    A collection of organs that carry out a specific function for the body is called a system.

    Here are some examples:

    * Digestive system: Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.

    * Circulatory system: Transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body.

    * Respiratory system: Takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.

    * Nervous system: Controls and coordinates body functions.

    * Musculoskeletal system: Provides support, movement, and protection for the body.

    * Endocrine system: Produces and releases hormones that regulate body functions.

    * Integumentary system: Protects the body from the environment.

    * Immune system: Defends the body against disease.

    * Urinary system: Removes waste products from the blood.

    * Reproductive system: Produces sex cells and hormones.

    Each system works together with other systems to maintain the body's overall health and function.
