Contents
The Eukaryote Cell
Prokaryote/Eukaryote Differences
Animal Tissue Structure
Summary of Section
The Eukaryote Cell

The module makes extensive use of 3D graphics and animations in explaining the structure and function of typical animal and plant cells and their organelles. The module provides an extended navigation system which utilises both the standard PCCAL paging model and click/touch sensitive cell diagrams for direct access to information about specific organelles and features. The package deals with the following topics.

  • Cellular membranes
  • Cell organelles
  • Chromosome structure
  • Differences between typical plant and animal cells
Prokaryote/Eukaryote Differences
The module compares and contrasts the features found in the eukaryote and prokaryote cell and discusses examples from different kingdoms of the classification system.
Animal Tissue Structure
The module explores the differentiation of the cell into specific animal cell and tissue types. It provides an introduction to the following tissue types:
  • Epithelial tissues
  • Glandular epithelia
  • Exocrine glands
  • Endocrine glands
  • Connective tissues
  • Smooth, heart and skeletal muscle
  • Neurone structure
