Endocrine System

Main functions:

2. Gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) via

the bloodstream

How do they work together?

Main functions:
1. Movement of human
2. Pump blood through body (heart
muscle)
3. Move substances through the
body via contraction

-Lungs rid of carbon dioxide waste

produced by working muscles

Nervous System

-As muscles use up oxygen, carbon

dioxide is produced as a waste
product. The blood transports this
waste to the lungs for disposal
(exhalation).

Circulatory System

2.

1. Delivers oxygen to the body

3.

Main functions:

-Muscles require oxygen for work

and the blood serves the purpose
of transporting that blood to the
working muscles.

- The diaphragm muscle contracts

and relaxes allowing for inhalation
and exhalation

3. Phonation: Air vibrates vocal cords allowing

humans to speak

Main functions:

- The heart is a muscle responsible

for pumping and delivering blood
to the body.

delivered to working muscles

1. Pulmonary ventilation aka breathing (gas

exchange with environment)

2. Removes carbon dioxide from the body

3. Nutrient transport via the blood

Digestive System

Main functions:

1. Nutrient Absorption; converts food to energy

2. Excretion of waste from the body

-Peristalsis (contraction of the

esophagus) moves food down into
the stomach
-Stomach muscles break down
food into smaller particles

3. Absorbs water into the bloodstream

-Contractions of the intestines

move food toward excretion
