Oh my God, oh, oh, wow, oh, oh, man.

The world. Hello, you're listening to the Science of Everything podcast, episode 26, human organ systems,

and I'm your host, James Fodor.

This episode is in continuation from the previous episode where I talked about tissues,

tissues, organs, and systems.

In this episode, I'm going to discuss the human organ systems in more detail, what they do

in general terms, and I'll conclude with a broad discussion of

how organ systems work together to keep the human body going and to fulfill its function.

Bear in mind that this is only a brief introduction to all the systems, just so you have an idea of what they are and what they do.

I'll go into more detail in each of these systems

in a future episode, probably about one, maybe sometimes two systems to a podcast.

So, hopefully this will be a relatively short episode because it's just a continuation of

episode 25.

Recommend that you listen to that before you listen to this one if you haven't already.

All right, so let's get started.

Human organ systems. One thing that I'd like to point out,

many of these systems are quite similar in most mammals. Indeed, many animals in general have similar

systems, but my comments are going to be specifically directed to human organ systems. Okay, so

human, the human organ systems, there are approximately a dozen of them, depends exactly how to

categorize them.

They can be lumped together in different ways, but the way I prefer is to lump them into the very broad categories of the systems that provide for the structure and protection of the human body,

those that provide for metabolism, those that facilitate communication, and then sort of on its own is the reproductive
