5.1: Organs and Systems of the Human Organism - Medicine LibreTexts
An organ is a group of tissues that work together for the overall function of the organ, and an organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function. The human organism consists of eleven organ systems. They are Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System, Endocrine System, Cardiovascular System, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Digestive System, Urinary System, and Reproductive System (Female and Male). Figure 5.1.1 5.1. 1 Organs and organ systems are the highest levels of complexity forming the human organism.
