A is made of two or more parts that work together as a whole. If one of the parts is missing or damaged, a will not work well. It might not work at all. On the lines below, name one type of in your home. Give an example of what might happen if one part of it is damaged. Mark the Text Create an Outline Make an outline of the information in this section. Use the headings in the reading as a starting point. Include the boldface terms and any other terms that you think are important. cell organ organ organism Section 2.1 Summary What parts make up each of the human body? There are 11 s of the body. Each of these s is made up of different parts that work together as a whole to perform all the functions that keep you alive. The parts that make up each body are cells, s, organs, and organ s. What is? Cells that have the same structure and that play the same role in the body are grouped together to form. For instance, muscle cells are grouped to form muscle. Reading Check 1. What is a? What is an organ? Tissues of different kinds that work together form an organ. For instance, the heart is an organ. The heart is mostly made of muscle. Nerve transfers signals to the heart from the brain and from other parts of the body. Epithelial lines the inside of the heart and covers the outside of it. 20 MHR Body Systems 2006 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

Muscle, nerve, epithelial, and connective are also found in other organ s. What is an organ? An organ can work by itself or it can work together with other organs to form an organ. The heart is the only organ in the circulatory. The digestive has several different organs, including the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intestine. The organs of the digestive work together to help you take in food, break it down, absorb nutrients, and remove solid wastes from your body. continued Reading Check 2.
