• True

• False

Our organs work together!

When one or more organs work together, it's called an organ system.

For example...

But organ systems also work together!

They interact in a bunch of ways to carry out the complex functions we're used to, like: walking, eating, and growing up!

Example #1: Moving

On the surface level:

^{+ Muscles move bones to run}

But also, what is coordinating it all?

^{+ The nervous system!}

And where is it getting energy from?

^{+ The digestive system!}

Where do the cells get oxygen from?

^{+ The circulatory and respiratory systems!}

Example #2: Eating

You'd think it's just the digestive system turning food into nutrients, right? Well, that's one level...

It's also:

+ Bones (teeth, mandible) chewing

+ Muscles moving food along

+ Blood vessels carrying nutrients

+ Brain bossing everyone around

+ Hormones making you hungry/full

The things you do to keep alive must be done by more than one organ system!

That's what makes you an organism.
