English translation:systems of the human body
Explanation:
You should translate "sistemas y aparatos" as "systems"; the same word is used in English for both. In other words, the distinction observed in Spanish between "sistema", a set of organs responsible for the functional coordination of the body (e.g. sistema nervioso) and "aparato" for the rest (e.g. aparato digestivo) is not observed in English: we call them all "systems" (nervous system, digestive system, etc.)
