How Do Different Body Systems Affect The Human Body?

The human body is split up into several systems, which each have their own set functions (Kinworthy, 5). Every system has their own limitations of what they can do. This is due to differentiation the cells within each system become specialized for specific functions (Martini, & Bartholomew, 2). If something were to happen to one of your systems, your body’s other systems could not help because their cells do not have the ability to do what the other systems cells did (Kinworthy, 5). An example of three systems that are needed for your body to be at optimal health would be the tissues, cardiovascular, and Integumentary systems (Kinworthy, 5). All of the systems work together to keep your body working the most efficient way (Kinworthy, 1). …show more content…
The heartbeat pumps nutrient, oxygenated blood to the rest of the body systems (Kinworthy, 1). In return those systems continue working at top efficiency. The body system receives its nutrients, and oxygen by Red Blood Cells (Kinworthy, 11). Red Blood Cells are specialized for only transport (Kinworthy, 11). Red Blood Cells are made out of a single cell membrane and transport proteins (Lichtin, n.d.). According to Alan Lichtin in an article titled Components of Blood (n.d.), “White blood cells are fewer in number than red blood cells, with a ratio of about one white blood cell to every 600 to 700 red blood cells.” While White blood cells are fewer in number, this fact does not make them less important (Lichtin, n.d.). White blood cells are responsible for defending the body against infection (Lichtin, n.d.). There are five types of cells that a white blood cell can be (Lichtin, n.d.). This consists of neutrophils, Lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, which make up the Cardiovascular system with the red blood cells (Lichtin, n.d.). The Cardiovascular system contains many types of cells that need to be specialized to do their specific
