Circulatory System

The circulatory system transports nutrients and gases throughout the body via blood circulation. It consists of the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems. The cardiovascular system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules to provide energy, using digestive juices, enzymes, and primary organs like the mouth, stomach, and intestines. The endocrine system regulates vital processes through hormone secretion from glands like the pituitary, thyroid, and ovaries. The integumentary system protects the body and prevents dehydration using skin, nails, hair and sweat glands. The muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary systems all have specific functions in

Circulatory System-

The main function of the circulatory system is to transport nutrients and gasses to cells and
tissues throughout body. This is accomplished by the circulation of blood. Two components of
this system are the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems.

 Cardiovascular: This system is comprised of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The
beating of the heart drives the cardiac cycle which pumps blood throughout body.

2. Digestive System=

The digestive system breaks down food polymers into smaller molecules to provide energy for
the body. Digestive juices and enzymes are secreted to break down the carbohydrates, fat, and
protein in food.

 Primary organs: mouth, stomach, intestines, rectum


 
 Accessory organs: teeth, tongue, liver, pancreas

3. Endocrine System=

The endocrine system regulates vital processes in the body including growth, homeostasis,
metabolism, and sexual development. Endocrine organs secrete hormones to regulate body
processes.

 Endocrine structures: pituitary gland, pineal gland, thymus, ovaries, testes, thyroid
gland

4. Integumentary System=

The integumentary system protects the internal structures of the body from damage, prevents
dehydration, stores fat and produces vitamines and hormones.

 Integumentary structures: skin, nails, hair, sweat glands

5. Muscular System---

The muscular system enables movement through the contraction of muscles.

 Structures: muscles

6. Nervous System=

The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in
the external environment.
 Structures: brain, spinal cord, nerves

7. Reproductive System=

The reproductive system enables the production of offspring through sexual reproduction. It is
comprised of male and female reproductive organs and structures which produce sex cells and
ensure the growth and development of offspring.

 Male organs: testes, scrotum, penis, vas deferens, prostate


 
 Female organs: ovaries, uterus, vagina, mammary glands

8. Respiratory System=

The respiratory system provides the body with oxygen via gas exchange between air from the
outside environment and gases in the blood.

 Respiratory organs: lungs, nose, trachea, bronchi

9. Skeletal System----

The skeletal System: This system supports and protects the body while giving it shape and form.

 Structures: bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage

10. Urinary/Excretory System

The urinary/excretory System removes wastes and maintains water balance in the body.
