What are the11 Body Organ Systems?
The circulatory (cardiovascular) system
The lymphatic system
The respiratory system
The integumentary system
The endocrine system
The gastrointestinal (digestive) system
The urinary (excretory) system
The musculoskeletal system
The nervous system
The reproductive system
The immune system
The … system transports oxygen and nutrients to all corners of the body. It also carries away carbon dioxide and other waste products.
In order for blood to make it everywhere it needs to go, the … system maintains the blood flow within a certain pressure range.
Blood pressure that’s too high puts extra stress on other organs and tissues. Low blood pressure means the blood—and its nutrients—won’t make it to where it needs to go.
circulatory system
Circulatory System includes …
Heart
Blood vessels (arteries and veins)
The blood itself
The … system is the drainage system of the body. It plays an important role in your immunity, blood pressure regulation, digestion, and other functions.
This organ system carries excess fluid, proteins, fats, bacteria, and other substances away from the cells and spaces between cells.
The … vessels move the fluid into collecting ducts, which return the fluid to your bloodstream.
The … system also helps create and circulate vital cells that fight disease, which is why it is also a part of the immune system. This includes lymphocytes and monocytes (white blood cells) and antibodies (proteins that recognize bacteria and viruses).
lymphatic system
The lymphatic system includes …
Lymph vessels
Lymph nodes
Lymph ducts
Various glands
The … system is responsible for breathing, which is the controlled movement of air in and out of the body (ventilation). It also moves oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the bloodstream (respiration).
One of the least understood responsibilities of the … system is to help regulate the body’s pH balance, or the body’s balance of acids and bases.
Carbon dioxide is made into carbonic acid, which affects the pH balance. The … system regulates this pH level when it releases carbon dioxide from the body.3 Breathing issues may indicate a condition that affects the body’s acidity
respiratory system
The respiratory system includes …
Lungs
Trachea (windpipe)
Airways of the respiratory tree
