Explain why it's advantageous to have several different organ systems instead of one large system to handle all of the human body's functions.

to avoid a general collapse of the system (eventually caused by the failure of the local organs)

Explanation:

An organ system can be defined as a group of organs that work together as a unit in order to perform a particular function. In an organ system, each organ has specific functions and is composed of different tissues that in turn have specialized tasks. Organ systems include, among others, the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, skeletal system, endocrine system, nervous system, etc.
