What is the relation between humans body system and cell and it’s organelles?

The human body is made up of trillions of cells, each of which is a complex structure made up of various organelles. The organelles work together to keep the cell functioning properly, and in turn, the cells work together to form tissues and organs, which make up the various systems of the body such as the digestive, circulatory, nervous, and immune systems. Each organelle has a specific function, such as producing energy (mitochondria), breaking down waste (lysosomes), and making proteins (ribosomes). The proper functioning of organelles within cells is critical for the proper functioning of the body as a whole.

Example: 1

In human, largest organ is skin ( integument ) which which is the outer most organ.

In the cell, the most outer part is the cell membrane, which somehow works identically to the skin to execute its role of protection and cover the whole body of the cell.

In human, the nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body and coordinating its responses to stimuli. It consists of two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the PNS consists of all the nerves that lie outside the CNS. The PNS is further divided into the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary movement, and the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. The nervous system uses electrical and chemical signals to communicate and coordinate the body’s responses to internal and external stimuli.

At the cellular level, the Nucleus plays a vital role in supervision.

The nucleus of a cell is a membrane-bound organelle that contains the cell’s genetic material in the form of DNA. It is considered the "control center" of the cell as it regulates cell growth, division and the expression of genes. The nucleus also plays a key role in cell signaling, RNA processing, and protein synthesis.
