The function of the digestive system is to digest and absorb food and then excrete the waste products with the help of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. Each of these organs plays a specific role in the digestive system. The digestive system is a long, twisting tube that starts at the mouth and goes through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and ends at the anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The digestive system serves the role of taking in nutrients, eliminating waste, and absorbing and using the nutrients we take in.

Circulatory System

Your heart and blood vessels make up the circulatory system. The main function of the circulatory system is to provide oxygen, nutrients and hormones to muscles, tissues, and organs throughout your body. Another part of the circulatory system is to remove waste from cells and organs so your body can dispose of it. The role of the circulatory system is to move nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases to your body's organs, muscles, and tissues, to use for energy, growth, and repair. The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and takes away waste. The heart pumps oxygenated and deoxygenated blood on different sides. The types of blood vessels include arteries, capillaries, and veins.

Respiratory System

The main function of your respiratory system is to pull in oxygen for your body's cells and get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product. You do this by breathing in and out and through gas exchange between the small air sacs of your lungs and the blood vessels running nearby. The respiratory system takes up oxygen from the air we breathe and expels the unwanted carbon dioxide. The main organ of the respiratory system is the lungs. Other respiratory organs include the nose, the trachea and the breathing muscles

Endocrine System

The endocrine system is made up of glands that make hormones. Hormones are the body's chemical messengers. They carry information and instructions from one set of cells to another. The endocrine system influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. The endocrine system consists of glands located throughout the body, hormones made by the glands, and released into the bloodstream or the fluid surrounding cells. Makes Hormones for Mood, Development, and Growth. Many different vital hormones are created and controlled within the endocrine system, it sends hormones into your bloodstream, and

regulates the release of hormones.

Musculoskeletal System

Bones, muscles and joints make up the musculoskeletal system, along with cartilage, tendons and ligaments. This system gives your body its structure and support, lets you move around and protects important organs. The musculoskeletal system is an essential component of human health. In addition to providing the body with structure and the means for movement, the musculoskeletal system acts as endocrine system, stimulated by exercise, interacting through biochemical signaling with other organs in the body.

Nervous System

What Is the Nervous System? The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends messages back and forth between the brain and the body. The brain is what controls all the body's functions. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. It controls many aspects of what you think, how you feel and what your body does. It allows you to do things such as walk, speak, swallow, breathe and learn. It also controls how the body reacts in stressful situations.

Immune System

The immune system defends the body from infection and includes a complex network of cells, chemicals, tissues and organs. The immune system recognizes 'invaders' such as bacteria, viruses and fungi as well as abnormal cells like cancer cells, and then helps the body fight the invasion. The main components of your immune system are: White blood cells. These immune system cells attack and eliminate harmful germs to keep you healthy. There are many types of white blood cells, and each type has a specific mission in your body's defense system.

Reproductive System

In women, the reproductive system includes the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the cervix, and the vagina. In men, it includes the prostate, the testes, and the penis. Reproduction is the production of offspring. There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, an organism combines the genetic information from each of its parents and is genetically unique. In asexual reproduction, one parent copies itself to form a genetically identical offspring. To produce egg and sperm cells. To transport and sustain these cells. To nurture the developing offspring. To produce hormones.
