Organ systems are really just pockets of differentiated somatic tissues that share a common function. Take the example of the kidney. The tissue there shares a common developmental history and the process filtration of the blood and the selective absorption from the filtrate makes the concentration of this function to one (actually most organs are bilateral) location logical. The key is the circulation. Anything that is secreted by an organ will get to the entire body because blood gets to the entire body.

Can body organs with different functions be grouped into organ systems?

Yes, body organs with different functions can be grouped into organ systems. Organ systems are made up of organs that work together to perform specific functions in the body. For example, the respiratory system includes organs such as the lungs and trachea which work together to facilitate breathing and gas exchange.


Are organ systems made of cells?

Yes, organ systems are made up of different types of cells that work together to perform specific functions within the body. Each organ system has its own unique structure and function, with cells playing a key role in carrying out these functions.


What organ systems do all living things have?

All living things have organ systems that facilitate essential life processes, though the complexity and number of these systems can vary significantly between organisms. In multicellular organisms, such as animals and plants, key organ systems include the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. Single-celled organisms may not have distinct organ systems but still perform essential functions like metabolism and reproduction through their cellular structures. Overall, the systems are adapted to meet the specific needs of the organism's environment and way of life.
