    This document summarizes the main roles of the major human body systems: the respiratory system exchanges gases, the nervous system relays electrical signals, the digestive system breaks down nutrients, the circulatory system transports materials, the muscular system provides movement, the skeletal system provides structure and protection, the excretory system filters wastes, the endocrine system relays chemical messages, and the reproductive system manufactures cells for reproduction.

    Respiratory System - The main role of the respiratory system is to

    provide gas exchange between the blood and the environment. Primarily,
    oxygen is absorbed from the atmosphere into the body and carbon dioxide is
    expelled from the body.

    Nervous System - The main role of the nervous system is to relay


    electrical signals through the body. The nervous system directs behavior and
    movement and, along with the endocrine system, controls physiological
    processes such as digestion, circulation, etc.

    Digestive System - The main role of the digestive system is to


    breakdown and absorbs nutrients that are necessary for growth and
    maintenance.

    Circulatory System - The main role of the circulatory system is to


    transport nutrients, gases (such as oxygen and CO2), hormones and wastes
    through the body.

    Muscular System - The main role of the muscular system is to


    provide movement. Muscles work in pairs to move limbs and provide the
    organism with mobility. Muscles also control the movement of materials
    through some organs, such as the stomach and intestine, and the heart and
    circulatory system.

    Skeletal System - The main role of the skeletal system is to provide


    support for the body, to protect delicate internal organs and to provide
    attachment sites for the organs.

    Excretory System- The main role of the excretory system is to filter


    out cellular wastes, toxins and excess water or nutrients from the circulatory
    system.

    Endocrine System - The main role of the endocrine system is to relay


    chemical messages through the body. In conjunction with the nervous
    system, these chemical messages help control physiological processes such
    as nutrient absorption, growth, etc.
    Reproductive System - The main role of the reproductive system is
    to manufacture cells that allow reproduction. In the male, sperm are created
    to inseminate egg cells produced in the female.
