Integumentary System Functions

protects, excretes, aids in regulation of body temperature and produces vitamin D

Skeletal System Functions

body support, protection and provide site for blood cell formation

Muscular System Functions

contract and shorten, allow movement and generates heat

Nervous System Functions

allows body to detect changes in its internal and external environment and helps maintain homeostasis

Endocrine System Functions

helps maintain homeostasis, promotes growth and development

Cardiovascular System Functions

a transport system that carries blood (containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, ions, hormones, and more) to and from tissue cells (antibodies and other proteins in blood protect the body)

Lymphatic (Immunity) System Functions

pick up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood, cleanses blood of disease and protect body (from foreign substances, using lymphocytes)

Respiratory System Functions

keeps blood supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide

Digestive System Functions

breaks down food and removes excess as feces

Urinary System Functions

gets rid of wastes (urea, uric acid and ammonia) and maintains (water, electrolyte, and acid-base) balance

Reproductive System Functions

Provides sperm and eggs (mammary glands provide nutrients for the infant)

Integumentary Organs

skin (hair, nails)

Skeletal Organs

bones (cartilages, tendons, ligaments, joints)

Muscular Organs

muscles (attached to skeleton)

Nervous Organs

brain (spinal cord, nerves, sensory receptors)

Endocrine Organs

thyroid (pituitary, thymus, adrenal, ovaries, testes, pancreas)

Cardiovascular Organs

heart (blood vessels, blood)

Lymphatic (Immunity) Organs

lymph nodes (spleen, lymphatic vessels, thymus, tonsils)

Respiratory Organs

trachea (nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, bronchi, lungs)

Digestive Organs

stomach (esophagus, oral cavity, small and large intestine, accessory organs like: teeth, salivary glands, liver, pancreas)

Urinary Organs

kidneys (ureters, bladder, urethra)

Reproductive Organs

Penis or Vagina (male: testes, prostate gland, scrotum female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, mammary glands)
