    Levels of Organisation

    Living organisms are organised in a hierarchy:

    Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ Systems → Organism

    A tissue is a group of similar cells working together for a specific function (e.g. muscle tissue). An organ is a group of different tissues working together (e.g. the stomach contains muscular, glandular, and epithelial tissue). An organ system is a group of organs working together (e.g. the digestive system).
