Body systems
The body uses different systems to work properly. They are :
Cardiovascular / Circulatory system – It moves our blood around the body. The heart,
blood, blood vessels, arteries and veins are part of the circulatory system.
Digestive system – It turns the food into nutrients. It breaks down and absorbs food, and
removes waste. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine,
rectum, and anus. The liver and the pancreas are also part of it.
Respiratory system – It allows us to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in a process
called breathing. It consists of the trachea, the diaphragm and the lungs.
Muscular system – It helps us to move around. The muscular system consists of about 650
muscles that aid in movement, blood flow and other bodily functions
Skeletal system – It supports our body and protects the organs and tissues. It consists of
206 bones that are connected by tendons, ligaments and cartilage.
Reproductive system – It allows humans to reproduce. The male reproductive system
includes the penis and the testicles (testes), which produce sperm. The female reproductive
system consists of the vagina, the uterus and the ovaries, which produce eggs.
Urinary system – It helps eliminate a waste product called urea from the body. The whole
system includes two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder and the urethra.
Nervous system – It sends messages and signals around our body and it controls it. The
principal parts are our brain, spinal cord, sensory organs and the nerves.
Endocrine system – It regulates various bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth and
sexual function. It consists of eight major glands that secrete hormones into the blood.
Immune system – It protects our body against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. It
includes lymph nodes, the spleen, bone marrow, lymphocytes, the thymus and leukocytes.
Lymphatic system – It helps the body to fight infection. It includes lymph nodes, lymph ducts
and lymph vessels.
Integumentary system – It is the largest organ in the body (the skin). It protects us from the
outside world, and it is our first defense against bacteria, viruses and other pathogen
