Carries needed material to and waste away from the body

Takes in food, breaks it down, & absorbs nutrients
Controls many regulatory processes by means of
chemicals (hormones)
Removes body wastes
Fights diseases
Enables the body to move (voluntary & involuntary
motion)
Detects and interprets information from the environment
outside the body and within the body
Produces sex cells & controls male & female
characteristics, reproduction
Brings in the oxygen that is carried by the RBC &
carries the CO2 (waste gas) out of the body.
Supports the body, protects it and works with muscles to
allow movement
Protects the body

 What is an organ?
An organ is a structure that is composed of
different kinds of tissue that performs a
specific job
What is an organ system?
How many organ systems are in the human
body?
eleven organ systems

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM

FUNCTION:
Protects the body

PARTS:
skin, nails, and hair

Skeletal System

FUNCTION:
Supports the body, protects it and works
with muscles to allow movement

PARTS:
bones

Muscular System

FUNCTION:
Enables the body to move (voluntary &
involuntary motion)
PARTS:
muscles

Digestive System

FUNCTION:
breaks down food into molecules that the
body can use to absorb into blood & carry
throughout the body, also wastes are
eliminated from the body
PARTS:
Mouth, epiglottis, salivary gland,
esophagus, liver, gallbladder, stomach,
pancreas, small intestine, large intestine,
rectum

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

FUNCTION:
Produces sex cells & controls male &
female characteristics, reproduction
PARTS:
female- ovaries, fallopian tube, uterus,
cervix, vagina
male testes, penis, scrotum, vas
deferens, prostate gland

EXCRETORY SYSTEM

FUNCTION:
Removes body wastes

PARTS:
kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder,
urethra, lungs, large intestines, skin

Respiratory System

FUNCTION:
Brings in the oxygen that is carried by
the RBC & carries the CO2 (waste gas)
out of the body.
PARTS:
nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi,
lungs, bronchi rami, bronchioles, alveoli

Circulatory System

PARTS :
heart, blood vessels (arteries,
capillaries, veins) , & blood

FUNCTION:
carries needed substances to cells and
carries waste products away from cells

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

FUNCTION:
controls many of the bodys daily
activities as well as long-term changes
such as development
GLANDS:
Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid
gland, parathyroid gland, thymus,
adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries/testes

IMMUNE SYSTEM

FUNCTION:
Fights diseases

PARTS:
skin and mucous membrane, WBC,
Immunity(antibodies, vaccines)

NERVOUS SYSTEM

FUNCTION:
Detects and interprets information from
the environment outside the body and
within the body
PARTS:
brain, spinal cord, nerves/neurons
