How do you define 'body system'?

Answer 1

In the human body:

• cells combine to form tissues
• tissues combine and form organs
• a group of organs combine to form a body system
• a body system is a group of organs that work togethr to accomplish a bodily function.

Some examples of these functions and the corresponding organs:

• digestion system (mouth, esphogus, stomach, large and small intestines, anus)
• circulatory system (heart, veins, arteries)
• muscular system (muscles)
• skeletal system (bones)
• nervous system (brain and nerve pathways)
• respritory system (lungs)

Answer 2

Biologists usually refer to a concept called the levels of organization when they discuss living things. The first level is the chemical, followed by; cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and then the entire multicellular organism. So the body systems refer to the organ systems that make up the organism.

The human body is usually divided into ten body, or organ systems; consisting of the respiratory, muscular, integumentary, nervous, digestive, circulatory, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine systems. A helpful acronym is R MIND CURES, as in 'Our Mind Cures." The 'Our' stands for the first 'R' for respiratory. Then use the other letters to recall the remaining body systems.

Note: Some sources divide the circulatory system in to two systems; the cardiovascular and the lymphatic. Also, many prefer to call the digestive system the gastrointestinal system.

There are other systems in the body that are not truly systems in of themselves, but are called systems anyway. They are not organ systems, but are also considered body systems; some examples include, immune system and excretory system.

Answer 3

A body or organ system is a group of organs that function together performing tasks to achieve a common goal.

For example the cardiovascular system with the blood vessels and the heart acts by transporting blood, plasma, etc. to different parts of the body to deliver oxygen, hormones, nutrients metabolites and many more.

Answer 4

A body system is a group of organs with co-ordinated activities, achieving the same general function in the body.

One example is the digestive system. It consists of several organs, such as the stomach, liver, and pancreas. Each organ has its own particular detailed functions, but the system as a whole has the overarching functions of digestion and absorption.

Different scientists (and textbook authors!) compile different lists of the systems of the human body, but typically they include:

* blood system (cardiovascular system) * digestive system

* endocrine system * nervous system * reproductive system * respiratory system among others.

Answer 5

Well i would have to say that the definition of the body system is that it has to do with all your organs in your body but of course we have to take it slow. so all im saying is that this jibba jabben of your has gotta stop, yea im talking to you, your the one reading the computer right! so how about you listen to me, stop talking all the time and find the real definition of the body system and stop looking up the answers! Think of it yourself!!

Answer 6

That really depends on what you mean by the question. For the most part a "system" would refer to something like the endocrine or circulatory systems, which are groups of multiple organs that work together to achieve their goal.

Answer 7

A system is made up of organs that all work to perform a specific function.

Answer 8

A group of different organs working together to carry out a common function.
