Forms the external body covering

Protects deeper tissue from injury due to bumps, chemicals, bacteria, and dehydration

Synthesizes vitamin D

1 Integumentary System pain

Location of sensory receptors
pressure

Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood Location of sweat and oil glands, which in turn excretes salt and urea

Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream 7 Lymphatic System Hair, skin, fingernails

Houses white blood cells involved in immunity

complements each other Protects and supports body organs

Provides a framework that the muscles use to cause movement

blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, carbon dioxide, wastes, etc. Blood vessels transport blood

2 Skeletal Systems Blood cells are formed within bones

Primarily a transport system that carries blood containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, and
6 Cardiovascular System Stores minerals
other substances to and from the cells where exchanges are made
Cartilages, joint, bones
Protects body with blood clots, antibodies, and other protein molecules in the blood

Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression

The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs 8 Respiratory System 3 Muscular System Maintains posture and produces heat

Contributes to the acid-base balance of the blood via its carbonic acid/ bicarbonate buffer system
Skeletal muscles
Organ System Overview

Fast-acting control system of the body

4 Nervous System Responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands
Breaks food down into absorbable nutrients that enter the blood for distribution to body cells
9 Digestive System
Consists of brain, sensory receptor, spinal cord, and nerves
Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces

growth
Controls body activities

Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as: reproduction

nutrient use
Eliminates nitrogen-containing wastes from the body 5 Endocrine System Also the control system of the body but acts much slower

Regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood 10 Urinary System
Plays a role in regulating long-term homeostasis
Filters the blood

The male testes produces sperm.

Male
Ducts and glands aid in delivery of viable sperm to the female reproductive tract

The female ovaries produce eggs or ova

Female
Other structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus

The role of this system is tp produce offspring
