The nervous and endocrine systems maintain homeostasis in the body. The nervous system is a fast but short-lived response that uses neurons and neurotransmitters to change the metabolism of the cells in the body (ex: stimulates muscle contractions). In contrast, the endocrine system is a slow but long-lasting response that uses glands which release hormones (chemicals) into the bloodstream.…
Our body is made up of many different systems which help us to keep alive. Without these systems our organs would not be able to functions at all. There are 10 main systems in our body which include the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, the renal system, the nervous system, the reproductive system, the immune system, the respiratory system, the lymphatic system, the muscular –skeletal system and lastly the endocrine system. Each of these systems has their own functions and purpose…
It is an organ system that consists of skin, hair, nails and oil glands. These specific set of organs serve a wide range of functions which is mostly protective. Together these organs form the integumentary system. (marieb, elaine, hoehn, katja, 2010)…
The integumentary system consists of the skin and accessory structures, such as hair, nails, sudorifenous gland (sweat gland) and sebaceous gland (oil gland). Integument means covering, and the integumentary system is familiar to most people because it covers the outside of the body and is easily observed.…
3. The eleven organ systems include the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, the endocrine system, the immune system, the integumentary system, lymphatic system, the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, the respiratory system, the reproductive system, and the urinary system. The integumentary system is the largest system by mass, it forms the external body covering, protects deeper tissue and produces Vitamin D, as well as serves as the location of cutaneous nerve receptors. Its parts include skin. The skeletal system protects and supports body organs, provides muscle attachment for…
The human body is made up of 11 organ systems. The Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Muscular System, Nervous System, Endocrine System, Circulatory System, Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Urinary System, Digestive System, and Reproductive System for the male and female. Also, we have the Immune System which is an accumulation of cells rather than an organ system.…
In order to survive all the body systems in an animal need to function together. In all there are 10 major human body systems. Three of these systems are the skeletal system, muscular system, and the digestive system. The skeletal system supports and protects our inner organs. Without it we would be like a big bowl of jello, and your organs would get glopped by the rest of your body.…
Inside our brain, there is this system called the human nervous system. There are two types of nervous systems: the peripheral and central nervous systems. The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves connecting the central nervous system to the rest of the body. It has two subdivisions: somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system. Somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscles and interacts with the external environment. An example is walking through a park. You are using your motor nerves, which relay messages from the central nervous system, to all the skeletal muscles of your body. The autonomic nervous system regulates the body’s internal environment, which consists of organs, glands, and blood vessels. An example is breathing.…
All the systems in the human body are vital to our survival and well-being. If you take away the functions of just one of these systems our whole body will cease to work properly. The main systems of the human body are the nervous, endocrine respiratory, circulatory, immune, digestive, excretory, skeletal, muscular, and the reproductive systems. They all work together in harmony and unison to keep us alive.…
The organ systems of the body include the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, endocrine system, integumentary system, urinary system, lymphatic system, immune system, respiratory system, nervous system and reproductive system.…
The nervous system is one of the most important systems in the body. The nervous system helps to keep the human body in balance. There are several important parts of the nervous system; the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Each part of the nervous system has different jobs. There are two main parts of the nervous system peripheral and central.…
The human musculoskeletal system is an organ system that controls human’s ability to move, provides form, support and stablity. • It is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs. Immune System • The immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue.…
A brief introduction to all the systems of human body is given in the table below. For details of a system, please go to its section by clicking on the link to that system’s section.…
