Compare the Major Systems

of the Human Body

By:Bryce Miller and Javan Joyner
Digestive System
Function of the system necessary for life:

The job of this system is to break down food so it can be

used by the body.

Organs in the system:

Stomach
Small intestine
Large intestine
mouth

Interesting fact: Only healthy foods are digested to make energy

.
 Diagram of Circulatory System

Circulatory System
Function of the system necessary for life:

The job of the circulatory system is to carry oxygen,food

and waste throughout the body.

Organs in the system:

Heart
Blood Vessels
Blood

Interesting fact:The heart pumps blood all throughout your body!

 Respiratory System
Function of the system necessary for life:
A diagram of the
Respiratory
The job of this system is to take in oxygen from air that you System
breath.

Organs in the system:

Lungs
Nose
Trachea

Interesting fact: underneath the lungs there are a thin sheet

called diaphragm.
Nervous System
Function of the system necessary for life:

The job of this system is to control all the other body

systems.

Organs in the system:

brain
Nerves
Spinal cord

Interesting fact: The nervous system sends messages to the

brain to help move and control all body parts
Skeletal System
Skeletal System
Function of the system necessary for life:

The job of this system is to give us our shape and protect

some of our organs and makes blood cells

Organs in the system:

pelvis
cranium
Ribs

Interesting fact: The skeletal system give us our shape and

gives us shape but it needs the muscular system to move.
Muscular System
Function of the system necessary for life:

The job of this system is to move our bones by pulling

them.Also our ligaments are the main parts that move our
bones

Parts in the system:

Muscles
Ligaments
Tendons

Interesting fact: The ligaments are what pulls our bones to

produce movement.
How do the systems work together to maintain the
health and fitness of the human body?`
Provide at least 3 detailed examples of how the body systems work together.

1. The skeletal system and muscular system work together because the muscular system helps
those bones move. The ligaments are the body part that mainly makes our bones move.

2. The respiratory system works with the circulatory system because the respiratory helps us
breathe in oxygen and the circulatory brings the oxygen into our blood.

3. Our nervous,skeletal and muscular systems all work together because the nervous system
sends a message to help our muscles know to move our bones .Then the muscles moves our
bones to help our body move.
