An organ system in the body is a system that maintains life and carries out a specific function of the body so it can live well and be viable. Any organ system failure can result in death or ill health. Here are some of the organ systems: Cardiovascular, Skin or Dermal system, Filtering Systems (such as liver, kidneys, spleen), Digestive system, Nervous System, and what I call sensory systems (which do not threaten life when not functioning properly) such as hearing, light touch, vision, taste, and smell. Organ systems that keep your body alive are heart, lungs, brain, entire digestive system, liver, kidneys, hormones, nervous system (paralysis above a certain spinal zone will result in death or brain death). If your largest organ, the dermis is damaged too much by wounds, burns or disease you would not be able to live. So you can see that the organ systems do keep you alive and functioning either well or poorly depending on its condition.
