51
Work together to perform life functions.
Organs
52
is a group of organs that work together to convert food into energy and building blocks for the body.
The Digestive System
53
is a biological system responsible for gas exchange, primarily taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
The Respiratory System
54
also known as the cardiovascular system, is a network of organs that works together to transport blood throughout the body
The Circulatory System
55
is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that defends the body against infections and other diseases.
The Immune System
56
