The human anatomy is categorized into separate "systems" depending on the type of function each organ or structure performs. For example, the penis is part of the Reproductive System but is also part of the Urinary System because the penis has two distinct functions. The kidneys and urinary bladder are two organs of the Urinary System because they have a similar function.

When we view the entire body, with each of its separate organ systems, we can say the entire body is a holistic system which strives to maintain "homeostasis", which is a word that generally means "a normal state". But only with the separate organ systems can the entire body be considered a unit of systems.

In multicellular organism such as fish which of these items is composed of all the others?

An organ system would be composed of all the other options listed: cells, tissues, and organs. Organ systems are made up of organs, which are made up of different types of tissues, which are in turn composed of cells.


What are human organs built by?

Human organs are built by tissues, which are in turn made up of cells. Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms and are organized into tissues to form organs. These organs work together within organ systems to carry out various functions in the body.


What is the correct sequence of bodily organization from simple to complex?

The correct sequence of bodily organization from simple to complex is: cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> organism. Cells are the basic building blocks of the body, which come together to form tissues. Tissues then combine to form organs, organs work together to form organ systems, and all the organ systems together make up a complete organism.


List four levels of organization in order simplest to complex?

The most simple are the cells. They form tissues and different tissues form organs. Different organs form organ systems and all the organ systems together form an organism like you.


If the tissues organs and organ systems were injured and diseased what will happen to the organism?

Tissues are made of similar cells all working together for a similar function. Organs are made of different tissues all working together. And, organ systems are made of different organs working together to make an organism work. So, if any of these stop working, you could say that all the 'levels of organization' will come tumbling down and the tissues won't be able to continue in a dead organism. Eventually all the anabolic processes will do catabolic and the organism will be reduced into organic waste in biological reductionism.

Which is the largest of these tissue Organ System cell or organ?

Cells are always the smallest unit in thinking about cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the organism. From smallest to largest, the order is:cells, which specialize and make specific types of tissuestissue, made up of specialized cellsorgans, made up of specialized tissuesorgan systems, made up of one or more organs that are specialized to do a specific functionthe entire organism, which includes all of the organ systems.See question: What is the highest level of organization of these structures cells tissues organs organ system organism


What is the highest level of organization of these structures cells tissues organs organ system organism?

Cells are always the smallest unit in thinking about cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the organism. The highest level of organization is therefore in reverse order:organism, made up of different organ systems each with specialized functionsorgan systems, made up of one or more organs that are specialized to do a specific functionorgans, made up of specialized tissuestissue, made up of specialized cellscells, which specialize and make specific types of tissues

Do all organisms have a organ system?

No, because if you have a single celled organism, you don't have enough cells to make a tissue, so you won't have enough tissue to make organs, and you won't have any organs to create an organ system.
