Organisation in the human body

Level 1 - Cells
 Cells

are the basic structural unit of living things.  Some examples of cell types in humans are:


 

blood cells nerve cells bone cells

Level 2 - Tissues
 Groups

of similar cells that work closely together are called tissues.  These cells are similar in structure and function. Together, they perform a certain activity.  Humans have four basic tissues:
 connective

tissue  epithelial tissue  muscle tissue  nerve tissue

Level 3 - Organs
Organs are groups of tissues working together to perform a small range of actions.  The activities of organs range from pumping blood through the body (the heart's job) to protecting the body from outside elements (the skin's job).  Examples of human organs are:

 stomach  lungs  liver

Level Three: Organs

When a bunch of different types of tissues work together, they form an organ. organ.

Level 4 - Systems
When multiple organs are interconnected, they have the ability to aid each other in regulating the broader functions of the body.  The human body has eleven organ systems:

 circulatory  digestive  endocrine  excretory

(urinary)  immune (lymphatic)

 integumentary  muscular  nervous  reproductive  respiratory  skeletal

(skin)
