HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS
What is Human Body Systems?
• A body system is a collection of parts able to work
together to serve a common purpose – growth,
reproduction and survival.
• Each part of a system depends on the other parts
to perform tasks that can’t be achieved by single
parts acting alone.
• The human body is made up of a number of inter-
related systems that work together to maintain a
stable internal environment.
The body’s systems
 CARDIOVASCULAR
SYSTEM

Cardiovascular system
The heart and blood vessels make up this
system. The heart is a pump forcing blood
into a network of blood vessels allowing it to
travel to organs and delivery sites
requiring oxygen gas for respiration nutrients
and the removal of waste substances.
DIGESTIVE
SYSTEM
Digestive system
This system resembles a long
tube with attached
organs. Ingested food is broken
down into
constituent nutrient molecules th
at are then absorbed into the
bloodstream. Indigestible
remains are then egested.
ENDOCRINE
SYSTEM
Endocrine system
Composed of a number of small
organs distributed throughout the
body, the endocrine
system coordinates the metabolic
activity of body cells by interacting
with the nervous
system. Endocrine glands produce
hormones (chemical messengers)
released into the blood and
transported to target sites around
the body.
RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM
Respiratory system

Our bodies are made up of countless cells all requiring oxygen

to carry out the important process of respiration. In this

process cells use oxygen gas and produce carbon dioxide gas

– a waste product that must be removed from the body. The

process of breathing allows these gases to be exchanged

between the blood and lungs.

REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
Reproductive system
The human body has a system of
organs that work together for
the purpose of reproduction. The
biological purpose of this process
is the continuation of life.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system is made up

of a network of specialized cells,

tissues and organs that

coordinate and regulate the

responses of the body to internal

and external stimuli.

SKELETAL SYSTEM

The skeletal system works as a support

structure for your body. It gives the
body its shape, allows movement,
makes blood cells, provides protection
for organs and stores minerals. The
skeletal system is also called the
musculoskeletal system.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
The muscular system is composed of
specialized cells called muscle
fibers. Their predominant function is
contractibility. Muscles, attached to
bones or internal organs and blood
vessels, are responsible for movement.
Nearly all movement in the body is the
result of muscle contraction
