Body Systems Chart System Illustration Structures Function: Digestive

The document outlines the main body systems, their structures and functions. The nine systems are: digestive (breaks down food), circulatory (transports nutrients and oxygen), respiratory (brings in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide), excretory (removes waste), immune (fights infection), skeletal (provides structure and support), muscular (allows movement), nervous (receives stimuli and responds to changes), and integumentary (protects the body). Each system works together to keep the body functioning properly.

Digestive down food cells can absorb and use.
Small intestine absorbs nutrients from
food
Large intestine absorbs water

Heart: Muscle that pushes blood delivery system of the body. It delivers
through arteries nutrients and oxygen throughout the
Arteries: Carry blood away from heart body cells and picks up waste.
Circulatory the has oxygen and nutrients
Veins: Carry blood to the heart that is
low in oxygen and high in waste

Lungs take in oxygen into the body and brings oxygen into the body and removes
release carbon dioxide carbon dioxide.
Respiratory Diaphragm muscle that forces the lungs
to expand and contract and bring air
into and out of the lungs.

Bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons provide support and structure to the body

Skeletal Blood cells are made in bone marrow

Muscles including voluntary and allow movement of bones and body parts
involuntary by working with the nervous and skeletal
systems
Muscular

Brain, spinal cord, nerves receives stimuli from inside and outside
of the body and responds to change
Nervous Maintains homeostasis which is the
regulation of steady, life-maintaining
conditions by all of the body systems
Includes skin (largest organ of the The skin protects and provides a barrier
body), hair, and fingernails to keep out foreign materials and to
prevent the body from drying out.
