A tissue is made of cells of a single type, working
together. An example is striated muscle tissue which enables us to perform voluntary
movements in the body. Another example is epithelial tissue which lines organs inside
the body. The lining of the mouth contains epithelial tissue. An organ is composed of
several different types of tissue working together to perform a function. An example of
an organ is the heart. Tissues that make up the heart include--blood, nerve, connective,
muscle, and epithelial tissues. When these tissues work together, the job of the heart
can be performed. The heart is able to pump blood to the lungs and to all the systems of
the body, constantly throughout a person's life. However, the heart is only one part of
the organ system known as the transport or circulatory system. An organ system is
composed of several types of organs working together to carry out a life process, in
this case transport. The organs in the transport system include the heart, arteries,
capillaries and veins. Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis within an
organism.
