Respiratory System
It exchanges harmful carbon dioxide for oxygen through breathing
Take the Quiz
The respiratory system is responsible for breathing. It includes the air path to the lungs, larynx, Pharynx, trachea, and bronchi, the lungs themselves and the diaphragm that inflates the lungs. Lung elasticity deflates the lungs, air is inhaled into the lungs, which has small air tubes called bronchioles and alveoli (little air bags with capillaries). Oxygen diffuses through the alveoli into the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide diffuses in the opposite direction and is exhaled.
By this method the, the respiratory system interacts with the circulatory system, which transports blood to the lungs to be oxygenated, then to the heart which pumps it to the rest of the body to distribute oxygen and collect CO2.
Skeletal System
- The skeletal system has 206 bones
The skeletal system is a framework of bones that protects your organs and assist in movement. Bones are hollow. In the hollow of most bones is a jelly-like substance called marrow, which produces a lot of the blood cells in your body. Bones also store calcium which is needed by your nerve and muscle cells. Bones are connected to each other by tough tissues called ligaments, then attached by equally tough tissues called tendons. To prevent wear and tear on the bones from moving around they are padded with a rubbery substance called cartilage at the places where bones meet, called joints. In conclusion the skeletal system provides structural support and movement.
Nervous System
The nervous system is a network of nerves that sends signals to the brain so that it could make decisions. It is basically the control center of your entire body. It's made up of your brain, spinal cord, and a large network of nerves. The brain uses all the information it receives from the nerves to coordinate your actions and reactions. Your brain contains nerve cells called neurons that carry messages back and forth. The nervous system works in two ways: The autonomic system is responsible for things that happen on their own, like breathing or your heart beating. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary actions like talking or walking.
Circulatory System
The circulatory system has the heart pumping oxygen and nutrients through your body. The circulatory system transports blood to the lungs to be oxygenated, and then to the heart, which pumps it to the rest of the body to distribute oxygen and collect CO2.
Lymphatic System
Muscular System
Immune System
Battles virus and bacteria.
Integumentary System
Digestive System
Breaks down food so that nutrients and water can be used by your body.
Urinary System
Gets rid of chemical waste from your body by flushing it out.
Endocrine System
All the hormonal glands that control body growth and reproduction
