organ systems
Coordinated tissue groups
Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform major bodily functions.
The digestive system breaks down food; the circulatory system moves blood; the nervous system transmits signals.
Humans have about eleven organ systems, though the exact count varies by how anatomists draw boundaries between them.
The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work closely together.
