This multimedia resource, part of the NC Science Now series, describes how researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center's Institute for Regenerative Medicine are applying their understanding of the hierarchical structural organization of multicellular organisms to culture a variety of human tissues. By growing miniature human livers, hearts and kidneys and linking them together with a blood substitute, they can evaluate the effects of new drug therapies. Components of this resource include a video and a related blog article. Links to these components are provided on the page under the heading "UNC-TV Media."

This video lesson instructs students in the hierarchical organization of multi-cellular organisms. Each level of organization is identified and defined. The four types of tissues are discussed in detail. Supplemental materials include a transcript of the video and a quiz for assessment.

In this slide show, students see an overview of the complex human body system. They learn that the human body is built with different cells. Similar cells get together to form tissues, like muscle tissue. All of these tissues form the organs that keep everything in the body running smoothly like the digestive and circulatory systems.

In this lesson, students will learn how the components of a cell operate as a system. Students will discuss the meaning of the word "system" and then apply the definition to their observations of a paramecium, noting that the single-celled organism is only alive because all the components work together. They will also examine prepared slides of human body cells and compare to the paramecium.
