How Does our Digestive System Works?

As food moves through your gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), your digestive organs break the food into smaller parts using motion, such as chewing, squeezing, and mixing digestive juices, such as stomach acid, bile, and enzymes. And as what you can see in the infographic presented, these are diagram of the parts of our digestive system.

The organs of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Recognizing how these organs work together to digest food is key to understanding how digestion works.

The digestive process begins in the mouth. Even before eating begins, the anticipation of eating stimulates glands in the mouth to produce saliva. The digestive system carries out three primary processes: mixing food, moving food through the digestive tract (peristalsis) and using chemicals to break down food into smaller molecules.

What is the purpose/significance of our Endocrine System?

Endocrine is a system that makes hormones. These hormones are responsible for controlling our mood, metabolism, reproduction, growth & development, and how our organs work.

Moreover, the hormones can travel all around our body but not all hormones comes from our endocrine system. Without these hormones our cell wouldn't know when or what to do in important situations/things.

Altogether, we should take care of our endocrine system by getting plenty of rest, eating healthy foods, and regular exercise because our endocrine is important in a way that it is the one who helps us to manage our stress, regulates all the major functions and processes of our body.

How does the male reproductive system function?

The entire male reproductive system is dependent on hormones. These are chemicals that stimulate or regulate the activity of your cells or organs. The primary hormones involved in the functioning of the male reproductive system are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone.

FSH and LH are produced by the pituitary gland. It’s located at the base of your brain and it’s responsible for many functions in your body. FSH is necessary for sperm production (spermatogenesis). LH stimulates the production of testosterone, which is necessary to continue the process of spermatogenesis. Testosterone is also important in the development of male characteristics, including muscle mass and strength, fat distribution, bone mass, and sex drive.

What are the parts of the male reproductive system?

The male reproductive system consists of the 🤬, 🤬, 🤬, vas deferens, prostate gland, and urethra.

Why is the endocrine system important?

Endocrine System helps monitor the number of hormones in our blood.
Hormones affect nearly every process in our body including metabolism, growth and development, emotions and mood, fertility and sexual function, and blood pressure.

The endocrine system is made up of organs called glands. Glands produce and release different hormones that target specific things in the body.
You have glands all over your body, including in your neck, brain and reproductive organs. Some glands are tiny, about the size of a grain of rice or a pea.
The endocrine system consists of nine parts. These are the Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal, Pineal, Pancreas, Ovaries, and 🤬.

Your endocrine system needs the same things the rest of your body needs to stay healthy. You should exercise, eat right and see your healthcare provider regularly.

What are the 4 main functions of the urinary system?
The urinary system is to eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH.

How does urinary system works?
its filter blood and create urine as a waste by- product. The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra. The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy.

What is the most important organ in the urinary system?
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs which filter blood and produce urine. They remove wastes, control the body's fluid balance, and keep the right levels of electrolytes. Kidney is the most complex and critical part of the urinary system.

To keep it healthy, use the bathroom often, be in a relaxed position while urinating, wipe from front-back after using toilet.

Each individual body system works in conjunction with other body systems. The circulatory system is a good example of how body systems interact with each other. Your heart pumps blood through a complex network of blood vessels. When your blood circulates through your digestive system, for example, it picks up nutrients your body absorbed from your last meal. Your blood also carries oxygen inhaled by the lungs. Your circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the other cells of your body then picks up any waste products created by these cells, including carbon dioxide, and delivers these waste products to the kidneys and lungs for disposal. Meanwhile, the circulatory system carries hormones from the endocrine system, and the immune system’s white blood cells that fight off infection.

What is the main role of Cardiovascular System?

# data[].attributes.body
The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the blood-vascular, or simply the circulatory, system. It consists of the heart, which is a muscular pumping device, and a closed system of vessels called arteries, veins, and capillaries. As the name implies, blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circle or circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body. As in the adult, survival of the developing embryo depends on the circulation of blood to maintain homeostasis and a favorable cellular environment.

The vital role of the cardiovascular system in maintaining homeostasis depends on the continuous and controlled movement of blood through the thousands of miles of capillaries that permeate every tissue and reach every cell in the body. It is in the microscopic capillaries that blood performs its ultimate transport function. Nutrients and other essential materials pass from capillary blood into fluids surrounding the cells as waste products are removed.

In the Philippines, different causes of death are sometimes can be genetically inherited, caused by genetic coding, and infection from a carrier like diseases of the heart, diseases of the vascular system, pneumonia, malignant neoplasms/cancers, all forms of tuberculosis, accidents, COPD and allied conditions, diabetes mellitus, nephritis/nephritic syndrome and other diseases of the respiratory system.

In the country, diabetes is one of the main causes of death in the Pilipino family whereas diabetes affects your heart and your whole circulation. That includes small blood vessels in your kidneys, eyes, and nerves, and the big ones that feed your heart and brain and keep you alive. The damage starts with high blood sugar (glucose) and insulin levels.

In this infographic, types of diabetes are discussed, symptoms and affected body parts are shown, and also how can an infected person lived and survived it. Which mainly aims to be a part of the awareness and interventions of the people.

There are around 600 muscles that connect the human muscular system. All of your muscles work together in unison to move your body in a variety of ways.

Because none of your body systems can function without muscles, and your muscles can't function without your other body systems, all of your body systems are interdependent.

Protein, nutrients, and oxygen are required for your muscles to move and function. From the digestive and respiratory systems, the circulatory system transports those vital particles to your muscles. That's when your circulatory system returns the waste to its native systems to be expelled from your body.

What does the respiratory system do?

The respiratory system, which includes the airways, pulmonary blood vessels,  lungs, and respiratory muscles, helps the body move gas between air and blood, and between blood and billions of cells in the body. Most organs of the respiratory system help distribute air, but only the small grape-like air sacs and alveolar ducts are involved in the actual gas exchange.

In addition to air distribution and gas exchange, the breathing system filters, warms, and humidifies the air we breathe. Respiratory organs also affect language and the sense of smell. The respiratory system also helps the body maintain homeostasis and balance between many elements of the body's internal environment.

The respiratory system is divided into two main components:
- Upper respiratory tract: The upper respiratory tract organs, which consist of the nose, throat, and larynx,  are located outside the chest cavity.
- Lower respiratory tract: The organs of the lower respiratory tract, which consist of all segments of the trachea, lungs, and alveoli (including alveoli), are located within the thoracic cavity.

What is Digestive System and its functions

The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. They can then be absorbed into the bloodstream so the body can use them for energy, growth and repair.

The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.

Your digestive system is uniquely constructed to do its job of turning your food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. And when it’s done with that, it handily packages your solid waste, or stool, for disposal when you have a bowel movement.

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body.

Digestion is important because your body needs nutrients from the food you eat and the liquids you drink in order to stay healthy and function properly. Nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Your digestive system breaks down and absorbs nutrients from the food and liquids you consume to use for important things like energy, growth and repairing cells.

The heart pumps blood to the body through a network of arteries and veins (blood vessels). Your circulatory system. The circulatory system’s function is to move blood throughout the body. This blood circulation keeps organs, muscles and tissues healthy and working to keep you alive

The pulmonary circuit: This circuit carries blood without the oxygen from the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to the heart.

The systemic circuit: In this circuit, blood with oxygen, nutrients and hormones travels from the heart to the rest of the body. In the veins, the blood picks up waste products as the body uses up the oxygen, nutrients and hormones.

The coronary circuit: Coronary refers to your heart’s arteries. This circuit provides the heart muscle with oxygenated blood. The coronary circuit then returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart’s right upper chamber (atrium) to send to the lungs for oxygen.

But how much do we actually know about this Respiratory System?

Ultimately, this system allows us to breathe and deliver oxygen throughout our blood vessels and filter out waste gases like carbon dioxide.

Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out, and shortness of breath. For some people, asthma is a minor nuisance.

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia.

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition where the walls of the bronchi are thickened from inflammation and infection. People with bronchiectasis have periodic flare-ups of breathing difficulties, called exacerbations.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by germs that are spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine.

Lung cancer occurs when cells in the lungs divide uncontrollably, causing tumors to grow. Tumors can reduce a person's ability to breathe, and they can spread to other parts of the body.

Sarcoidosis is a rare disease caused by inflammation. It usually occurs in the lungs and lymph nodes, but it can occur in almost any organ.

The nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body. It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning, and memory. Together with the endocrine system, the nervous system is responsible for regulating and maintaining homeostasis. Through its receptors, the nervous system keeps us in touch with our environment, both external and internal.

Like other systems in the body, the nervous system is composed of organs, principally the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and ganglia. These, in turn, consist of various tissues, including nerve, blood, and connective tissue. Together these carry out the complex activities of the nervous system.

What does the nervous system do?

Nervous system plays an active role in guiding almost everything you do, including movement, thinking, and responding to the world. The primary functions controlled by your nervous system include: Voluntary and involuntary movements. Sensory perceptions (touch, sight, taste, etc.). Thoughts and memory.

Our harmonious hearts perform for 24 hours a day, second by second, without stopping. Our hearts beat 2.5 billion times in a lifetime on average. Understanding that it is one of our most significant organs, it is critical to treat it as the valuable commodity that it is.

The human heart is one of the most vital organs in the body, as it is essential for maintaining life. It is a four-chambered muscular organ. The heart is approximately the size of a clenched hand. It is dubbed as the most powerful and hardest-working muscles in the body, functioning throughout a person's life. Apart from humans, most other animals have a heart that pumps blood throughout their bodies. Grasshoppers, for example, have a heart-like pumping organ, however it does not work in the same manner as a human heart.

The hardworking heart is a muscular organ that is found right behind and to the left of the breastbone. It circulates blood via the cardiovascular system, which is made up of arteries and veins. Containing four chambers namely: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle, and with each chamber is associated with different duties to attend to. The heart also has a network of nerve tissue that conducts the complicated impulses that control contraction and relaxation.

The skeletal system is your body’s central framework. It consists of bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It’s also called the musculoskeletal system. Bones support your body and allow you to move. They protect your brain, heart, and other organs from injury.

Bone is a living, growing tissue. It is made mostly of two materials: collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium, a mineral that adds strength and hardness. This combination makes bone strong and flexible enough to hold up under stress.

The skeletal system has many functions. Besides giving us our human shape and features, it:
Allows movement: Your skeleton supports your body weight to help you stand and move. Joints, connective tissue and muscles work together to make your body parts
mobile.
Produces blood cells: Bones contain bone marrow. Red and white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. Protects and supports organs: Your skull
shields your brain, your ribs protect your heart and lungs, and your backbone protects your spine.
Stores minerals: Bones hold your body’s supply of minerals like calcium
and vitamin D.
