Integumentary System: (includes hair, skin and nails) forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues from injury. Synthesizes vitamin d, and houses cutaneous (pain, pressure ect) receptors and sweat and oil glands
Skeletal System: (includes bones and joints) protects and supports body organs, and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals
Muscular System: (includes skeletal muscles) allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat
Nervous System: (includes brain, spinal cord and nerves) as the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.
Endocrine System: (includes pineal gland, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, thymus, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovary and testis) glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells
Cardiovascular System: (includes heart and blood vessels) blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes ect. The heart pumps blood
Lymphatic System/Immunity: (includes red bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic vessels, thoracic duct, spleen and lymph nodes) picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) involved in immunity. The immune response mounts the attack against foreign substances within the body
Respiratory System: (includes nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs and bronchus) keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs
Digestive System: (includes oral cavity, esophagus, liver, stomach, sml intestine, lrg intestine, rectum and anus) breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the body for distribution to body cells. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces
Urinary System: (includes kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder and urethra) eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of blood
Reproductive System: (Female includes mammary glands, ovary,uterus,uterine tube and vagina. Male includes prostate gland, penis,testis,scrotum and ductus deferens) overall function in production of offspring. Testes produce sperm and male sex hormone, and male ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to the female reproductive tract. Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. The remaining female structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus. Mammary glands of female breasts produce milk to nourish the new born.
name the different system of the body ? Be able to give the function of each system
All body system perform function. What functions they perform depends on what system you are referring to.
The nervous system controls all of the other body systems.
The nervous and endocrine systems control the physiologic and metabolic functions of the body.
Human Anatomy, is the class where you learn about the human body, its parts and functions
Regulate body functions
The body systems allow to the body to have many different functions within a single unit or body. Each system has a function unique to all of the other systems, allowing these many different functions.
All organs, body functions, systems are controlled by the brain.
Anatomy is the study of the human body, the locations functions and relations of the organ systems.
Systems are groups of bodily organs acting together to perform one or more functions. The human body is composed of 10 major systems.
The study of the human body involves anatomy and physiology. The human body can show anatomicalnon-pathological anomalies which need to be able to be recognised. Physiology focuses on the systems and their organs of the human body and their functions.
Bodily functions are essential processes that occur within the human body to maintain health and life. They include activities such as breathing, digestion, circulation, and excretion, among others. These functions are controlled by various systems within the body, such as the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems.
Physiologically speaking, the Anatomist studies Anatomy.
Most all of the systems in the human body need water. Water has five functions: Cell life, chemical and metabolic reactions, transport of nutrients, body temperature regulation, and elimination of waste.

Learning about cells is essential in order to gain an understanding of how a human body system functions because humans are composed of cells. These cells each do functions together.
Understanding the different systems of bodies
The human body and a cell both show similarities in terms of co-ordination. Both have a co-ordianting centre(Brain in human body and nucleus in cell). Both show division of labour(Different organ systems in human beings perform different functions while in cell different organelles perform different functions).
Your body systems work together to perform all the functions that your body performs day to day.
