Chapter 2 Major Organ Systems

The document summarizes the major organ systems in flowering plants and humans. It describes the root, stem, leaves and flowers of plants, noting roots take up water and minerals, stems transport nutrients and support other organs, and leaves contain chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis. It then outlines the main human organ systems, including: the skeletal system which supports and protects the body; circulatory system which transports blood, nutrients and waste; respiratory system which facilitates gas exchange; digestive system which breaks down food; nervous system which transmits messages; excretory system which filters waste; sensory system of sense organs; and endocrine system of hormone-secreting glands.
