Each smaller level combines together to make the next level. Cells are the building blocks of all living things. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform the same function. Organs are groups of different tissues with a specific function. Finally, organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform a specific job. The Human Body is made up of many systems that work together to perform complex tasks on a daily basis.
