Organ System Concept Maps Explained
An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a major body function. The body is organized in levels: cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form organ systems. A concept map of organ systems lays out this hierarchy so you can see how each system connects to the others and what each one does.
- Cells and tissues: the basic building blocks of each organ
- Circulatory and respiratory: transport of blood, oxygen and carbon dioxide
- Digestive and excretory: breakdown of food and removal of waste
- Nervous and endocrine: control and coordination through signals and hormones
- Skeletal and muscular: support, movement and protection
Use the map to review for exams, check how systems depend on one another, or plan a presentation. Create your own version from your class notes with CogniGuide.

Organ System Concept Map Questions
Answers to common questions about organ systems and making a map of them.
How many organ systems are there in the human body?
Most textbooks describe eleven major organ systems, including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Some sources group them differently.
What is the difference between an organ and an organ system?
An organ is a structure made of several tissue types that performs a specific task, such as the heart. An organ system is a group of organs that work together for one broader function, such as the circulatory system.
Which file types can I use to make an organ system map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also type a topic instead.
Is it free to create an organ system concept map?
Yes. The free plan lets you create five maps a week with no payment needed, and paid plans raise those limits.
