Organisms
A single, complete individual
Organism
A group of organs with a different collective function, such as: circulation, respiration, or digestion.
Circulation - the movement of blood through the body
Respiration - organs and tissues that help you breathe
Digestion - breaks down food into simple nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins)
Organ System
A structure made of two or more tissue types that work together to carry out a particular function.
- Have anatomical boundaries and are visibly able to differentiate from close structures.
Organ
T or F. The large organs visible to the naked eye, often has smaller organs that you can only see with a microscope.
True
The largest organ of the body is _____.
Skin
The small tiny organs that are connected to the skin:
- Hair
- Nail
- Gland
- Nerve
- Blood vessel
T or F. A single organ can belong to two organ systems.
Give an example.
True. The pancreas belongs to the endocrine and digestive system.
