The relationship between the basic functions of the human body and its organs are explained as follows: the body is made up of organs which form part of a number of systems which maintains and keeps the body functioning. The nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, immune system, excretory system, etc, all operate in order to have the body function properly.

The digestive system uses the stomach and large intestine to break down food, absorb nutrients and convert food to waste/faeces. The respiratory system uses the lungs and the function of this organ in to inhale clean oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide from the body.
