In Biology, a biological system (or organ systemor body system) is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Common systems, such as those present in mammals and other animals, seen in human anatomy, are those such as the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the nervous system, etc.
A group of systems composes an organism, e.g. the human body.
Human SystemsHumans have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species' organism. These specific systems are widely studied in Human anatomy. "Human" systems are also present in many other animals.- Circulatory system: pumping and channeling blood to and from the body and lungs with heart, blood and blood vessels.
- Digestive system: digestion and processing food with salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines, rectum and anus.
- Endocrine system: communication within the body using hormones made by endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary or pituitary gland, pineal body or pineal gland, thyroid, parathyroids and adrenals, i.e., adrenal glands.
- Integumentary system: skin, hair, fat, and nails.
- Lymphatic system: structures involved in the transfer of lymph between tissues and the blood stream, the lymph and the nodes and vessels that transport it including the Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents with leukocytes, tonsils, adenoids, thymus and spleen.
- Muscular system: movement with muscles.
- Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and nerves.
- Reproductive system: the sex organs, such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis.
- Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm.
- Skeletal system: structural support and protection with bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
- Urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra involved in fluid balance, electrolyte balance and excretion of urine.
- Endocannabinoid system: neuromodulatory lipids and receptors involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, motor learning, synaptic plasticity, and memory.

What group of different populations of organisms is called a?
cells
What term is defined as a group of organisms of the same sp Interacting in a given area?
Population. A localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called a
What is a group of individual organisms that have exactly the same set of genes called?
clone- group of indivdual organisms that have exactly the same genes
What do you call a group of organisms of a single species that live in the same area at the same time?
A group of organisms of the same species is called a population. A group of different species living together is called a community.
A group of organisms that can interbreed is called a?
When a group of organisms can interbreed they are considered a species. Humans can interbreed and produce other humans because they are the same species.
