Main systems of the human body
Survival
Circulatory
The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells.
Arteries
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries transport blood that has a low oxygen content from the right ventricle to the lungs.
Veins
Veins carry blood toward the heart.
Coronary
Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function.
Heart
Pump enough blood to deliver a continuous supply of oxygen and other nutrients to the brain and the other vital organs.
Portal vessels
The portal vein is a blood vessel that delivers blood to the liver.
Gas exchange
During gas exchange, oxygen moves from the lungs to the bloodstream. At the same time carbon dioxide passes from the blood to the lungs. This happens in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
Lymphatic
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, vessels and organs that work together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph back into your circulatory system. Some 20 liters of plasma flow through your body's arteries and smaller arteriole blood vessels and capillaries every day.
Lymphatic vessels
Lymphatic vessels are the network of capillaries and a large network of tubes located throughout your body that transport lymph away from tissues. Lymphatic vessels collect and filter lymph (at the nodes) as it continues to move toward larger vessels called collecting ducts.
Lymph nodes
Lymph nodes are small structures that work as filters for foreign substances, such as cancer cells and infections. They contain immune cells that can help fight infection by attacking and destroying germs that are carried in through the lymph fluid.
Urinary
The urinary system is to eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood.
Urinary bladder
The bladder's walls relax and expand to store urine, and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra.
Urethra
This tube allows urine to pass outside the body.
Kidney
Remove waste products from the body. remove drugs from the body. balance the body's fluids.
Integumentary
The integumentary system is the largest organ of the body that forms a physical barrier between the external environment and the internal environment that it serves to protect and maintain.
Epidermis
The epidermis is the outermost layer, providing the initial barrier to the external environment.
Dermis
The dermis is the underlying connective tissue layer that supports the epidermis. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue and areolar connective tissue such as a collagen with elastin arranged in a diffusely bundled and woven pattern.
Hypodermis
The hypodermis is the innermost (or deepest) and thickest layer of skin. It is also known as the subcutaneous layer or subcutaneous tissue. The layers of the skin include the epidermis (the outermost layer), the dermis (the next layer which is loaded with blood vessels and nerves), and then the hypodermis.
Exclorine glands
Hair
Hair has various functions such as protection against external factors, sebum, apocrine sweat and pheromones production and thermoregulation.
Nails
Nails protect the sensitive tips of fingers and toes.
Skin
Provides a protective barrier against mechanical, thermal and physical injury and hazardous substances. Prevents loss of moisture. Reduces harmful effects of UV radiation.
Endocrine
The endocrine system is a messenger system comprising feedback loops of the hormones released by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system, regulating distant target organs. In vertebrates, the hypothalamus is the neural control center for all endocrine systems.
Behaviour
Muscular
The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
Cardiac
Cardiac muscle tissue forms the muscle surrounding the heart. With the function of the muscle being to cause the mechanical motion of pumping blood throughout the rest of the body, unlike skeletal muscles, the movement is involuntary as to sustain life.
Smooth muscles
Smooth muscle is present throughout the body, where it serves a variety of functions. It is in the stomach and intestines, where it helps with digestion and nutrient collection.
Heart muscles
Cardiac muscle tissue works to keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements.
Skeletal
The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals. The skeletal system is also called the musculoskeletal system.
Axial skeleton
The function of the axial skeleton is to provide support and protection for the brain, the spinal cord, and the organs in the ventral body cavity.
Appendicular skeleton
The appendicular skeleton supports the attachment and functions of the upper and lower limbs of the human body.
Nervous
The nervous system is the part of an animal's body that coordinates its behavior and transmits signals between different body areas.
The central nervous system
Spinal cord
The spinal cord is connected to the brain and runs the length of the body. Nerves will be transported through the spinal cord.
Brain
The brain oversees the workings of the body, while its higher functions give us consciousness and personality. It also acts like the “boss” of the systems.
The peripheral nervous system
Somatic
It relays the information from the eyes, ears, skin and muscle to the central nervous system. It obeys the commands sent by the central nervous system.
Automatic
One of its main roles is to regulate glands and organs. The sympathetic and parasympathetic in the nervous system act as a multitude of adjustments.
Reproduction
Reproductive
The reproductive system of an organism is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction, which is disgusting.
Uterus
Once the egg has left the ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus. The main function of the uterus is to nourish the developing fetus prior to birth.
Vegina
provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period. receives the penis during sexual intercourse and holds the sperm until they pass into the uterus. provides a passageway for childbirth.
Growth
Digestive
The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.
Stomach
Helps melt or digest the food by secreting or producing acidic liquid.
Small intestine
Helps absorb nutrients from the food that has been transported.
Esophagus
Helps by producing liquid to transmit the food from top to bottom in the right direction.
Large intestine
Helps by absorbing water and changing it to waste.
Mouth
Helps us to eat by providing sensations to help us bit, chew and swallow.
Rectum
Helps by informing nerve senses to the brain whether if it’s due to gas or waste.
Anal part
Helps by removing the waste out of the body.
