In your body there are different levels of organisation. Cells come in may types, such as skin cells and muscle cells. Cells of the same job in the body are grouped together to form tissues, such as muscles and nerves. At the next level of organisation, tissues are grouped to form organs, such as the stomach or brain. An organ is a structure that contains at least two different types of tissue that work together to complete a task. Organs are arranged into organ systems that have 2 or more different organs that work together.

TYPES OF DIGESTION
There are two different types of digestion mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion is when the food is broken down into smaller pieces. Mechanical digestion is a physical change because no new substances are made. Mechanical digestion happens when you tear and chew food with your teeth.In chemical digestion the large, complex substances in the food are broken down into simpler chemicals. This produces new, smaller chemicals that the body can absorb. Chemical digestion is a chemical change because new substances are produced. Chemical digestion happens when saliva in your mouth and gastric juice in your stomach break down your food.
