To produce egg and sperm cells and to nurture the developing offspring. It has several important functions, including: releasing eggs, which can potentially be fertilized by sperm. producing female sex hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen. providing an environment for a fertilized egg to develop during pregnancy.

It consists of a long track through the body. Organs in this tract include
- Oral Cavity
- Pharynx
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small and large intestines 
Additional organs used in the process include 
- Teeth
- Tongue
- Salivary Glands
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Pancreas 
An Ulcer is a sore on the lining of your stomach, small intestine or esophagus. It results in a burning pain coming from your stomach or digestive tract

The respiratory system is a large spiderweb of organs within our body that allow us to breathe.

The respiratory system allows us to breathe by swaping oxygen we inhale into carbon dioxide as we exhale 
Your lungs are one of the major factors in the respiratory system. They remove gases our body doesn't need like carbon dioxide. Another important organ is the trachea. Your trachea's most important function is to carry the air in and out of your lungs so the gas can enter and exit.

Other organs;
- Nasal Cavity
- Nostrils 
- Throat
- Airways
- Voicebox

Asthma is a long-term condition that affects the airways (bronchi) in the lungs. It makes it harder to breathe, as asthma causes the airways to become inflamed and narrow at times. This makes it harder to carry air in and out of your body.

Other conditions;
- Bronchitis 
- Emphysema
- Hay Fever
- Influenza
- Laryngitis
- Pneumonia]]> 2023-01-11 19:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441385530 https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441386965 Purpose

The reproductive system is made up of the organs involved in sexual reproduction.
* For females, this includes:
- the vagina (passageway for blood during a period, recieves the penis during intercourse, passageway for childbirth)
- uterus (nourishes fetus prior to birth)
- cervix (allows fluids to flow inside and out of your uterus)
- ovaries (provides eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes)
- the fallopian tubes (channels for fertilization)
* For men, this includes
- the penis (helps semen leave the male body and enter the female's body.)
- the testicles (produce sperm)
- the prostate (nourishes and transports sperm)

The main disorders that affect the reproductive system are STIs, or sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia, HIV/AIDS, and herpes. Untreated STIs can greatly damage the organs in the reproductive system, sometimes rendering them functionless.]]> 2023-01-11 20:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441389551 MahlerFan69 https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441391337 The musculoskeletal system provides the physical support of the body and gives it ability to move.

It involves the bones/skeleton, cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and connective tissue in general.

Numerous disorders and diseases affect the system. 
- osteoporosis (porous bones)
- arthritis, gout (inflammation of joints, the latter being inflammation caused by build up of urate crystals.)
- EDS (connective tissue disorder, with other symptoms) 
- tendonitis (inflammation of tendon)
- fibromyalgia (entire musculoskeletal system).

it is the key system to control and communicate among body parts.

structures involved:
 
Brain, spinal cord and neurons

diseases: 
Alzheimer's disease: effect brain function, memory and behaviours
Epilepsy

The organs involved is the alimentary canal which is made up of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. Some structures that are involved are the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and the liver. The disorders that could affect the digestive system is ulcers, GERD, IBD, and a celiac disease.]]> 2023-01-11 20:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441393189 https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441397093 Purpose:
- Allows you to smell and talk
- Helps deliver oxygen to your cells
- Removes waste gases from your body and protects your airways from harmful substances
- Warms and moisturizes air to the appropriate humidity level your body needs

Organs/Structures Involved:
- Mouth and nose are openings which pull in air
- The Pharynx and Trachea connect your mouth/nose to lungs
- Lungs remove the oxygen from the air and and pass it into your blood
- Alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen and C02 are exchanged and the oxygen is able to enter into the circulatory system
- Bronchioles are small tubes which lead to the alveoli

Diseases/Disorders:
- Inhaling certain proteins can cause respiratory allergies in some people
- Asthma causes inflammation in the airways, making breathing difficult
- Lung cancer and COPD can cause problems with the circulatory system
- Respiratory infections can also occur]]> 2023-01-11 20:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441397093 https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441397847 Purpose:

activates mobilizes, attacks, and kills foreign invader germs that can cause any form of harm to the body


What organs/structures are involved?:

lysosomes: provide an environment that supports key events in the immune system (eg. MHC (Major, Histocompatibility, Complex) molecules)


Disorders/diseases that could affect the system: 

asthma, type 1 diabetes

The immune system defends the body from infections by recognising invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. White blood cells then attack the invader, which is why we have fevers and other sicknesses.

Organs Involved
Many organs are involved in the immune system. Some of the main ones are the skin, which is the first line of defence; bone marrow, which helps produce immune cells; thymus, where some immune cells mature; lymphatic system, which allows immune cells to travel across tissues; lymph nodes, which help the lymphatic system communicate; and the spleen, which processes information from blood mucous membranes.

Disorders
There are different types of immune diseases, but two examples are asthma and type 1 diabetes.

Asthma is caused by an overactive immune system, some symptoms being coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.

Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking cells that produce insulin, which causes a blood sugar imbalance. Some symptoms may include sudden weight loss, excess water consumption, and a constant need to pee.]]> 2023-01-11 20:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/1b6kyhv2fx4uy5jq/wish/2441418257
