- - - - -The White Blood cells- these are are the warriors who fight off invaders or disease in your body
      - -Platelets- create a net over areas that are in contact with lots of air. They create the scabs that plug our wounds and make healing possible
      - -Plasma- This is the fluid in which all of these components flow. It also carries glucose, fats, vitamins, minerals and chemical messengers. Plasma has been know to take out the trash as well
      - -The Red Blood cells- are the delivery drivers that drop off oxygen to each cell in your body
    - - Arteries: Our arteries are much like this, carrying oxygen and sugar to cells so they can function
      - CAPILLARIES- These are the smallest vessels that move substances from the circulatory system and then into or out of the cells
    - - The heart is a non-stop pump for the circulatory system. It pumps the blood day and night so we can survive
    - - Veins: These carry waste products away from active cells and back to the lungs, where they are recycled into new oxygen-carrying blood cells, ready to return to the body to nourish it.
- - - - Involuntary Muscle: Involuntary Muscle movement occurs when the muscle contracts without thinking about it or the movement happens automatically.
      - These three muscles tissues can be divided into two different kind/behaviors: Voluntary and Involuntary
      - Voluntary We use our brain to send signal to these muscles to move.
      - Different Types of Muscle tissue:
        
        Smooth Muscle: Smooth muscle is found on the inside of organs including the stomach and the intestines. Smooth muscles grind, churn and move food through the body. Smooth muscle contractions are involuntary.These contractions help to move food through the digestive system.The contractions also help break up food into smaller pieces.
        
        Skeleton Muscle: Skeleton muscle attaches to the bones in the skeletal system.When the skeletal muscle contracts, it pulls on the bone to move the body. This is a voluntary action. Tendons connect the muscle to the bone.
        
        Cardiac muscle Cardiac muscle is found inside your heart.When the cardiac muscle contracts it is involuntary or automatic. When it contracts, the heart pumps blood through the body. The cardiac muscle contracts once every 70 seconds. Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
      - tendons: our bones move because they are tied to muscles with tendons.
- - - - Small intestine: Breaks down food into even smaller parts using enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. Most nutrients are absorbed here.
      - Esophagus: The stretchy tube that food travels down from the back of the throat to the stomach.
      - Liver: filters blood coming from the digestive tract, the liver produces bile that aids in the digestion of fatty foods.
      - Mouth: the teeth break down the food to pieces. Saliva contains enzymes that begin chemical digestion and the tongue pushes food to the esophagus
      - The stomach: stores food that arrives from the esophagus. Breaks down the food with acid and physical churning. Empties into the small intestine.
      - Gall bladder: Stores bile produced by the liver until it is needed to break down fatty food in the small intestine
      - Pancreas: Secretes enzymes into the small intestine to further break down food
      - Large intestine: Receives waste from the small intestine. It absorbs any remaining water. Transmits waste for elimination.
      - Rectum: Last section of the large intestine before reaching the anus where waste is expelled.
      - Works with circulatory system because once nutrients are broken down into smaller pieces they are carried through the body in the circulatory system
      - Works with Muscular system because nutrients are broken down and are supplied in the circulatory system.
- - - - Thyroid gland- controls metabolism.
      - Parathyroid glands- controls calcium use and helps bone growth in children
      - Hypothalamus- gateway between nervous and endocrine systems
      - Thymus glands- located in the chest and helps produce white blood cells to help fight disease
      - Pituitary glands- main glands which controls growth, sexual development, and water absorption into the kidneys.
      - Adrenal glands- on top of the kidneys that regulate water and salt balances, fights allergies and produce adrenaline.
      - Endocrine glands produce and release their chemical products called hormones into the bloodstream. Examples are Pancreas, Thyroid, Adrenal Glands and Testes and ovaries.
      - Adrenaline makes heart beat faster.
      - Pancreas release insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels, ovaries and testes produce hormones for sexual development.
      - Maintain homeostasis by regulating levels of hormones in blood
- - - - T-cell- often called "natural killer" cells, recognize infected human cells and cancer cells. And will attack these infected cells and search for more to kill
