Step 1

The human body is composed of various systems that aid in control, function, locomotion, circulation, respiration, digestion, and excretion of the body. One important category is organ systems in the human body which is composed of 11 various organs which are concerned with controlling the body (central nervous system), digestion (digestive system of the body), excretion (excretory system of the body), movement, locomotion, stability, and framework (skeletal and muscular system) and so on. These organs are situated in their respective cavities which aid in providing them with protection from injuries and physical trauma, maintain the equilibrium around the organs, and prevent accidental entry of other body features/tissues near the organ or in the space surrounding the organ.
