Answer:

Like cells and tissues, organs seldom work alone. They "cooperate" with one another and form specific organ systems. Organ systems are the fourth level of organization in living things. An organ system is a group of organs working together to perform a specific function for the organism.

Humans—and other complex multicellular organisms—have systems of organs that work together, carrying out processes that keep us alive.
The body has levels of organization that build on each other. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems.
The function of an organ system depends on the integrated activity of its organs. For instance, digestive system organs cooperate to process food.
