A very organic lesson

Today our lesson is about organs and organ systems.

We already know that when cells work together to perform a particular job they form a tissue. Well, when two or more tissues associate to perform some function, we have an organ, and when different organs work together they form a system. Your task today is to get familiar with the different organs and systems of the human body. You may start by writing the name of the main organ systems on the worksheets I've handed out to you. Then look for information about their function and their main organs by clicking on the following links:
