Comparison Chart

1) Circulatory System : The circulatory system is made up of


blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart .
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood
back to the heart

The circulatory system carries oxygen , nutrients and hormones to


cells , and removes waste products , like carbon dioxide . These
roadways travel in one direction only , to keep things gang where
they should

%20system%20is%20made,waste%20products%2C%20like
%20carbon%20dioxide

2) Digestive System Fuction : The fuction of the digestive system


is digestion and absorption . Digestion is the breakdown of food
into small molecules which are then absorbed into the body
The digestive system is divided into two major parts:
The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a continuous tube with
two openings : the mouth and the anus .It includes the mouth
pharynx , esophagus , stomach , small intestine and large
intestine
Accesory organs include the teeth and tongue salivary glands ,
liver , gallblandder , and pancreas

system#:~:text=The%20function%20of%20the%20digestive,the
%20mouth%20and%20the%20anus

.
3) Endocrine System : Endocrine glands release hormones into
the bloodstream . This lets the hormones travel to cells in other
parts of the body
The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is
released . This can depend on levels of hormones already in the
bood , or on levels of other substances in the blood , like calcium.
Many things affect hormone levels such as stress , infection , and
changes in the balance of fluid and minerals in blood

4) Immunological System : The role of the immune system is to


protect against disease or other potentially damaging foreign
bodies . When functioning properly , the immune system
identifies a variety of threats , including viruses , bacteria and
parasites , and distinguishes them from the body’s own healthy
tissue according to Merck Manuals

%20foreign%20bodies

5) Lymphatic System : Is a network of delicate tubes throughout


the body .It drains fluid (called lymph) that has leaked from the
blood vessels into the tissues and empties it back into the
bloodstream via the lymph nodes

The main roles of the lymphatic system include:


Managing the fluid levels in the body reacting to bacteria dealing
with cancer cells dealing with cells products that otherwise would
result in disease or disorders

6) Muscular System : Muscles play a part in every function of the
body . The muscular system is made up of over 600 muscles
.These include three muscle types : smooth , skeletal , and
cardiac

Each muscle type in the muscular system has a specific


purpose . You’re able to walk because of your skeletal muscular
You can digest because of your smooth muscles .And your heart
beats because of your cardiac muscle

system

7) Nervous System : Is a network of nervous whose main feature


is to generate modulate and transmit information between all the
different parts of the human body .This property enables many
important functions of the nervous system , such as regulation of
vital body functions (heartbeat breathing , digestion ) , sesation
and body movements . Ultimately , the nervous system structures
preside over everything that makes us human ; our
consciousness cognition , behaviour and memories

8) Oseo System : The skeletal system has many functions besides


giving us our human shape and features it:

Allows movement
Produces blood cells
Protects and supports organs
Stores minerals
