Overview of Organ Systems

In multicellular organisms, cells are organized into tissues, and tissues are organized into organs. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions. Each organ system has a specific role in the body, and it is made up of certain organs.

Levels of Organization

The hierarchy of organization in living organisms is as follows:

  • Cell: The basic unit of life.
  • Tissue: A group of similar cells performing a specific function.
  • Organ: A structure made of different tissues working together (e.g., heart, stomach).
  • Organ System: A group of organs performing a major body function.
  • Organism: An individual living being.

Key Human Organ Systems

System Name Major Organs Primary Function
Digestive Stomach, Intestines, Liver Breakdown and absorption of food.
Respiratory Lungs, Trachea Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Circulatory Heart, Blood Vessels Transport of blood, nutrients, and gases.
Nervous Brain, Spinal Cord Control and coordination of body activities.
Excretory Kidneys, Bladder Removal of waste products.

Plant Organ Systems

Plants also have organ systems, primarily the Root System (underground, absorbs water) and the Shoot System (above ground, performs photosynthesis and reproduction).
