Which describes an organ system?
An organ system is made of a few organs that perform multiple functions.
All of the organs in an organ system are made of a single type of tissue.
Multiple organs make up an organ system that performs a major function.
One organ and the blood vessels that supply it make up an organ system.
If you were a single-celled organism and you lived in a nutrient-rich place, staying alive would be pretty straightforward. For instance, if you were an amoeba living in a pond, you could absorb nutrients straight from your environment. The oxygen you would need for metabolism could diffuse in across your cell membrane, and carbon dioxide and other wastes could diffuse out. When the time came to reproduce, you could just divide yourself in two!
However, odds are you are not an amoeba—given that you're using Khan Academy right now—and things aren’t quite so simple for big, many-celled organisms like human beings. Your complex body has over 30 trillion cells, and most of those cells aren’t in direct contact with the external environment.^1

How, then, does the body nourish its cells and keep itself running? Let's take a closer look at how the organization of your amazing body makes this possible.
Multicellular organisms need specialized systems
Most cells in large multicellular organisms don't directly exchange substances like nutrients and wastes with the external environment, instead, they are surrounded by an internal environment of extracellular fluid—literally, fluid outside of cells. The cells get oxygen and nutrients from this extracellular fluid and release waste products into it. Humans and other complex organisms have specialized systems that maintain the internal environment, keeping it steady and able to provide for the needs of the cells.
Different systems of the body carry out different functions. For example, your digestive system is responsible for taking in and processing food, while your respiratory system—working with your circulatory system—is responsible for taking up oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide. The muscular and skeletal systems are crucial for movement; the reproductive system handles reproduction; and the excretory system gets rid of metabolic waste.
Because of their specialization, these different systems are dependent on each other. The cells that make up the digestive, muscular, skeletal, reproductive, and excretory systems all need oxygen from the respiratory system to function, and the cells of the respiratory system—as well as all the other systems—need nutrients and must get rid of metabolic wastes. All the systems of the body work together to keep an organism up and running.
Overview of body organization
All living organisms are made up of one or more cells. Unicellular organisms, like amoebas, consist of only a single cell. Multicellular organisms, like people, are made up of many cells. Cells are considered the fundamental units of life.
The cells in complex multicellular organisms like people are organized into tissues, groups of similar cells that work together on a specific task. Organs are structures made up of two or more tissues organized to carry out a particular function, and groups of organs with related functions make up the different organ systems.
Yes, most drivers usually perform the physical functions better than the mental driving functions.

A combination of two or more tissues working together to perform a specific job in the body is called an organ. Multiple organs working together is known as an organ system.

Yes, the pronoun 'their' is a possessive adjective, a word that describes a noun such as 'ability' as belonging to a plural or multiple antecedent noun. Example:We test our applicants on their ability to perform the job.
The different membrane-enclosed spaces allow different parts of the cell to perform specific functions.

Karaoke machines vary in the amount of functions they can perform. While some machines have their own video monitor, others need to be plugged into a TV screen. Other normal functions include volume control, multiple microphone ports, echo control, and built-in video cameras.
