Module 1 - Introduction

Relationships between body systems

In this e-learning course, we'll explain and illustrate the body at a system level. It is, however, important to remember that no one system functions in isolation; they are all interconnected and rely on one another to function correctly.

As each group of organs fulfils its own primary responsibilities, it provides vital assistance to one or more of the other systems. All systems work together to achieve homeostasis, that is, the maintenance of a stable internal environment.
