Download Body systems

 System- Provides shape and structure to the body. Allows for
movement. Protects vital organs. Produces blood cells.
 Organs- bones, ligaments, cartilage
 Relationship with other organs-
 Gives the skeletal muscles something to pull against to
provide bodily movement
 Medical Conditions Arthritis
 Leukemia (could also be immune)
 Osteoporosis
 Rickets
 System- Allows movement of the body to
provide heat
 Organs- Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle,
cardiac muscle, tendons
 Relationship with other organs Urination is caused by the contraction of
muscle surrounding the bladder
 Contractions of the cardiac muscle in heart
is responsible for the movement of blood
throughout the circulatory system
 Many muscles are attached to bones of the
skeletal system to provide bodily movement
 Medical Conditions Muscular dystrophy
 Fibromyalgia
 Myopathy
 cramps and spasms
 Tendonitis
 System- Receives and interprets information for the bodies
internal and external environments. Sends messages to the
body about how to react to changes in the environment.
 Organs- spinal cord, brain, nerves
 Relationship with other organs Receives information in the form of electrical signals from all
organs in the body
 Has control over the functions of all organs in the body
 Linked to every organ in the body through a network of
nerves
 Medical Conditions Alzheimer's disease
 Epilepsy
 Stroke
 Parkinson's disease
 Spina bifida
 System- controls body functions using chemicals messengers
called hormones
 Organs- adrenal gland, thymus, thyroid gland, pituitary gland,
pancreas
 Relationship with other organs Produces hormones that controls the growth of bones in the skeletal
system
 The hormones it produces are transported throughout the body by
the circulatory system
 Hormone production is dictated by signals received from the
nervous system
 Medical Conditions Cushing’s disease
 Diabetes mellitus
 Thyroid cancer
 Addison's disease
 System- protects the body from foreign invaders by providing a tough
protective layer. Helps maintain the body’s internal temperature.
Protects against the sun’s UV radiation. Produces vitamin D.
 Organs- nails, hypodermis, hair, dermis, epidermis
 Relationship with other organs-
 Works with the immune system to provide the body with the first layer of
defense against disease causing pathogens.
 Provides protection for the the organs of the digestive, respiratory,
circulatory, urinary, and nervous systems (can also be skeletal or immune)
 Works with the nervous system to control body temperature (sweating,
goose bumps)
 Medical Conditions




Warts
Basal cell carcinoma
Eczema
Acne
psoriasis
 System- helps fight off disease causing foreign
invaders
 Organs- lymph nodes, lymph vessels, white blood
cells
 Relationship with other organs Runs parallel to the circulatory system to transport
disease fighting white blood cells
 Medical Conditions Lymphomas
 Splenomegaly
 Multiple sclerosis (can also be considered nervous)
 Tonsillitis
 System- brings oxygen into the body, gets rid of excess
carbon dioxide
 Organs- lungs, bronchi, nose, alveoli, trachea,
diaphragm (also muscular), bronchioles
 Relationship with other organs Smooth muscle in the diaphragm help control
breathing (also muscular system)
 Works with the circulatory system to provide oxygen
to all the cells in the body and remove excess carbon
dioxide
 Medical Conditions Asthma
 Bronchitis
 COPD
 Emphysema
 Cystic fibrosis
 Pneumonia
 System- Transports oxygen, waste, nutrients, hormones, hear, etc.
around the body
 Organs- veins, arteries, heart, capillaries, red blood cells
 Relationship with other organs Works with the endocrine system to transport hormones


throughout the body
Works with the lymphatic/immune system to transport white
bloods cells to site of infection
Heartbeat is involuntary controlled by the nervous system
Works with the digestive system to absorb and deliver nutrients
to the cells
Works with the excretory system to filter waste out of blood for
removal
Works with the respiratory system to exchange oxygen and
carbon dioxide
 Medical Conditions Heart disease
 Deep vein thrombosis
 Atherosclerosis
 Aneurism
 Myocardial infarction
 System- filters blood and rids the body of waste material.
Maintains water and electrolyte balance in the body.
 Organs- kidneys, urethra, ureter, bladder
 Relationship with other organs Urination is caused by the contraction of muscle surrounding
the bladder
 Filters blood from the circulatory system of waste products so
they can be removed from the body
 Medical Conditions Acute renal failure
 Nephritis
 Cystitis
 Urinary incontinence
 Kidney stones
 System- breaks down food into smaller molecules and absorbs these nutrients
into the body
 Organs- large intestine, small intestine, stomach, gall balder, esophagus,
salivary glands, pancreas (also part of the endocrine), mouth, liver
 Relationship with other organs Works with the nervous system to trigger appetite
 Works with the muscular system to control the contractions of organs
responsible for breaking down food
 Works with the circularity system to deliver digested nutrients to cells
throughout the body
 Smooth muscle found in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large
intestine are responsible for the mechanical breakdown of food
 Works with the circulatory system to provide essential nutrients for all
organs in the body
 Medical Conditions GERD
 Irritable bowel syndrome
 Crohn’s disease
 Celiac disease
 System- produces sex cells; sperm (male) and eggs
(females). Provides suitable environment for the
development of unborn baby (females)
 Organs- uterus, testes, ovaries
 Relationship with other organs Works with the endocrine system to control the
production of sperm (males) and eggs (females)
 Requires the help of the muscular system during
childbirth. Muscles surrounding the uterus contract to
give birth.
 Medical Conditions infertility
