What is an organ? What is the relationship between organs and an organ system?

Explain the following statement: “Organ systems work together to carry out necessary functions for survival and growth.”

Explain how three organs of the digestive system (such as the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestines or large intestines) work together to sustain the function of the system.

Compare and contrast how the circulatory system interacts with the digestive system and excretory system.

How would the function of the respiratory system change if capillaries (vessels of the circulatory system) did not surround the alveoli (tiny air sacs) of the lungs?

In kidney failure, the kidneys cannot properly perform their function. One of the most common causes of kidney failure is high blood pressure - a disease associated with the circulatory system. High blood pressure damages the blood vessels that deliver blood to the kidney.How would kidney failure impact the relationship between the circulatory and excretory system? How would this impact the overall growth and survival of a person?

Explain how the nervous, skeletal and muscular system work together to enable a person to move in the environment. Draw a diagram to illustrate the interactions between these organ systems that allow for locomotion.
