A physical organism, usually human or animal, is referred to as a body.

Our bodies are made up of 11

basic organ systems that control all of our body's vital processes.

The 11 organ system includes the Integumentary system which transmits the senses of touch, pain, and
pleasure and maintains body temperature by secreting sweat. The skeletal system supports and protects
the body’s internal organs. The muscular system is made up of 3 parts: a. Cardiac muscles are found in
the heart and power the actions that maintain blood flow through our body; b. Smooth, or involuntary
muscles are found in the heart and organs, they surround the internal organs and are responsible for
their movement such as moving food through the digestive tract; and c. Skeletal, or voluntary muscles,
are responsible for carrying out the actions and movements caused by messages sent from our brains
through our nervous system. Next is the lymphatic system which transports clean fluids in our body back
to the blood and drains excess fluids and debris from the tissues and cells of the body. The respiratory
system maintains our breathing. It supplies the body with oxygen for cellular respiration by collecting
oxygen in the lungs and disposes of carbon dioxide by breathing out the waste product. The digestive
system is responsible for identifying which minerals, vitamins, and other essentials from the foods we
eat can be absorbed and utilized or stored by the body and which are to be disposed of, and carrying out
those functions. The neurological system controls all of the other systems of the body, such as digestion
and cardiac rhythm, and responds to internal and external changes, such as activating muscles and
breathing. It also transmits information to the brain, such as pain and external sensations. The glands of
the endocrine system secrete chemicals called hormones that regulate most of the processes in our
bodies such as growth, reproduction, metabolism, and even the control of the amount of glucose in our
blood. The heart made of cardiac muscle, pumps blood and blood vessels such as arteries and veins,
transport the blood to every part of our body providing organs and muscles with nourishment is part of
the cardiovascular system. The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste products of
metabolism and other materials from the body that are of no use. And lastly is the reproductive system
mainly functions to create human life. Ovaries produce female sex hormones and eggs. Eggs are
fertilized in the fallopian tube by sperm then travel to the uterus, which provides the site for growth.

Despite their interdependence, these systems can get out of sync. When one of them isn't working
properly, the others will try to fix the situation. All of the systems will work together to achieve
homeostasis, or a state of equilibrium inside the body.
A physical organism, usually human or animal, is referred to as a body. Our body is made up of 11 basic

talks about how well our body works and how it responds not only individually, but as a whole. It is
necessary to study the Anatomy and Physiology for it provides basic knowledge about the human body.
It aids in the clarification of essential concepts about how well our bodies work. Anatomy and physiology
classes allow students to study not only academic principles but also practical functioning of the human
body. Knowing the relationship of each organ systems will help us understand more about its functions
and its contribution as a whole. Learning more about the 11 basic organ systems that control all of our
body's vital processes is a must. The 11 organ systems are the integumentary system, skeletal system,
muscular system, lymphatic system, respiratory system, digestive system, neurological system,
endocrine system cardiovascular system, urinary system, and lastly, the reproductive system. Despite
their interdependence, these systems can get out of sync. When one of them isn't working properly, the
others will try to fix the situation. All of the systems will work together to achieve homeostasis, or a
state of equilibrium inside the body. I would like to thank you most especially for taking the time in
reading all the important things written here and I am hoping for another knowledgeable interaction
with you soon.
