Question

Explain why it's advantageous to have several different organ systems instead of one large system to handle all of the human body's functions.

Answer:

Explanation:

Just as organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. The respiratory system, and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of carbon dioxide the cells produce.

Answer 2

Answer:

to avoid a general collapse of the system (eventually caused by the failure of the local organs)

Explanation:

An organ system can be defined as a group of organs that work together as a unit in order to perform a particular function. In an organ system, each organ has specific functions and is composed of different tissues that in turn have specialized tasks. Organ systems include, among others, the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, skeletal system, endocrine system, nervous system, etc.
