      Cells can be organised into organs or tissues. Tissues/Organs can be organised into a system – so for example your heart, arteries, veins and capillaries all form your circulation system. Ultimately though, all tissues are organised into a body.

      Cells group together to form a tissue (for example muscle), then tissues group together to form an organ (e.g. heart) and when you have several organs together that is called a system (e.g. circulatory system).

      The answers you’ve got already have nailed this. Cells are the building block of tissues, organs, systems and ultimately organisms! Amazing really.
