Organ Systems

Systems are a group of organs that work together
Body systems include the skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, and digestive systems

Skeletal and Muscular Systems

Vertebrate bones form the skeletal system, which provides support and helps with movement
The muscular system works with the skeletal system to enable movement
Muscles work in pairs to move the skeleton, as seen in frogs using their leg muscles to jump

Nervous System

The nervous system is the body's control center, made up of nerve cells
It consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory organs
Sensory organs help animals sense changes in their environment through sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell
Owls have strong eyesight, allowing them to see in the dark

Respiratory System

All animal cells need oxygen
The respiratory system brings oxygen into the blood and removes carbon dioxide waste
Adult salamanders breathe through their skin and lungs, a characteristic of amphibians

Respiratory and Circulatory Systems

The circulatory system carries oxygen, food, and water to the body cells and removes waste
The heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the circulatory system
The respiratory system provides oxygen for the blood, which is then transported by the circulatory system

Excretory System

Cells break down food and chemicals, producing waste
The excretory system removes waste from the body
The liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs/gills are excretory organs

Digestive System

Animals consume food for energy
The digestive system breaks down food into forms usable by the body cells
The digestive system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines

Explore the various organ systems of the body, including the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and respiratory systems. This quiz covers their functions, interactions, and roles in maintaining life. Dive into how these systems work together to support movement, sensation, and respiration.
