THE HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS

Interactions-
System Function Diagram Major Organs Working with Other
Systems
1. take in food Mouth, 1. w/circulatory – absorb &
(ingestion) esophagus, deliver the digested
Digestive 2. digest food into stomach, Sm. nutrients to the cells
smaller molecules Intestine, Lg. 2. w/muscular – control the
and absorb contractions of many of the
intestine,
nutrients digestive organs to pass
rectum, anus
3. remove food along
undigestable food 3.w/nervous – hypothalamus
from body (feces) Salivary glands, maintains homeostasis by
pancreas, liver, triggering appetite
gall bladder (stomach growling), digest.

Transport materials Heart 1. w/respiratory – deliver O2 from

lungs to cells and drop off CO2
to and from cells Veins from cells to lungs
Circulatory Arteries 2. w/digestive – absorb and
Capillaries deliver digested nutrients to cells
3. w/excretory – kidneys filter
Red blood cells cellular waste out of blood for
removal
4. w/lymphatic – both transport
things to and from cells
5. w/immune – transports WBCs
throughout body to fight disease
6. w/nervous – brain controls
heartbeat
7. w/endocrine – trans. hormones

1. gathers and Brain Controls all other

interprets Spinal cord systems
Nervous information
2. responds to Nerves Hypothalamus – maintains
information Nerve cells = homeostasis by working
3. helps maintain neurons with all systems
homeostasis
hypothalamus

Systems
1. removes waste Kidneys 1. w/circulatory – filters
Excretory products from Ureters waste out of blood
cellular Bladder 2. w/lungs – removes
metabolism (urea, Urethra excretory waste
water, CO2) 3. w/integumentary –
2. filters blood Lungs removes excretory waste
Skin – sweat
glands
Liver (produces
urea)

Takes in oxygen Nose 1. w/circulatory – takes

Respiratory and removes carbon Trachea in O2 for delivery to cells
dioxide and water Bronchi and removes CO2 brought
Bronchioles from cells
Alveoli 2. w/excretory – removes
lungs excretory waste
3. w/nervous – controls
breathing
4. w/muscular –
diaphragm controls
breathing

1. protects organs Bones 1. w/muscular – allow

Skeletal 2. provides shape, Cartilage movement
support ligaments 2. w/circulatory –
3. stores materials produce blood cells
(fats, minerals) 3. w/immune – produce
4. produces blood white blood cells
cells 4. w/circulatory and
5. allows movement respiratory – protects
it’s organs
