Study Notes

The Human Body Systems

Digestive System

Takes in food through ingestion
Digests food into smaller molecules and absorbs nutrients
Removes undigestable food from the body as feces
Works with:
- Circulatory system to absorb and deliver nutrients to cells
- Muscular system to control contractions of digestive organs
- Nervous system to maintain homeostasis and trigger appetite

Circulatory System

Transports materials to and from cells
Works with:
- Respiratory system to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide
- Excretory system to filter waste out of blood
- Integumentary system to remove excretory waste
- Muscular system to control pumping of blood

Excretory System

Removes waste products from cellular metabolism
Filters blood and removes waste
Works with:
- Lungs to remove excretory waste
- Integumentary system to remove excretory waste
- Circulatory system to filter waste out of blood
- Muscular system to control contractions of excretory organs

Respiratory System

Takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide and water
Works with:
- Circulatory system to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide
- Excretory system to remove waste
- Nervous system to control breathing
- Muscular system to control diaphragm contractions

Skeletal System

Protects organs
Provides shape and support
Stores materials (fats, minerals)
Produces blood cells
Allows movement
Works with:
- Muscular system to allow movement
- Circulatory system to produce blood cells
- Immune system to produce white blood cells

Muscular System

Allows movement by contracting
Works with:
- Skeletal system to allow movement
- Digestive system to control contractions of digestive organs
- Respiratory system to control diaphragm contractions
- Circulatory system to control pumping of blood
- Nervous system to control muscle contractions

Endocrine System

Regulates body activities using hormones
Works with:
- Circulatory system to transport hormones to target organs
- Nervous system to maintain homeostasis and control hormone release
- Reproductive system to control hormone production

Immune System

Fights off foreign invaders in the body
Works with:
- Circulatory system to transport white blood cells to fight invaders
- Lymphatic system to hold white blood cells to fight pathogens
- Skeletal system to produce white blood cells in bone marrow
- Integumentary system to prevent invaders from entering the body

Integumentary System

Protects against infection and regulates body temperature
Removes excretory waste
Works with:
- Excretory system to remove waste
- Nervous system to control body temperature
- Immune system to prevent invaders from entering the body

Lymphatic System

Stores and carries white blood cells to fight disease
Collects excess fluid and returns it to blood
Works with:
- Immune system to hold white blood cells to fight pathogens
- Circulatory system to transport materials to and from cells

Reproductive System

Allows organisms to reproduce
Works with:
- Endocrine system to control hormone production
- Muscular system to control contractions of reproductive organs
