organ system.
 Cardiovascular System
Primary Function:
Supplies oxygen-rich blood to the body and removes

carbon dioxide waste from the bloodstream to prevent

toxic accumulation. Transports nutrients and hormones

throughout the body.

Key organs: Heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and

capillaries), and blood.

 Digestive System
Primary Function:
Breaks down food into usable components for the body’s

cells and eliminates toxic waste from the body.

Key organs: Mouth, teeth, tongue, esophagus, stomach,

pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and large

intestine (cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal).

 Endocrine System
Primary Function:
Primary Function:
Produces and secretes hormones that regulate various

metabolic functions.
Key organs: Pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland,

parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes, and

ovaries.
 Integumentary System
Primary Fnction:
Primary Function:
Protection against external damage and infection,

regulation of body temperature, and sensory reception.

Key organs: Skin, hair, nails, sebaceous and sweat

glands.
 Primary Function:
Filters out lymph fluid to maintain proper fluid balance and

helps maintain the body's immune function.

Key organs: Spleen, thymus, tonsils, lymph nodes,

lymphatic vessels, and bone marrow.

 Nervous System
Primary Function:
Controls and regulates conscious and unconscious functioning
of the body. Sends and receives signals throughout the body to
allow sensing of and interaction with the environment.

Key organs: Brain, spinal cord, ganglia, nerves, and

Key organs: Brain, spinal cord, ganglia, nerves, and sensory
sensory organs.
 Muscular System
Primary Function:
Provides voluntary and involuntary movement of body parts and
organs.

Key organs: Skeletal muscle and tendons, smooth muscle, and

K
cardiac muscle.
 Primary Function:
The reproductive system is responsible for sexual

functioning and reproduction. It produces and transports

gametes and develops offspring. It also produces sex

hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.

Key organs: Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina,

testes, ductus (vas) deferens, urethra, penis, and prostate.

 Respiratory System
Primary Function:
Absorbs oxygen from the air and removes carbon dioxide

from the body.

Key organs: Mouth, nose, sinuses, pharynx, cilia, trachea,

larynx, diaphragm, lungs, bronchi, alveoli.

 Skeletal System
P
Primary Function:
Physically supports and protects the body and enables

movement.

Key organs: Bones, cartilage, and ligaments.

 Urinary System
Primary Function:
Filters waste products from the blood and forms urine,

which can then be excreted by the body.

Key organs: Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
