ORGANS INVOLVED: skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Its main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
ORGANS INVOLVED: Cardiac Muscle, Hearth Muscle and Skeletal Muscle
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
SKELETAL SYSTEM
ORGANS INVOLVED: Axial Skeleton and Appendicular skeleton
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals. The skeletal system is also called the musculoskeletal system.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
ORGANS INVOLVED: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: The function of the digestive system is digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. The digestive system is divided into two major parts: The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a continuous tube with two openings: the mouth and the anus.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
ORGANS INVOLVED: Nose.
Mouth.
Throat (pharynx)
Voice box (larynx)
Windpipe (trachea)
Large airways (bronchi)
Lungs.
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: Your respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood. Common problems include allergies, diseases or infections.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
ORGANS INVOLVED: the heart, lungs, and arteries, veins, coronary and portal vessels
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide. These roadways travel in one direction only, to keep things going where they should.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
ORGANS INVOLVED: brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body.
FUNCTION OF THE BODY: The nervous system is involved in receiving information about the environment around us (sensation) and generating responses to that information (motor responses). The nervous system can be divided into regions that are responsible for sensation (sensory functions) and for the response (motor functions).
