Our body is an amazing machine. It is made up of about hundred billions of cells. Cells
are the basic unit of the human body. These cells together form tissues. These tissues
further form several organs. These organs are altogether called organ system.

Organs and Systems of the Body                               Neck  Brain

The human body works like a machine and performs
several functions in a day. All functions are carried                       Shoulder
out by the special organ. There are almost 78 organs               Chest
in a human body. The major organ in the body of
human beings is the brain which is primarily                                   Arm
responsible for performing all the functions and                   Stomach
actions of the body. The large number of these body
organs makes a system of the body. All our body                                Hand
systems depend upon each other for their                           Thigh
functioning. For example, the nervous system
cannot work without the help of the muscular                                                   Foot
system. Two systems which work closely together
are the skeletal system and the muscular system.       Human body organs
