Circulatory, Integumentary And Immune System

Our body is composed of complicated and intricate systems that work together to keep us alive and able to move and process the things we find to be simple such as breathing or blinking. There are 11 systems in our body, each in charge of something different and supplying support to the other. Those 11 systems are the, nervous, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, excretory, integumentary and immune systems. I will address every system in the human body as well as provide examples of how it helps you survive or produce the way you do. We start with the nervous system and its functions. Many people understand the importance of the well-known nervous system. The central nervous system and peripheral
As state prior, the circulatory system is made up of the vessels that carry the blood throughout the body. The oxygen that is within the blood as well as our breathing is the by-product of our respiratory system at work. Anything related to breathing and the use of the oxygen we take in is all part of this system. Our digestive system takes the food we eat and breaks it down for the nutrients within it (Zaykoski 2011). From our mouth to our stomach and through the intestines or digestive system is in constant work. The small and large intestines are where the nutrients are removed from the fuel. Even the process of our body pushing the remaining “waste” to the rectum and releasing it from our body is a part of the system. The endocrine system is a little more discreet in its workings. Regulating hormones, body temperature as well as metabolism, the endocrine system is somewhat harder to detect. Our growing from adolescents to adults is all in thanks to this system. How fast our bodies can burn calories and our initial growth and development are handled
Finger nails, hair follicles, as well as the glands that produce our body odor are within this system. It assists the digestive system with absorbing nutrients and regulation body temperature. This system makes up 12 to 15 percent of our body weight (Zaykoski 2011). Finally we reach the immune system and the importance it holds. Meant to fight off any foreign bacteria, the immune system protects from smaller, harmful organisms. The immune system seems to have a mind of its own, locating these organisms and copying their data and destroying them. This process allows us to be exposed to the same viruses and germs numerous times without getting sick over and over again. With the information provided, there is no possible way for any of us to determine what system is more important than the other. They all have their individual jobs that keep us alive. Not only that, they also work together, providing the needed assistance to perform their task flawlessly. If one system fails, it is safe to same most, if not all do as
