Life's Building Blocks: Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Systems

The video explores the organization of living things, starting with cells, the basic unit of life. It explains how cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems, each level building on the previous one to ensure the organism functions efficiently. Examples include muscle and nerve tissues, the heart and lungs as organs, and the digestive and circulatory systems. The video emphasizes the interconnectedness of these systems in maintaining life.
