1 MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS IN THE HUMAN BODY

2 THE 11 MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
Ciardiovascular Digestive Endocrine Excretory Immune Integumentary Muscular Nervous Reproductive Respiratory Skeletal

3 1) Cardiovascular System
Major Structures: Heart, Blood vessels, Blood (cardiovascular), lymph nodes and vessels, lymph (lymphatic) Functions: Transports nutrients, wastes, hormones, and gases

4 2) Digestive System Major Structures:
Mouth, Throat, Esophagus, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Small intestine, Large intestine Functions: Extracts and absorbs nutrients from food; removes wastes; maintains water and chemical balances

5 3) Endocrine System Major Structures:
Hypothalamus, pituitary, pancreas Functions: Regulates body temperature, metabolism, development, and reproduction; maintains homeostasis; regulates other organ systems

6 4) Excretory System Major Structures:
Kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, skin, lungs Functions: Removes wastes from blood; regulates concentration of body fluids

7 5) Immune System Major Structures:
White blood cells, lymph nodes and vessels, skin Functions: Defends against pathogens and disease

8 6) Integumentary System
Major Structures: Skin, nails, hair Functions: Protects against injury, infection, and fluid loss; helps regulate body temperature

9 7) Muscular System Major Structures:
Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissues Functions: Moves limb and trunk; moves substances through body; provides structure and support

10 8) Nervous System Major Structures:
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs Functions: Regulates behavior, maintains homeostasis; regulates other organ systems; controls sensory and motor functions

11 9) Reproductive System Major Structures:
Testes, penis (males), ovaries, uterus, breasts (females) Functions: Produces gametes and offspring

12 10) Respiratory System Major Structures: Lungs, nose, mouth, trachea
Functions: Moves air into and out of the lungs; controls gas exchange between blood and lungs

13 11) Skeletal System Major Structures: Bones and joints Functions:
Protects and supports the body and organs; interactions with skeletal muscles; produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

14 * We’ll be taking a look at how all the systems must work together as one unit for the human body to function properly. * You’ll be taking a look at the problems that can arise in each of the organ systems.
