is composed of several ____________of organization that include cells, tissues, organs and
organ systems.
2. Each smaller level combines together to make the next level.
3. ____________ are the building blocks of all living things.
4. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform the same ______________ .
5. Organs are groups of different _____________ with a specific function.
6. Finally, organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform a specific
job. Give 3 systems in our body: _________________, __________________ and
________________ systems.
