Here's a breakdown:
* Cells: The basic unit of life.
* Tissues: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
* Organs: Structures made up of different tissues that work together to perform a more complex function.
* Organ Systems: Groups of organs that work together to carry out major bodily functions.
For example, the stomach is an organ composed of:
* Epithelial tissue: Lining the stomach and protecting it from digestive juices.
* Muscle tissue: Responsible for contractions that churn food.
* Connective tissue: Providing support and structure.
* Nervous tissue: Regulating stomach function and communicating with the brain.
