Question

multiple choice question

a group of organs with a specific collective function would be termed a(n) ______.

system
tissue
integration
structure
collection

Explanation:

Analyze the levels of biological organization

In anatomy and physiology, the body is organized into hierarchical levels of structural complexity. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs work together to form systems.

Define the term for a group of organs

Using the Medical Word Structure concept, we look at how anatomical terms are organized. A group of different organs working together to perform a specific, collective, complex function is defined as an organ system (or simply a system).

Evaluate the given options

• system: A group of organs working together for a common purpose (e.g., the digestive system). This matches the definition.
• tissue: A group of similar cells working together.
• integration: The process of combining or coordinating functions, not a structural group of organs.
• structure: A general term for any anatomical part, not specific to a group of organs.
• collection: A non-specific term that does not represent a formal level of biological organization.

Answer:

• system (Correct answer)
• tissue
• integration
• structure
• collection
