The human body is made up of 11 organ

systems that work with one another

(interdependantly). These systems include the
integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular
system, lymphatic system, respiratory system,
digestive system, nervous system, endocrine
system, cardiovascular system, urinary system,
and reproductive systems. We will briefly discuss
the major functions of each organ system below.
 1
Integumentary system– (skin, hair, nails)
forms the external body covering and protects
deeper tissues from injury. It houses cutaneous
receptors, sweat glands, oil glands, and
synthesizes vitamin D.
 2
Skeletal system– (bones, joints) Supports
and protects the body’s organs. It provides a
framework muscles use (movement). Bones also
store minerals and create blood cells.
 3
Muscular system– (skeletal muscles)
maintains posture and produces movement
(locomotion). It produces heat.
 4
Lymphatic system– (red bone marrow,
thymus, lymphatic vessels, thoracic duct, spleen,
lymph nodes) houses white blood cells
(lymphocytes) involved in immunity. It returns
leaked fluid from blood vessels to the blood and
disposes debris within the lymphatic stream.
 5
Respiratory system– (nasal cavity, pharynx,
larynx, trachea, bronchus, lung) removes carbon
dioxide and continually supplies blood with
oxygen. Gaseous exchanges occur in the
respiratory system (lungs).
 6
Digestive system– (oral cavity, esophagus,
liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine,
rectum, anus) breaks down food to be absorbed
and eliminates indigestible waste.
 7
Nervous system– (brain, spinal cord,
nerves) controls system of the body, responds to
internal and external changes, activates muscles
and glands.
 8
Endocrine system– (pineal gland, pituitary
gland, thyroid gland, thymus, adrenal gland,
pancreas, ovary, testis). Glands from the
endocrine system secrete hormones that
regulate many processes like growth,
metabolism, and reproduction.
 9
Cardiovascular system– (heart, blood
vessels). The heart pumps blood and blood
vessels transport it. Blood carries oxygen,
carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste and more
throughout the body.
 10
Urinary system– (kidney, ureter, urinary
bladder, urethra) eliminates nitrogenous wastes
from the body. It regulates acid-base, electrolyte
and WATER balance of blood.
 11
Reproductive systems
• MALE (prostate gland, penis, testis, scrotum, ductus deferens)
• FEMALE (Mammary glands, ovary, uterus, vagina, uterine tube)
• The main function of the reproductive system is to produce
offspring. Sex hormone and sperm are produced by the male
testes. Male ducts and glands help deliver the sperm. Ovaries
produce female sex hormones and eggs. Other female
reproductive structures serve as sites of fertilization and
development. For instance, the mammary glands produce milk
for the newborn.
