The circulatory system — practice question

In multicellular organisms, each cell type has a structure suited to its role. Cells also contain several different organelles, and each organelle has a specific function. Table 1.1 gives information on the structure and function of five distinct cell types. For each cell type, the table also names one organelle that is essential for that function to take place.
(a)[5]

Fill in Table 1.1.

(b)[4]

Explain, using its structure and function, whether the aorta should be described as a tissue or as an organ.
