The human body is made up of systems. These systems that have different functions and work together to maintain the body's homeostasis.
Organ systems work together to perform specific functions. The structure of the system complements the function of the system. All systems must interact with one or more systems to maintain homeostasis. There are many organs that are shared between two or more body systems.
Circulatory system- transports nutrients and wastes using the heart and blood vessels.
Respiratory system- exchanges gases with the environment using lungs and diaphragm.
Skeletal system- supports the body using bones, ligaments, and tendons.
Muscular system- movement of the body using muscles.
Digestive system- breaks down food so it can be used by the body using mouth, stomach, and intestines.
Excretory system- removes wastes from the body using kidneys, intestines, skin, etc.
Reproductive system- allows humans to create offspring using reproductive organs.
Integumentary system- protects internal organs using the skin and helps regulate body temperature.
Nervous system- controls the body using the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Endocrine system- maintains balance by glands releasing hormones; regulates growth and development.

Body Systems Interactions
This is a link to a video that discusses the systems of the human body, with an emphasis on how the systems influence each other. It also explains how diabetes is an example of the body being out of balance or homeostasis. |
