Study Notes
###Â Organ Systems
- The human body is organized into systems
- Organ systems consist of multiple organs working together for a common goal
- There are 11 organ systems:
- Circulatory: Responsible for blood supply
- Respiratory: Responsible for breathing
- Digestive: Responsible for digestion and absorption
- Nervous: Responsible for sensation and movement
- Excretory: Responsible for waste elimination
- Endocrine: Responsible for hormonal control
- Reproductive: Responsible for reproduction
- Lymphatic: Responsible for defense
- Skeletal: Responsible for support
- Muscular: Responsible for movement
Human Organs
- There are approximately 79 human organs
- This number is not standardized
- If organs worked independently, the result would be chaos
