7. STRUCTURAL ORGANISATION IN ANIMALS
The structural organization of animals emphasizes the division of labor across cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems to ensure survival and functionality. In multicellular organisms, basic tissues combine to form organs that conduct specific functions. Frogs, as members of the class Amphibia, serve as an example to understand organ systems, including their distinctive morphology and anatomy, which are essential for their survival in varied environments.

What we have learnt
- Cells, tissues, organs and organ systems ensure survival through a division of labor.
- Frogs possess distinct morphological and anatomical features that allow them to thrive both on land and in water.
- The organs of frogs include well-defined systems for digestion, circulation, respiration, excretion, and reproduction.
Key Concepts
- -- Tissue
- A tissue is a group of similar cells along with intercellular substances that perform a specific function in the body.
- -- Morphology
- Morphology refers to the study of the form or externally visible features of organisms, particularly in the context of their organs or body parts.
- -- Anatomy
- Anatomy is the study of the internal structure of organisms and their parts.
- -- Amphibia
- A class of animals that can live both on land and in water, characterized by their ability to breathe through skin (cutaneous respiration) and lungs.
