Your organs do not work alone
They must be linked to other organs in order to carry out all the functions required
Linking of organs is called an organ system
The cells in tissues must be healthy for organs and organ systems to function
Human Organ Systems
Skeletal System
Made up of bones and cartilage
Provides support for movement
Provides points for attachment for other tissues
Human Organ Systems
Muscular System
Made up of skeletal muscles including tendons and ligaments
Allows you to move from place to place
Moves substances through your body
Human Organ Systems
Circulatory System
Made up of the heart, blood vessels and blood
Delivers nutrients
Moves gases
Removes waste
Human Organ Systems
Respiratory System
Made up of nose, trachea and lungs
Allows oxygen from the air to enter the body
Allows waste carbon dioxide to exit the body
Human Organ Systems
Nervous System
Made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves
Sends and receives messages throughout the body
Controls behaviour, movements and body processes (digestion, circulation etc.)
Human Organ Systems
Digestive System
Made up of the mouth, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, intestines
Breaks food down so nutrients can be absorbed by blood and transported to all cells
The colon expels solid waste
Human Organ Systems
Excretory System
Made up of kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra
Removes liquid waste and extra water from the body
Filters the blood
Human Organ Systems
Integumentary System
Made up of skin, hair, nails and sweat glands
Skin hair and nails protect the body
Sweat glands help maintain body temperature
Human Organ Systems
Endocrine System
Made up of hormone producing glands
Hormones (chemicals) that regulate every body function
Glands like the pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas produce hormones that carry message to other parts of the body
The hypothalamus in the brain controls the endocrine and nervous system
Human Organ Systems
Lymphatic System
Made up of lymph, lymph nodes, lymph vessels and lymphoid tissues
Protects the body by destroying and removing any invading organisms and abnormal cells
