Human organs are organized into organ systems, many of which are shown in Figure below. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to carry out a complex overall function. Each organ of the system does part of the larger job. Many of the organ systems that make up the human body are represented here.
The eleven distinct organ systems in the human body covered in this book seen in Figure 1.3.2 1.3. 2 and Figure 1.3.3 1.3. 3 include: The integumentary system functions to enclose internal body structures and is the site of many sensory receptors. Some organs of this system include skin, hair, and nails.
Figure 1.1: The image includes 6 systems of the body. The Integumentary System encloses internal body structures and the site of many sensory receptors. Consists of hair, skin, and nails. The Skeletal System supports the body and enables movement along with the muscular system. Consists of cartilage, bones, and joints.
