Cells
GROUPS OF SIMILAR CELLS working together. The four main types of —— are EPITHELIAL, connective, muscle, and nervous —-
Tissues
STRUCTURE made of TWO OR MORE TYPES of TISSUES that perform specific functions (e.g. heart, lungs, and brain)
Organs

Organ system
11 Major systems of the human body (DEURIL)
- Skeletal system.
- Muscular system.
- Nervous system.
- Cardiovascular system.
- Respiratory system.
- Digestive system.
- Endocrine system.
- Urinary system.
- Reproductive system.
- Integumentary system.
- Lymphatic/ Immune system
BONES AND JOINTS provides support, protection, and movement.
Skeletal system
BRAIN, spinal cord, and NERVES; controls body functions and responds to stimuli.
Nervous system
HEART AND BLOOD vessels; circulates blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes
Cardiovascular system
LUNGS and airways; responsible for gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
Respiratory system
STOMACH, Intestines, Liver etc.; processes food and absorbs nutrients
Digestive system
GLANDS that secrete hormones; regulates body processes such as growth and metabolism
Endocrine system
KIDNEYS, BLADDER, etc.; eliminates waste and maintains water balance.
Urinary system
ORGANS involved in producing OFFSPRING
Reproductive system
