Body System
B1 (Breathing, respiratory system)
B2 (Blood, Cardiovascular)
B3 (Brain, Neuromuscular)
B4 (Bladder, Urinary Tract)
B5 (Bowel, Gastrointestinal)
B6 (Bone, Musculoskeletal and integument)
Musculoskeletal System
The main role of the skeletal
system is to provide support
for the body, to protect
delicate internal organs and
to provide attachment sites
for the organs.
Major organ: Bones,
cartilage, tendons and
ligaments.
The main role of the
muscular system is to
provide movement.
Major Organ: skeletal
muscles and smooth muscle
throughout the body.
Circulatory System
Main Role: to transport
nutrients, gases (such as
oxygen and CO2),
hormones and wastes
through the body.
Major organ: heart, blood
vessels and blood.
Nervous System
Major Role:
to relay electrical signals
through the body. The
nervous system directs
behavior and move and
along with the endocrine
system, controls
physiological processes
such as digestion,
circulation etc.
Major Organ:
Brain, spinal cord and
peripheral nerves.
Respiratory System
Main Role:
to provide gas exchange
between the blood and the
environment. Primarily,
oxygen is absorbed from the
atmosphere into the body
and carbon dioxide is
expelled from the body.
Major Organ: Nose, trachea
and lungs.
Digestive System
Main Role: to breakdown and
absorb nutrients that are
necessary for growth and
maintenance.
Major Organs: Mouth,
esophagus, stomach, small and
large intestines.
Excretory System
Main Role: to filter out
cellular wastes, toxins and
excess water or nutrients
from the circulatory system.
Major Organ: kidneys,
ureter, bladder and urethra.
Endocrine System
Main Role: to relay chemical
massages through the body. In
conjunction with the nervous
system, these chemical
messages help control
physiological processes such
as nutrient absorption, growth
etc.
Major Organs: Many glands
exist in the body that secrete
endocrine hormones. Among
these are the hypothalamus,
pituitary, thyroid, pancreas
and adrenal glands.
Reproductive system
• Main Role:
to manufacture cells that
allow reproductive. In the
male, sperm are created
to inseminate egg cells
produced in the female.
• Major Organs:
Male (top): testes, seminal
vesicles and penis.
Female (Bottom): Ovaries,
oviducts, uterus, vagina
and mammary glands.
