(National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 2019)

The GI is made up of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.(National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 2019)

(Buckley, 2019)

"All cells in the body need to have oxygen and nutrients, and they need their wastes removed. These are the main roles of the circulatory system. The heart, blood, and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of arteries, veins, and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell." (Better Health Channel, 2012)

Talk and to smell.
Warms air to match your body temperature and moisturizes it to the humidity level your body needs.
Delivers oxygen to the cells in your body.
Removes waste gases, including carbon dioxide, from the body when you exhale.
Protects your airways from harmful substances and irritants.

They are made up of:

  • Glands located throughout the body;
  • Hormones that are made by the glands and released into the bloodstream or the fluid surrounding cells; and
  • Receptors in various organs and tissues recognize and respond to the hormones.
US EPA,OCSPP, 2019)

Hormones are extremely important to the human body; Hormones act as chemical messengers that are released into the bloodstream to act on an organ in another part of the body. 
 
Hormones control and or regulate many biological processes and are often produced in exceptionally low amounts within the body. For example, 

  • blood sugar control (insulin);
  • differentiation, growth, and function of reproductive organs (testosterone (T) and estradiol); and
  • body growth and energy production (growth hormone and thyroid hormone).
(US EPA,OCSPP, 2019)

  • Control of body's internal environment to maintain 'homeostasis' 
  • Programming of spinal cord reflexes. 
  • Memory and learning
  • Voluntary control of movement.

Our immune system keeps a record of every germ or microbe it has ever defeated our body. So it can recognize and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again.

The main parts of the immune system are:
  • white blood cells
  • antibodies
  • complement system
  • lymphatic system
  • spleen
  • bone marrow
  • thymus.

But women are the ones who carry a child. In women, the reproductive system includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the vagina. Now in a man, the prostate, the testes, and the penis.


The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure the survival of the species. The menstrual cycle is regulated by the complex interactions of hormones produced in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovary.
