Organ Systems and Their Functions
-
Circulatory System:
- Responsible for transporting essential substances like nutrients, waste products, hormones, and gases throughout the body.
-
Digestive System:
- Extracts and absorbs nutrients from food, eliminates waste, and maintains water and chemical balance for optimal health.
-
Endocrine System:
- Regulates vital functions including body temperature, metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and coordinating other organ systems.
-
Urinary System/Excretory:
- Eliminates wastes from the bloodstream and regulates the concentration of body fluids, contributing to overall fluid balance.
-
Lymphatic System:
- Acts as a defense mechanism against pathogens and diseases, supporting immune functions.
-
Integumentary System:
- Provides a protective barrier against injury and infection, preventing fluid loss and assisting in temperature regulation.
-
Muscular System:
- Facilitates movement of limbs and trunk, transports substances within the body, while providing structural support.
-
Nervous System:
- Regulates behavior, maintains homeostasis, controls sensory input and motor functions, and coordinates the actions of other organ systems.
-
Reproductive System:
- Responsible for the production of gametes (sperm and eggs) and the development of offspring, ensuring species continuation.
-
Respiratory System:
- Engages in the exchange of gases, moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide removal.
-
Skeletal System:
- Provides protection and support to the body and organs, enables movement through muscle interaction, and is involved in producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
