Human Organ Systems

Organ Systems

Our bodies have many organ systems that work together. In the next couple of weeks, we will look at the circulatory system, the digestive system, the muscular system, the skeletal system and the nervous system. We will now look at the names of the organ systems, the descriptions and diagrams which will show us how the certain organ systems look like and where it is located in the body.

The Digestive System
Are organs that take in food and turn it into products that the body uses to survive and stay healthy. Waste products that the body cannot use leave the body through bowel movements. The digestive system includes the salivary glands, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small and large intestines and the rectum.

The Circulatory System
The body system consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood that delivers nutrients and other essential materials to cells an removes waste products (also called the cardiovascular system).

 

The Musculoskeletal System

The human system that gives us the ability to move. It consists of the muscular system and the human skeleton.

 

The Nervous System

Vast network of neurons and specialized tissues that regulates actions and responses.

With all of these systems working together, our bodies keep us moving.
