Is your tongue a tissue and organ or an organ system?

It is an organ. A tongue is an organ because a group of tissues makes up an organ. A tongue is more than a tissue, so it must be an organ. Each type of tissue in the tongue performs an essential task to help the tongue function properly.


How do organs compare to organ systems?

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.


Did antonie van leeuwenhoek see organ systems?

No, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek did not see organ systems. He is known for pioneering the field of microbiology and discovering microorganisms such as bacteria and protists through his development of the microscope. Organ systems are composed of multiple organs working together, which are too large to be observed using the microscopes Leeuwenhoek created.

Major organs of the systems in the body?

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.

What is longest organ in the human body?

The human body's largest organ is the skin but you asked what was the largest organ INside your body. The largest in volume is your brain and the liver. Organs weigh different amounts too so the heaviest is usually the liver and then the brain. Believe it or not but your heart is only the size of your fist normally. The lungs are very large too and are part of the cardiovascular organ systems but the brain and liver are slightly larger than an individual lung (unless you are an athlete or military person with very large lungs for being able to do strenuous activities).


What system does inch belong too?

How do you relate the levels of organ systems to each other and to the whole system or organism?

Every organ system is separate but interrelated to the whole.The organism can survive if there is injury or disease in an organ system, in most cases, but every injury or disease also affects all the other organ systems and the organism as a whole. So if you have a pancreatic disease like Diabetes in the digestive system, eventually it will affect the heart in the circulatory system. If a person has full-thickness burn injuries (skin), it will immediately affect other systems, especially circulatory (immediately). If you have an injury resulting in paralysis below chest level, it will affect the Digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, and can even affect skin throughout the body.The organism cannot survive, however, if one complete organ system cannot function. If the heart is injured the body can die. If the liver is too diseased, the body will die. If the lungs cannot function, the body will die. And of course, when something major attacks or damages the brain, all organ systems will fail.
