SKELETAL SYSTEM

DEFINITION
The skeletal system provides support and
protection for the body’s internal organs and
gives the muscles a point of attachment.
Humans have an endoskeleton, where our
bones lie underneath our skin and muscles. In
other animals, such as insects, there is an
exoskeleton on the outside of the body.

FUNCTION
The first and most apparent function of the skeletal
system is to provide a framework for the body. The
presence of a firm bony skeleton allows the organism
to have a distinctive shape adapted towards a

products are left behind in the
bowel and in the blood. The
urinary system keeps
everything in balance by
removing waste, like urea,
extra salt, extra water and
other things the body does not
need..
MUSCULAR SYSTEM

DEFINITION
The muscular system is a set Of
tissues in the body with the ability to
change shape. Muscle cells connect
together and eventually to elements
of the skeletal system. When the
muscle cells contract, force is created
as the muscles pull against the
skeleton.

FUNCTION
The most obvious function of the muscular
system is movement. Organisms have
adopted a variety of methods to use the
contractile function of the muscular
system to move through the environment.
The most basic movements of fish include
contracting muscles on opposite sides of
the body in succession. This action propels
them through the water.

 DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract
or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of
hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow
organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine,
large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of
the digestive system.

The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum. The jejunum
is in the middle and the ileum is at the end. The large intestine includes the appendix,
cecum, colon, and rectum. The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the
cecum. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. The colon is next. The rectum
is the end of the large intestine.
The endocrine system is a network of glands and organs located throughout the body.
It’s similar to the nervous system in that it plays a vital role in controlling and regulating
many of the body’s functions.

However, while the nervous system uses nerve impulses and neurotransmitters for
communication, the endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones.

hormones it produces.

The reproductive system or genital system is a system of sex organs within an

organism which work together for the purpose of sexual reproduction. Many non-
living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important
accessories to the reproductive system.[1] Unlike most organ systems, the sexes of
differentiated species often have significant differences. These differences allow for a
combination of genetic material between two individuals, which allows for the
possibility of greater genetic fitness of the offspring.[2]
The respiratory system, which includes air passages, pulmonary vessels, the
lungs, and breathing muscles, aids the body in the exchange of gases between
the air and blood, and between the blood and the body’s billions of cells. Most
of the organs of the respiratory system help to distribute air, but only the tiny,
grape-like alveoli and the alveolar ducts are responsible for actual gas
exchange.

The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the blood-vascular, or simply the

circulatory, system. It consists of the heart, which is a muscular pumping
device, and a closed system of vessels called arteries, veins, and capillaries. As
the name implies, blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the
heart around a closed circle or circuit of vessels as it passes again and again
through the various "circulations" of the body.
is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also functions
to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and
regulate body temperature. In order to do these things, the integumentary system
works with all the other systems of your body, each of which The integumentary

consists of the skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Its main function has a
role to play in maintaining the internal conditions that a human body needs to
function properly.

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the
body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function
of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-
fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.
The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are
similar to the veins and capillaries of the circulatory system. The vessels
are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered. The tonsils,
adenoids, spleen and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system.

Nervous system
The picture you have in your mind of the nervous system probably
includes the brain, the nervous tissue contained within the cranium,
and the spinal cord, the extension of nervous tissue within the
vertebral column. That suggests it is made of two organs—and you
may not even think of the spinal cord as an organ—but the nervous
system is a very complex structure. Within the brain, many different
and separate regions are responsible for many different and separate
functions. It is as if the nervous system is composed of many organs
that all look similar and can only be differentiated using tools such as
the microscope or electrophysiology. In comparison, it is easy to see
that the stomach is different than the esophagus or the liver, so you
can imagine the digestive system as a collection of specific organs.
