Best Answer

Organs are simply parts of organ systems. An organ system is just what its name suggest - a system of numerous organs, working together. One organ by itself is simply an organ, but when lumped together with a few others, working together to accomplish a similar general goal (for example, the stomach and intestines working together to digest food) they can then be called an organ system.
