What organ system is this?
Organs: heart, blood vessels
Cardiovascular system
Transports nutrients, chemical messengers, gases, and wastes in blood.
Cardiovascular System
Breaks down food into units that can be absorbed into the body and eliminates solid waste.
Digestive System
Removes nitrogenous wastes; maintains body fluid volume, ph, and electrolyte levels through urine production.
Urinary System
Provides a protective barrier for the body, aids in production of vitamin D, and contains sensory receptors for pain, touch, and temperature.
Integumentary System
Returns fluid to cardiovascular system; detects, filters, and eliminates disease-causing organisms, including cancer cells.
Lymphatic and Immune System
Protects major organs; provides levers and support for body movement.
Skeletal System
Returns fluid to cardiovascular system; detects, filters, and eliminates disease-causing organisms, including cancer cells.
Lymphatic and Immune
Protects major organs; provides levers and support for body movement.
Skeletal
Produces gametes; female uterus provides environment for development of fetus.
Reproductive System
The 11 organ systems.
Cardiovascular, respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Integumentary, Lymphatic & Immune, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, and Reproductive
Maintenance of the organ systems at an optimal environment, within limits.
