  1. SUMMARY OF ORGAN SYSTEMS

  2. Skeletal • Major Organs: Bones • Function: Provides structure; supports and protects internal organs • Connections to other Systems: Muscular System, Nervous System, Circulatory System

  3. Muscular • Major Organs: Muscles (skeletal, cardiac, and smooth) • Function: Provides structure; supports and moves trunk and limbs • Connection to other Systems: Skeletal System, Circulatory System, & Nervous System.

  4. Circulatory/Cardiovascular • Major Organs: Heart, blood vessels, blood • Function: Transport nutrients and wastes to and from all body tissues • Connection to other Systems: ALL other body systems!

  5. Circulatory/Cardiovascular • Path of Blood: • Heart to the body to the heart to lungs

  6. Respiratory • Major Organs: Air passages, lungs • Function: Carries air into and out of lungs, where gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) • Connection to other Systems: ALL because it supplies the body with oxygen and takes out carbon dioxide

  7. Respiratory • Exchange of Gases: • Oxygen (O2)IN • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) OUT

  8. Immune • Major Organs: Lymph nodes and vessels, white blood cells • Function: Provides protection against infection and disease • Connection to other Systems: Circulatory System, Digestive System, Urinary/Excretory System & Nervous System.

  9. Digestive • Major Organs: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, small and large intestines • Function: Stores and digests food; absorbs nutrients; eliminates wastes • Connection to other Systems: Circulatory System, Excretory System & Nervous System.

  10. Digestive • Path of Food: • MOUTH • ESOUAGHUS • STOMACH • SMALL INTESTINE • LARGER INTESTINE • ANUS

  11. Urinary/Excretory • Major Organs: Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, skin, lungs • Function: Eliminates waste; maintains water and chemical balance

  12. Nervous • Major Organs: Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs, receptors • Function: Controls and coordinates body movements and senses; controls consciousness and creativity; helps monitor and maintain other body systems • Connection to other Systems: ALL other body systems because it send electrical signals which control their functions.

  13. Endocrine • Major Organs: Glands (such as adrenal, thyroid, and pancreas), hypothalamus • Function: Maintains homeostasis; regulates metabolism, water and mineral balance, growth and sexual development, and reproduction Connection to other Systems: ALL other body systems because it supplies the hormones that help them function.

  14. Reproductive • Major Organs: Ovaries, uterus, mammaryglands (females), testes (males) • Function: Produces offspring • Connection to other Systems: Nervous System, Circulatory System, & Endocrine System,
