BODY SYSTEMS
Nervous System
• Major Organs:Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs, receptors
• Function:Controls and coordinates body movements and
senses; controls consciousness and creativity; helps monitor and maintain other body systems
• Connection to other Systems:ALL other body systems because it sends
electrical signals which control their functions.
Skeletal
• Major Organs:
Bones
• Function:
Provides structure; supports and protects internal organs
• Connections to other Systems:
Muscular System, Nervous System, Circulatory System
Muscular • Major Organs:Muscles (skeletal, cardiac, and
smooth) • Function: Provides structure;
supports and moves trunk and limbs
• Connection to other Systems:Skeletal System, Circulatory
System, & Nervous System.
Digestive
• Major Organs:Mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas,
small and large intestines
• Function: Stores and digests food; absorbs nutrients; eliminates wastes
• Connection to other Systems:Circulatory System, Excretory System &
Nervous System.
Circulatory • Major Organs:Heart, blood vessels, blood
• Function: Transport nutrients and wastes to and
from all body tissues
• Connection to other Systems:ALL other body systems!
Respiratory
• Function: Carries air into and out of lungs, (gases:
oxygen and carbon dioxide)
• Major Organs:Air passages, lungs
• Connection to other Systems:ALL because it supplies the body with
oxygen and takes out carbon dioxide
Urinary
• Major Organs:
Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra,
• Function:
Eliminates waste; maintains water and chemical balance
• Connection to other Systems: Circulatory system- clean blood, excretory system-eliminates waste
Excretory Systems
• Major Organs:
kidneys, large intestines, lungs, skin
• Function:
To get rid of wastes that could harm the body• Connection to other Systems:
Respiratory system exhales waste gas, Integumentary system sweats of waste, Urinary system- liquid wastes are released in urine, Digestive system- large intestines release solid waste
• Main Organs
Skin, hair, nails
• Function:
The body's first line of defense. Keeps pathogens from entering the body.
• Connection to other Body System:
Connected to immune system because to also help protect us
Integumentary System
Immune
• Major Organs:Lymph nodes and vessels, white blood cells
• Function: Provides protection against infection and disease
• Connection to other Systems:Circulatory System, Digestive System,
Urinary/Excretory System & Nervous System.
• Main Organs:
tonsils, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes
• Functions:
Transports lymph through the body. Lymph is a clear fluid that aids during infections
• Connections to Other Body Systems
Immune system-protection Circulatory system- transport.
Lymphatic System
Endocrine • Major Organs:Glands (such as adrenal, thyroid, and pancreas),
hypothalamus
• Function:Maintains homeostasis; regulates metabolism, water
and mineral balance, growth and sexual development, and reproduction
Connection to other Systems:ALL other body systems because it supplies the
hormones that help them function.
Reproductive
• Major Organs:Ovaries, uterus, mammary glands (females),
testes (males)
• Function:Produces offspring
• Connection to other Systems:Nervous System, Circulatory System, &
Endocrine System,
