The Levels of Body Organization

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The body is organized in ascending levels: cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form systems.

Show

Muscle cells form muscle tissue, which forms the heart, part of the cardiovascular system.

Watch for

Each level is built from the one below it. A term naming one level does not name another.
