WHAT ARE THE PLANT AND ANIMAL ORGAN SYSTEM
Organ system
An organ system is a biological system consisting of a
group of organs that work together to perform one or
more functions. Each organ has a specialized role in a
plant or animal body, and is made up of distinct tissues.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Responsible for processing food by ingestion, digestion,
absorption and elimination; maintains a sufficient
amount of nutrients for the body.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Responsible for transporting nutrients and other
materials (such as oxygen, water hormones, waste
materials, salts) between different parts of the body.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Responsible for gas exchange; maintains the amount of
oxygen and removes the carbon dioxide in the blood;
regulates the blood pH along with the kidneys.
Responsible for supporting and aiding the movement of
the body, protecting the internal organs, and
maintaining the calcium level.
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Responsible for protecting the body from mechanical
injuries and infections of pathogens, preventing
dehydration, and regulating the body’s temperature
through sweat glands and blood vessels found in the
skin.
IMMUNE & LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Act as the primary defense against different pathogens.
The lymphatic system is also responsible for the
collection of tissue fluid and its transport to the blood
and the absorption of lipids molecules from the
digestive system.
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Responsible for producing and storing gametes,
fertilization and fatal development

EXCRETORY SYSTEM
Responsible for excreting metabolic wastes and siding
in the regulation of the osmotic balance of blood and
other body fluids.

ENDOCTRINE SYSTEM
Responsible for regulating and coordinating the body’s
metabolic activities and other physiological processes.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
Acts as the primary regulatory system and is responsible
for processing information through the reception of
external and internal stimuli , conduction of impulses,
integration of the information, and transmission of
commands for the body to execute the response.

MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Allows for the movement of the body’s organs such as
the skeleton, heart, blood vessels, digestive tract, etc.
