{Skeletal system}
-Major organs-
bones,cartilage, tendons and ligaments.
the main role of the —- is to provide movement.– work in pair to’ move limbs and provide the organism with mobility. – also control the control the movement of materials though some organs,such as the stomach and intestine, and the heart and circulatory system.
{Muscular system}
-major organs-
skeletal muscles and smooth muscles throughout the body
the main role of the – is to transport nutrients, gases(such as oxygen and CO2), hormones and wastes though the body.
{Circulatory system}
-Major system-
heart,blood vessels and blood.
the main role of the –is to breakdown and absorb nutrients that are necessary for growth and maintenance
{Digestive system}
-major organ-
mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines
the main role of the – is to relay electrical signals through the body . the – directs behavior and movement and , along with the endocrine system, control physiological processes such as digestion,circulation,ect.
{Nervous system}
-major organs-
brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves
they main role of the – is to provide gas exchanges between the blood and the environment. Primarily, oxygen is absorbed from the atmosphere into the body and carbon dioxide is expelled from the body
{Respiratory system}
-major organ-
nose,trachea and lungs.
the main role of the – is to filter out cellular wastes, toxins and excess water or nutrients from the circulatory system
{Excretory}
-major organ-
Kidneys , ureters, bladder and urethra
the main role of the– is to relay chemical messengers through the body . in conjunction with the – these chemical massages help control physiological process such as nutrient absorption, growth ect.
{Endocrine system}
-major organ-
many glands exist in the body that secrete endocrine hormones. Among these are the hypothalamus, pituitary,thyroid,pancreas and adrenal glands.
the main role of the – is to manufacture cells that allow reproduction. In the male, sperm are created to inseminate egg cells produced in the female
{Reproductive system}
-major organ-
Female (top): ovaries, oviducts, uterus, vagina and mammary gland.
Male (bottom): testes,seminal vesicles and penis.
the main role of the – is to destroy and remove invading microbes and viruses from the body. the –also remove fat and excess fluids from the body.
{Lymphatic/Immune}
-major organ-
Lymph,lymph nodes and vessels, white blood cells,T-and B-cell
is main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from outside world.
{ Integumentary }
