Assignment title
Organisation within the human body
The purpose of this assignment is to know the levels of organisation within the human body.
Scenario
You are required to produce a range of reference material covering the topic of cells and tissues. Your reference
materials are to be used by doctors and health workers in providing explanations to patients about different aspects
of health and disease.
Task 1
P1: Describe the organisation of the eukaryotic cell in terms of functions of the organelles
Make a 3D model or a detailed, annotated poster of a eukaryotic cell including all of the relevant organelles. To
accompany your model, produce an explanation of the role that each of these organelles performs.
You should include the following organelles:
plasma membrane; cytoplasm; nucleus; nucleolus; endoplasmic reticulum; Golgi apparatus; vesicles; lysosomes;
mitochondria; ribosomes; centrioles.
This provides evidence for P1
Task 2
P2: Describe the four different tissue types
Produce a written report on cell differentiation and tissue formation. Your report needs to include the following;
 What is cell differentiation and why it is important in organisms.
 Explain the level of organisation in organisms; how cells form tissues, organs and organ systems.
 Describe the 4 following groups of tissue types, including annotated diagrams.
Epithelial tissue
Muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
Connective tissue
 Comparing different tissues - explain similarities and differences in the structure of the tissues and how this
relates to the function of different tissues with similar functions. Select two of the following to outline in more
depth.
o Voluntary (skeletal) and cardiac muscle
o A comparison of epithelial cells
o Exocrine and endocrine tissue
o Nervous tissue (neurones and neuroglia or two sense organs/receptors)
o Connective tissue (bone and cartilage)
This provides evidence for P2
Task 3
M1: Use diagrams or micrographs to compare and contrast the four tissue types
Use diagrams and micrographs to compare and contrast the four different tissue types (epithelial, muscle, nervous
and connective) Make a large poster-sized table showing the features of each type, where they are found in the
body, their function and how their structure enables them to carry out their function. Include labelled diagrams of
examples of each tissue. Ensure that you explain how its structure enables it to carry out its function.
This provides evidence for M1

Task 4
Unit 11: Physiology of human body systems
D1: Explain the relationship between cells, tissues, organs and organ systems in the
organisation of the human body
Design a leaflet that explains the organisation of the eukaryotic cell and explains the relationship between cells, tissues,
organs and organ systems in the organisation of the human body. You should include examples of tissues that you have
studied in previous tasks to illustrate the relationships. You are advised to use diagrams to illustrate your explanations and
ensure that you explain how cells, tissues, organs and organ systems related to each other so that the human body can
function as a whole.
This provides evidence for D1
