=**What are the Body Systems?**=

The [|digestive system] consists of a series of connected organs that together, allow the body to break down and absorb food, and remove waste. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. The liver and pancreas also play a role in the system because they produce digestive juices.

The [|endocrine system] consists of eight major glands that secrete hormones into the blood. These hormones, in turn, travel to different tissues and regulate various bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth and sexual function.

The [|immune system] is the body's defense against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that may be harmful. It includes lymph nodes, the spleen, bone marrow, lymphocytes (including B-cells and T-cells), the thymus and leukocytes, which are white blood cells.

The [|lymphatic system] includes lymph nodes, lymph ducts and lymph vessels, and also plays a role in the body's defenses. Its main job is to make is to make and move lymph, a clear fluid that contains white blood cells, which help the body fight infection. The lymphatic also removes excess lymph fluid from bodily tissues, and returns it to the blood.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The [|nervous system] controls both voluntary action (like conscious movement) and involuntary actions (like breathing), and sends signals to different parts of the body. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that connect every other part of the body to the central nervous system.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The body's [|muscular system] consists of about 650 muscles that aid in movement, blood flow and other bodily functions. There are three types of muscle: skeletal muscle which is connected to bone and helps with voluntary movement, smooth muscle which is found inside organs and helps to move substances through organs, and cardiac muscle which is found in the heart and helps pump blood.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Our bodies are supported by the [|skeletal system], which consists of 206 bones that are connected by tendons, ligaments and cartilage. The skeleton not only helps us move, but it's also involved in the production of blood cells and the of calcium. The teeth are also part of the skeletal system, but they aren't considered bones.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The [|respiratory system] allows us to take in vital oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in a process we call breathing. It consists mainly of the trachea, the diaphragm and the lungs.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The [|urinary system] helps eliminate a waste product called urea from the body, which is produced when certain foods are broken down. The whole system includes two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder, two sphincter muscles and the urethra. Urine produced by the kidneys travels down the ureters to the bladder, and exits the body through the urethra.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The skin, or <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #0099cc; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|integumentary system] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #666666; font-family: 'Open sans',sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, is the body's largest organ. It protects us from the outside world, and is our first defense against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Our skin also helps regulate body temperature and eliminate waste through perspiration. In addition to skin, the integumentary system includes hair and nails.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; font-family: lev_serifhandcut; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Systems

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Several systems in the human body work together to help keep it functioning normally. These systems are the skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urinary, endocrine, lymphatic, immune, reproductive and the nervous. When something goes wrong in one system, it most likely will affect another system. The best way to protect oneself from infections and disease is to live a healthy life by exercising and eating healthy foods.

> > ==<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; font-family: lev_serifhandcut; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;">Skeletal and Muscular Systems ==
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The nervous system has total control over all other systems. Systems of the body respond to signals sent out by the brain, which are delivered through the spinal cord. The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The skeletal system provides protection for the nervous system; the skull is a protective carriage that encases the brain. Bones in the spine protect the spinal cord. The skeletal system works closely with the muscular system to provide form, support and to help people move. The skeletal system also provides protection for the heart, lungs and kidneys.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; font-family: lev_serifhandcut; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;">Digestive System

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The digestive system works closely with all other systems to provide food and energy to all body parts. It provides nutrients to systems to help them grow and function normally. This system consists of the stomach and large intestines.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; font-family: lev_serifhandcut; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;">Respiratory System

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The respiratory system also works closely with all other systems of the body. The respiratory system provides oxygen for all body parts. It also removes carbon dioxide from the muscular, digestive, skeletal, circulatory, urinary and nervous systems. This system includes the nose, larynx, trachea and the lungs.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; font-family: lev_serifhandcut; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;">Circulatory System

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The circulatory system helps move oxygen through the body created by the respiratory system. This system also has the task of moving wastes that need to be disposed of. This system includes the heart, veins, arteries, capillaries and blood.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444b51; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">The urinary system also works closely with all other systems of the body. It is used to clean blood from the body. This system cleans waste products from the skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems. The system includes the kidneys and lower intestines.
