What organ system are the organs in
the picture key components of?
The question is telling us that
this diagram is of organs. And it’s asking us which organ
system these organs belong to. So our first step is to identify
the organs in the picture. The organs pictured are the
lungs. The human body has about 11 organ
systems, and we need to figure out which of these 11 your lungs belong to. Well, we know that our lungs allow
us to breathe in oxygen and to breathe out carbon dioxide. This process is commonly known as
breathing or, more technically, as respiration. And here’s our most important
clue. Since our lungs play a key role in
respiration, we can conclude that they’re key components of the respiratory organ
system.
So, returning to our question,
“What organ system are the organs in the picture key components of?”, the lungs in
the picture are key components of the respiratory system.
