Organ System Name of Function of the Organs

Organs
Digestive Mouth The digestive process starts in your
system mouth when you chew. Saliva is a
digestive liquid produced by your
salivary glands that helps food
travel more easily through your
esophagus and into your stomach by
moistening it. Saliva also contains
an enzyme that initiates the
digestion of carbohydrates consumed
in the diet.
Esophagus The major function of the esophagus
is to convey food and liquid from
the mouth to the stomach. When you
swallow, food and liquids travel
from your lips to your throat first
(pharynx).
Stomach The stomach's purpose is to break
down food and transport it to the
small intestine. It serves three
purposes: it can temporarily store
food. To combine and break down
food, contract and relax.
Small The small intestine is divided into
Intestine three sections: the duodenum,
jejunum, and ileum. It assists in
the stomach's digestion of food. It
takes nutrients (vitamins, minerals,
carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins)
from food so that the body can use
them. The tiny intestine is part of
the digestive system.
Large The large intestine includes the
Intestine colon, rectum, and anus. It's all
one continuous tube that continues
from the small intestine as food
nears the end of its journey through
your digestive system. The big
intestine turns food waste into
feces and excretes it when you
defecate.
Liver The liver has many roles in the
digestive system, but its principal
purpose is to process nutrients from
the small intestine. The liver's
bile, which is discharged into the
small intestine, assists fat and
vitamin digestion. The liver is your
body's chemical "factory."
Gallbladder The primary purpose of the
gallbladder is to store bile. Bile
is a substance that aids in the
digestion of lipids. Bile is made up
of cholesterol, bilirubin, and bile
salts, among other things.
Pancreas The pancreas generates enzymes,
which are pancreatic secretions,
during digestion. These enzymes
break down sugars, lipids, and
carbs. Additionally, your pancreas
generates hormones that help
digestion. Chemical messengers
circulate throughout your body.
Anus The anus is bordered by sphincter
muscles that help regulate feces.
The pelvic floor muscle makes an
angle between the rectum and the
anus, which prevents feces from
coming out when it should not.
Rectum The rectum is an 8-inch long
straight chamber that joins the
colon and the anus. The rectum's
role is to collect feces from the
colon, alert you that stool has to
 be evacuated (pooped out), and keep
the stool until it is evacuated.

Organ System Name of Organs Function of the Organs

Respiratory system Lungs The primary function of
the lungs is to take in air
from the atmosphere and
transport oxygen into the
bloodstream. It then
circulates throughout the
rest of the body.
Pharynx The pharynx, or throat, is a
portion of the respiratory
and digestive systems. It
transports air, food, and
liquids from the nose and
mouth to the stomach.
Sore throats and tonsillitis
are typical disorders that
affect the pharynx.
Larynx The larynx is a respiratory
system component. It's a
hollow tube that links your
pharynx (neck) to your
trachea (lungs). Because it
holds your vocal chords
and is required for human
speech, it is also known as
the voice box.
Trachea The major function of the
trachea is to transport air
into and out of the lungs. It
provides a reliable channel
for oxygen to enter your
body because it is a rigid,
flexible tube.
 Bronchi The bronchi are the tubes
that transport air to and
from your lungs. The
bronchi also serve to keep
the air wet and filter out
unwanted particles.
Mucus-producing cells
coat the inside of your
airways.
Bronchioles Air enters your lungs
through the bronchi.
Bronchioles deliver air to
little sacs in your lungs
called alveoli at the end of
the bronchi. The alveoli
are responsible for gas
exchange in the body.
Nasal Cavity The nasal cavity's function
is to humidify the air.
and warm the air being
inhaled
Before air reaches the
lower levels,
The nasal cavity closes off
the airways.
airborne particles and
other contaminants
when it passes through
debris

Organ System Name of Organs Function of the Organs

Urinary System Kidneys Kidneys help your body

eliminate waste and
excess fluid. Your kidneys
also filter out acid created
by your body's cells and
 keep a healthy balance of
water, salts, and minerals
in your blood, such as
sodium, calcium,
phosphorus, and
potassium.

Bladder The bladder is hollow,

triangle-shaped organ is
found in the lower
abdomen. Ligaments
linked to other organs and
the pelvic bones help keep
it in place. To hold pee,
the bladder's walls relax
and expand, then constrict
and flatten to empty urine
through the urethra.

Urethra The tube that allows urine

to escape the body is
known as the urethra. The
bladder muscles contract
as the brain orders,
forcing pee out of the
bladder. The brain also
tells the sphincter muscles
to relax, allowing urine to
pass through the urethra
and out of the bladder.

Ureters The ureters are the tiny

tubes that carry urine from
the kidneys to the bladder.
The muscles that line the
ureter walls regularly
tighten and relax, pushing
urine downwards and
away from the kidneys. If
urine backs up or remains
stagnant, a kidney
infection may develop.

PART 2. Interaction of one organ system to another organ system.

The Interaction of the Respiratory System to the Digestive System

The respiratory and digestive systems work together to keep the body going. A
healthy respiratory system ensures that enough oxygen is delivered to the blood.
Because it breaks down food and uses muscle contractions to carry it down the
digestive tract, the digestive system requires oxygen to function properly. As a result,
the respiratory system is reliant on a functioning digestive system for the fuel it
requires to function properly. Each physiological function is reliant on the actions of
others, and all body components require fuel and oxygen to function properly.

The Interaction of the Digestive System to the Urinary System

Human system requires energy, which comes from the food and fluids we eat. The
digestive system permits the body to digest complex foods that must be broken down
into simpler forms before being used by the body's cells. The stomach system, along
with the urine system, must eliminate waste. The urinary system is also in charge of
ensuring that body fluids, such as blood, have the right composition and volume.

The Interaction of the Respiratory System to the Urinary System

While the urinary system plays a significant part in excretion, other organs also play a
role. Some waste products, such as carbon dioxide and water, are excreted by the
lungs in the respiratory system. The sweat glands in the skin are another excretory
organ that remove waste from the body.

The respiratory and urinary systems have some tasks that overlap with the renal
system. The bloodstream is filtered of metabolic wastes and excess ions, which are
combined with water and expelled as urine. To maintain equilibrium, a complex
network of hormones regulates the renal system.
