  • Organ Systems: Definition, Examples & Functions - [Your Brand/Website Name]
    A group of organs that work together to perform closely related functions is called an organ system.

    Here are some examples of organ systems in the human body:

    * Digestive system: Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.

    * Circulatory system: Transports blood 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.

    * Endocrine system: Produces hormones that regulate body processes.

    * Integumentary system: Protects the body from the environment.

    * Excretory system: Removes waste products from the body.

    Each organ system relies on the others to function properly. For instance, the digestive system breaks down food, and the circulatory system transports the nutrients to the cells.
