The excretory system relies on the circulatory system to transport waste products from tissues to the kidneys for filtration from the blood. It also works with the integumentary system as sweat glands aid in waste removal through the skin. The digestive system produces waste that

4. The Digestive System
Function: to convert food particles into simple
molecules that can be absorbed into the blood
and used by the body
Major Organs and their Functions:
Mouth – to chew and grind up food (mechanical)
-- amylase in the saliva begins the chemical breakdown
Esophagus – pipe connecting mouth to stomach
Stomach – secretes pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down food.
The stomach has a pH of 2.

5. •SMALL INTESTINE – AFTER DIGESTION IS COMPLETE, THE
CHYME (PROCESSED STOMACH CONTENTS) ENTERS THE
SMALL INTESTINE WHERE IT IS ABSORBED INTO THE
BLOODSTREAM BY THE HELP OF SMALL HAIRS CALLED VILLI.

6. • LARGE INTESTINE – REMOVES WATER FROM THE CHYME AND GETS THE WASTE
READY FOR EXCRETION
THE NUTRIENTS THAT ARE ABSORBED DURING DIGESTION TRAVEL INTO THE
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM TO BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE BODY!

7. Liver – produces bile, which breaks down fats in foods. This is an
accessory organ.
Gallbladder – pouch-like organ that stores bile for future use

8. The Digestive System
Bacteria in the intestines of cows, ruminants and other
animals helps digestion take place by breaking down
food.

9. EXPLAIN HOW THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORKS
CLOSELY WITH THE:
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

10. The Respiratory System
Function: to provide the body with a fresh supply of oxygen for
cellular respiration and remove the waste product carbon dioxide

11. MAJOR ORGANS
•NOSE – INTERNAL ENTRY AND EXIT POINT FOR AIR
•TRACHEA – THE “WINDPIPE”
•BRONCHIAL TUBES – THE TWO LARGE PASSAGEWAYS THAT LEAD
FROM THE TRACHEA TO YOUR LUNGS (ONE FOR EACH LUNG)
•ALVEOLI – CLUSTERS OF TINY SACS WHERE GASES ARE EXCHANGED
WITH THE BLOODSTREAM.

12. Diaphragm - the muscle that causes you to breath
Cilia – tiny hairs that line the air passages that trap tiny particles

13. The Circulatory System
Function: to deliver oxygen to the body and brain; to deliver
nutrients from the digestive system.

14. Image of the Circulatory System

15. MAJOR ORGANS
• HEART – THE MAJOR MUSCLE OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
• PUMPS BLOOD THROUGH ITS FOUR CHAMBERS (TWO VENTRICLES AND TWO
ATRIA)
• PUMPS DEOXYGENATED BLOOD INTO THE LUNGS, WHERE IT GETS OXYGENATED,
RETURNS IT TO THE HEART, AND THEN PUMPS OUT THROUGH THE AORTA TO THE
REST OF THE BODY
• VALVES REGULATE THE FLOW OF BLOOD BETWEEN THE CHAMBERS

17. Arteries – carry blood away from the heart and to the major organs
of the body
Veins – carry blood back to the heart away from the major organs
of the body
Capillaries – small blood vessels (one cell thick) where gas
exchange occurs, connects arteries and veins

18. RED BLOOD CELLS: CONTAIN HEMOGLOBIN; CARRIES OXYGEN
THROUGHOUT BODY
WHITE BLOOD CELLS: FIGHT DISEASE
PLATELETS: FRAGMENTS THAT HELP BLOOD CLOT
PLASMA: LIQUID PART OF THE BLOOD

19. • HEMOGLOBIN IS A PROTEIN IN RED BLOOD CELLS THAT
CARRIES OXYGEN THROUGHOUT THE BODY.

21. EXERCISE AND

23. REPRODUCTIVE AND ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

24. BELL RINGER
HEALTH-CARE WORKERS ARE EXPOSED TO
MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATHOGENIC
AND NONPATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS.
WHICH BODY SYSTEMS WORK TOGETHER
TO PROTECT THE BODY FROM PATHOGENS?
A MUSCULAR AND VASCULAR
B DIGESTIVE AND EXCRETORY
C CIRCULATORY AND IMMUNE
D ENDOCRINE AND REPRODUCTIVE

25. •FUNCTION: THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM HELPS
HUMANS REPRODUCE AND ENSURES THE SURVIVAL
OF THE SPECIES.
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

26. •THE PRIMARY FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS ARE
THE OVARIES, AND THE PRIMARY MALE
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS ARE THE TESTES.
•OVARIES PRODUCE THE FEMALE HORMONES
ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE AND
THE TESTES PRODUCE TESTOSTERONE.

27. •THROUGH MEIOSIS, THE FEMALE (EGGS) AND
MALE (SPERM) GAMETES ARE PRODUCED. THEY
HAVE HALF THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES AS
OTHER CELLS (HAPLOID).
•WHEN AN EGG AND SPERM FUSE,
FERTILIZATION TAKES PLACE AND A ZYGOTE IS
FORMED. IT DEVELOPS INTO AN EMBRYO WHICH
BECOMES A BABY.
•SPERM CELLS HAVE FLAGELLA
• FOR MOVEMENT

28. • EACH MONTH, AN EGG IS RELEASED BY ONE OF THE 2 OVARIES. IF FERTILIZATION
OCCURS, IT WILL OCCUR IN THE OVIDUCT.
• THE FERTILIZED EGG (ZYGOTE) TRAVELS TO THE UTERUS AND IMPLANTS INTO
THE UTERINE WALL. THE FETUS WILL DEVELOP IN THE UTERUS FOR 9 MONTHS.

29. The Endocrine System
Function: to control growth, development,
metabolism and reproduction through the
production and secretion of hormones

30. Major Organs
Pancreas: secretes insulin which regulates blood
sugar
Pituitary gland (brain): secretes growth hormone
Thyroid: regulates metabolism
Adrenal Glands: prepare body for fight or flight
Testes & Ovaries: produce sex hormones

Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs
between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a
pursuing coyote?
F The skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory
system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for
contraction.
G The digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory
system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrients.
H The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory
system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.
J The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune
system to deal with possible injuries.
