human body system A system of human body means a collective functional unit made by several organs in which the organs work in complete coordination with one another. Organs cannot work alone because their are certain needs of every organ that need to be fulfilled and the organ itself cannot fulfill those needs. So all organs of human body need the support of other organs to perform their functions and in this way an organ system is formed. Example of dependance of organs of a system on one another:

for set processes to occur. The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce hormones and release them into the blood‚ they cause certain reactions to occur in specific tissues. The endocrine system affects a large number of the body’s functions‚ including‚ metabolism‚ sexual function‚ reproduction‚ moods‚ and development.
