  1. The Human Body:An Orientation-Overview of Organ Systems

  2. Organ System Overview • Integumentary • Forms the external body covering • Protects deeper tissue from injury • Synthesizes vitamin D • Location of cutaneous nerve receptors

  3. Organ System Overview • Skeletal • Protects and supports body organs • Provides muscle attachment for movement • Site of blood cell formation • Stores minerals

  4. Organ System Overview • Muscular • Allows locomotion • Maintains posture • Produces heat

  5. Organ System Overview • Nervous • Fast-acting control system • Responds to internal and external change • Activates muscles and glands

  6. Organ System Overview • Endocrine • Secretes regulatory hormones • Growth • Reproduction • Metabolism

  7. Organ System Overview • Cardiovascular • Transports materials in body via blood pumped by heart • Oxygen • Carbon dioxide • Nutrients • Wastes

  8. Organ System Overview • Lymphatic • Returns fluids to blood vessels • Disposes of debris • Involved in immunity

  9. Organ System Overview • Respiratory • Keeps blood supplied with oxygen • Removes carbon dioxide

  10. Organ System Overview • Digestive • Breaks down food • Allows for nutrient absorption into blood • Eliminates indigestible material

  11. Organ System Overview • Urinary • Eliminates nitrogenous wastes • Maintains acid – base balance • Regulation of materials • Water • Electrolytes

  12. Organ System Overview • Reproductive • Production of offspring
