Function- Holds organs in place, provides structural
support, stores minerals and generates new blood cells
Organs- periosteum, cartilage, joint, and ligament
periosteum- contains blood vessels that transport nutrients
into the bone
Cartilage- tough, flexible tissue similar to bone but is softer
and less brittle
Joint- any place where 2 or more bones come together; can
be movable or immovable
Ligament- holds bones together at joints
The skeletal system does not interact with any other system
Function- Circulates blood through body, supplies oxygen and
nutrients, and removes waste
Organs- atrium, ventricle, artery, vein, and capillary
Atrium-contract at the same time during a heartbeat (upper
chambers)
Ventricle- contract at the same time during a heartbeat (lower
chambers)
Artery- blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart
Vein- blood vessel that carries blood back to the heart
Capillary- microscopic blood vessel that connects arteries and
veins
The Circulatory System interacts with The Respiratory System
Function- when you breathe, the air you inhale supplies oxygen to the
blood and gets rid of carbon dioxide
Organs- pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, alveoli, and diaphragm
Pharynx- provides a passage way for food, liquid, and air
Larynx- provides an airway for oxygen from the vocal cords
Trachea- air-conducting tube that connects the larynx with the bronchi
Bronchi- carries air into the lungs
Alveoli- area where carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange take place
Diaphragm- contracts and relaxes to move gasses in and out of the
body
The Respiratory system interacts with The Circulatory System and the
Digestive System
Function- Breaks down food to make absorption into the body
possible
Organs- enzyme, peristalsis, and villi
Enzyme- Speeds up the rate of Chemical Reactions in the body
Peristalsis- waves of muscular contractions that move food
through the Digestive system
Villi- increases the surface area for absorption of nutrient
molecules
The Digestive System does not interact with any other system

Function- Regulates body by secreting hormones into the
bloodstream
Organs- Hormone
Hormones- can speed up or slow down cellular activities
The Endocrine System does not interact with any other
system
