Human Body
Levels of Organs
Cell function: provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions
tissue function: give shape and structure to organs
organ function: depends on the integrated activity of its organs
organ 2 function: give shape and structure to organs
organ system function: depends on the integrated activity of its organs
Organism function: growth, movement, reproduction, respiration, nutrition and excretion
Muscular System
System work with
skeletal system
Parts
bones function: provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs
Muscles function: allow a person to move, speak, and chew
Tendons function: to move the bone or structure
cardiovascular system
systems interact with
respiratory system
Parts
capillaries Function: transport blood, nutrients and oxygen to cells in your organs and body systems
heart function: pumping blood around your body as your heart beats
veins function: collect oxygen-poor blood throughout your body and carry it back to your heart
Arteries function: distribute oxygen-rich blood to your body
Skeletal system
System interact with
circulatory
Parts
Cartilage Function: resist compressive forces, enhance bone resilience, and provide support on bony areas where there is a need for flexibility.
Ligaments Function: hold structures together and keep them stable.
Bones Function: provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs
Urinary system
system interact with
Excretory system
parts
Kidneys Function: cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine
Ureters Function: carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder
bladder Function: stores urine.
urine Function: to filter blood and create urine as a waste by-product
urethra Function: empties urine from the bladder.
Endocrine system
systems interact with
Reproductive system, nervous system
parts
pancreas function: helps your digestive system by making hormones
Thyroid function: support the rate at which the body uses fats and carbohydrates.
adrenal glands function: produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions
testes function: making sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone.
ovaries function: breast development, body shape, and body hair
Circulatory System
Parts
Blood vessels function: transport nutrients to organs/tissues and to transport wastes away from organs/tissues in the blood
Blood function: brings oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body so they can keep working
heart function: pumping blood around your body as your heart beats
System interact with
All systems
Respiratory system
Systems interact with
skeletal, circulatory, and muscular systems
parts
Nasal cavity Function: filter and warm the air, and make it moist before it goes into the lungs
pharynx Function:carries air, food and fluid down from the nose and mouth
Epiglottis Function: prevents food and drink from entering the windpipe
larynx Function: protect the lower respiratory tract from aspirating food into the trachea while breathing.
trachea Function: carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs
bronchi Function: carry air to and from your lungs
bronchitis Function: cause coughing, often with mucus production
alveolar Function: where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.
lungs Function: allow us to breathe
diaphragm Function: Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges. This contraction creates a vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs.
Nervous System
Systems interact with
All systems
Parts
Brain function: controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body
Spinal cord function: the pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and from the body to the brain
Nerves function: carry electrical impulses between your brain and the rest of your body
Reproductive system
Parts
Man
testes function: making sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone.
scrotum function: holds and helps to protect the testicles
penis function: urination and sexual intercourse
spermatic ducts function: to move sperm away from its storage place in the testicle
male accessory glands function: facilitate sperm transfer to the female
Woman
uterus function: responsible for your menstrual cycle
ovaries function: breast development, body shape, and body hair
Fallopian tubes function: channels for oocyte transport and fertilization
cervix function: allows fluids to flow inside and out of your uterus
vagina function: provides a passageway for blood and mucous tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period
systems interact with circulatory
Digestive system
Parts
Systems interact with
Rectum function: to receive stool from the colon, let you know that there is stool to be evacuated (pooped out) and to hold the stool until evacuation happens
Esophagus function: transport food entering the mouth through the throat and into the stomach
Large intestine function: to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and get rid of any waste products left over
Mouth function: eating and speaking
Liver function: breaks down, balances, and creates the nutrients and also metabolizes drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body or that are nontoxic.
Gallbladder function: stores and concentrates bile from the liver
Small intestine function: helps to further digest food coming from the stomach
Stomach function: takes in food from the esophagus (gullet or food pipe), mixes it, breaks it down, and then passes it on to the small intestine in small portions.
Pancreas function: helps your digestive system by making hormones
urinary system, excretory system
