Question

Which of the following is the correct order from most complex to simplest for the levels of organization in the human body? A. cells, organs, organ systems, tissues B. organ systems, organs, tissues, cells C. organ systems, tissues, organs, cells D. cells, tissues, organs, organ systems

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "organ systems, organs, tissues, cells".

Explanation:

The biological processes that sustain life in the human body take place at different structural organizations. The simplest being the chemical processes themselves, and the most complex the organ systems. However, without including the chemical processes, the correct order from most complex to simplest is: organ systems, organs, tissues, cells. Cells are the basics units of life, tissues are groups of cells that function as an unit (epithelial, connective, muscular, among others), organs are made of one or more tissues (heart, lungs, liver, among others) and organ systems are comprised of multiple tissues performing a body function ( nervous, circulatory, respiratory, among others).

Answer 2

B. organ systems, organs, tissues, cells Organ systems are the most complex in this grouping, they are made up of multiple organs, tissues and cells all working together with other organ systems to keep an organism alive. Examples of organ systems are the digestive system, respiratory system, nervous system. Organs are groups of tissues and cells working together with a main purpose. Examples of organs are heart (pumps blood), brain (controls the body), stomach (digests food). Tissues are groups of cells working together as a whole such as cardiac tissue, adipose tissue and blood. Cells are the smallest unit of life, in groups they form tissues and organs. Cells of the body include neurons, blood cells, skin cells, and fat cells.
