An example of a system: The nervous system

In biology, a system is a group of organs that work together for a similar goal. Common systems are the circulatory system, the respiratory system and the nervous system. All organs are surrounded by capillaries, and are made up of tissues. A group of systems composes an organism, e.g. the human body.
