Answer 2

Hi  =]

First let us explore the organ:

An organ is a structure that contains at least two different types of tissue functioning together for a common purpose.  There are many different organs in the body: the liver, kidneys, heart, even your skin is an organ.

And a system is:

Organ systems are composed of two or more different organs that work together to provide a common function.

For example:

The skeletal system includes these organs: Bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments.

So, in order to have a system you need the organs !! =) Very easy.

Hope it helped =)

Answer 3

I agree with the previous answer- an organ has only one or several definite functions only specific for this particular organ and the system a union of all organs.
