    ASSIGNMENT IN SCIENCE
    (11 Organ System of the Human Body)

    1. Digestive System
    The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract (the large intestine,small
    intestine,stomach,esophagus and anus )plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary
    glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder).In this system, the process of digestion has many stages, the
    first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller
    components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.
    2. Lymphatic System
    The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and a vital part of the immune system,
    comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin, lympha
    meaning "water") directionally towards the heart. Organs: Primary or Central Lymphoid Organs,the
    thymus and the bone marrow,Secondary or Peripheral Lymphoid Organs,Lymph Nodes and the
    Spleen,Tertiary Lymphoid Organs.
    3. Nervous System
    The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to
    and from different parts of its body. Nervous tissue first arose in wormlike organisms about 550 to
    600 million years ago. In vertebrates it consists of two main parts, the central nervous system (CNS)
    and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS
    consists mainly of nerves, which are enclosed bundles of the long fibers or axons, that connect the
    CNS to every other part of the body.
    4. Circulatory System
    The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ
    system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes),
    oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide
    nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain
    homeostasis.Organs: the heart, blood and blood vessel/s
    5. Respiratory System
    The respiratory system (called also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system
    consisting of specific organs and structures used for the process of respiration (including breathing)
    in an organism.Organs: the nasal cavity,oral cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx,
    epiglottis,laryngopharynx,vocal cord,esophagus,trachea,right and left bronchus,pulmonary
    ateries,bionchi,alveoli,lungs,diaphgram.
    6. Integumentary System
    The integumentary system is the organ system that protects the body from various kinds of damage,
    such as loss of water or abrasion from outside. The system comprises the skin and its appendages
    (including hair, scales, feathers, hooves, and nails). The integumentary system has a variety of
    functions; it may serve to waterproof, cushion, and protect the deeper tissues, excrete wastes, and
    regulate temperature, and is the attachment site for sensory receptors to detect pain, sensation,
    pressure, and temperature. In most terrestrial vertebrates with significant exposure to sunlight, the
    integumentary system also provides for vitamin D synthesis.
    7. Endocrine System
    The endocrine system is the collection of glands of an organism that secrete hormones directly into
    the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs. The phenomenon of biochemical
    processes' serving to regulate distant tissues by means of secretions directly into the circulatory
    system is called endocrine signaling. The major endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary
    gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, and adrenal glands. The endocrine
    system is in contrast to the exocrine system, which secretes its hormones to the outside of the body
    using ducts.
    8. Excretory System
    The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from
    the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent
    damage to the body. The dual function of excretory systems is the elimination of the waste products
    of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and
    gaseous state. In humans and other amniotes (mammals, birds and reptiles) most of these
    substances leave the body as urine and to some degree exhalation, mammals also expel them
    through sweating.Organs: kidneys,liverbile,large intestine,skin,eccrine,lungs,ureter,urinary
    bladder,and urethra.
    9. Reproductive System (Male and Female)
    The reproductive system or genital system is a system of sex organs within an organism which work
    together for the purpose of sexual reproduction. Many non-living substances such as fluids,
    hormones, and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system.Unlike most
    organ systems, the sexes of differentiated species often have significant differences. These
    differences allow for a combination of genetic material between two individuals, which allows for
    the possibility of greater genetic fitness of the offspring.Oragns:the testes,scrotum,epididymis,penis
    and the vagina,uterus,cervix,fallopian tubes
    10. Muscular System
    The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It
    permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the
    body.Organs: Cardiac Muscles,Skeletal Muscle and Smooth Muscle
    11. Skeletal System
    The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of around 305 bones at
    birth – this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones have fused together.
    The bone mass in the skeleton reaches maximum density around age 21. The human skeleton can be
    divided into the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton is formed by the
    vertebral column, the rib cage, the skull and other associated bones. The appendicular skeleton,
    which is attached to the axial skeleton, is formed by the shoulder girdle, the pelvic girdle and the
    bones of the upper and lower limbs.
