Week Eleven

As we all now know cells come together to form tissues, tissues come together to form organs, and organs come together to form organ systems. Which in turn form an organism (a living thing).

We have looked in depth into the structure and function of individual cells. Now we will see what happens when cells begin working together to create the amazing and complicated organism, the human body.
