Skeletal System

Body system

Produces body movements, such as walking, stabilizes body position, generates heat.

Muscular System

Body system

Generates action potentials (nerve impulses) to regulate body activities, detects change in the body's internal and external enviorments, interprets the change, and responds by causing muscular contractions or grandular secretions.

Nervous System

Body system

Regulates body activities by releasing hormones, which are chemical messengers transported in blood

Endocrine System

Body system

Heart pumps blood through blood vessels, blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and waste away from cells

Body system

Returns proteins and fluids to blood, carries lipids from gastrointestinal tract to blood

Lymphatic System

Body System

Transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to exhaled air

Respiratory System

Body system

Acheives physical and chemical breakdown of food, absorbs nutrients and water, eliminates solid waste

Digestive System

Body system
