ORGAN SYSTEMS

Organism is made up of several organ systems that all work together as a unit to make sure the body
keeps functioning. There are ten major organ systems in the body, each of which plays a different role
in helping the body work.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
This system is made up of the heart, blood, blood vessels, and lymphatics. It is the body’s delivery
system, concerned with circulating blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The purpose of the digestive system is to turn the food you eat into something useful for the body.
When you eat, your body uses this system to digest food so your cells can use it to make energy. The
organs involved in this system include the mouth, stomach, and intestines.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
This system is made up of a collection of glands, including the pituitary and thyroid glands, as well as
the ovaries and testes. It regulates, coordinates, and controls a number of body functions by secreting
chemicals into the bloodstream. These secretions help control moods, growth and development, and
metabolism.

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
This system consists of the skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Its main function is to act as a barrier to
protect the body from the outside world. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against
disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM
This system is made up of muscle tissue that helps move the body and move materials through the
body. Quite simply, muscles move you. Muscles are bundles of cells and fibers that work in a simple
way: they tighten up and relax.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system is the control center of the human body. It is made up of the brain, spinal cord,
and nerves. It receives and interprets stimuli and transmits impulses to organs. Your brain uses the
information it receives to coordinate all of your actions and reactions.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The human reproductive system ensures that humans are able to reproduce and survive as a species.
It is made up of organs such as the uterus, penis, ovaries, and testes.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
The primary function of the respiratory system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the
blood to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. The respiratory system does this through breathing. It
consists of the nose, larynx, trachea, diaphragm, bronchi, and lungs.

SKELETAL SYSTEM
The skeletal system provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting and
protecting our bodies, allowing bodily movement, producing blood cells, and storing minerals. This
system consists of bones, cartilage, and joints.

URINARY SYSTEM
The purpose of the urinary system is to filter out excess fluid and other substances from your
bloodstream. Some fluid gets reabsorbed by your body but most gets expelled as urine. The organs
found in this system are the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
