11 Systems of the Body Genesis 1:27 Man is created in the image of God
Circulatory and Respiratory • Circulatory system • Transports blood through the body • 4 main functions: • Fuel to the body • Waste to the liver and kidneys • Transport cells to fight disease • Transport hormones through the body
Organs in the Circulatory System • Heart – pumps blood • Arteries – carry oxygenated blood away from the heart • Veins – take blood back to the heart • Capillaries – carry blood from the arteries to the cells
Common Problems with Circulatory System • Anemia – shortage of red blood cells • Leukemia – form of cancer the effect white blood cells
Respiratory System • Group of passages that exchanges gases in order for the body to function properly • Main organ: Lungs take air in and exchange gases with the blood • Blood takes oxygen to the body (inhale) • Then carries away carbon dioxide (exhale)
Problems with Respiratory System • Common cold – effect ability to exchange gases efficiently • Pneumonia- infection of the lungs causing difficulty in breathing • Asthma – passages in the lungs swell and shrink making it difficult to breathe
Skeletal System • The combination of joints and connecting tissues (your body has 206 bones) • This system functions as a unit to protect your body and move your body. It also stores substances your body needs
Problems • Scoliosis – curvature of the spine • Bursitis – inflammation of the bursa sac which are located between bones • Arthritis – inflammation of joints • Injuries (fractures, dislocations, sprains)
The Muscular System • The group of tissues that makes your body parts move (over 600 muscles) • Muscle Tissue is either voluntary (you control) or involuntary (do not control)
Problems • Strain – overworking of muscle • Cramp – muscle will not relax • Bruise – broken blood vessels create a hematoma (bruise) • Pull or tear of a muscle
Digestive System • Organs that take in food and break it down
Problems • Indigestion – food is not totally digested • Nausea – motion, drugs, food contamination trigger vomiting center of the brain • Ulcer – sore in the lining of the stomach
Excretory System • To excrete (get rid of) waste from the body • Major Parts • Urinary tract – expels liquid waste • Large intestine – made up of several parts, but both liquid and solid waste pass through the 2.5 inch, 5 foot long intestine (large in diameter, not length when compared to small intestine)
Problems • Constipation – difficulty in passing solid waste • Diarrhea – opposite of constipation, solid waste is loose and full of liquid • Flatulence – “Gas”
Integumentary System • Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, oil glands • The skin is the largest organ of the body and provides protection and regulation of body temperature
Problems • Warts – small growths on skin caused by a virus • Calluses/corns – build up of thickened skin caused by friction • Cold Sores – caused by a virus • Skin Cancer – typically caused by overexposure to the sun
Immune System • To fight of intruders in your systems • Acts a defense mechanism against germs/diseases • Your body has some natural immunities that you are born with • Some immunities your acquire by being exposed to intruders
Problems • Allergies – person has become hypersensitive to an allergen • HIV – the disease that causes AIDS weakens the body’s ability to fight of disease
Nervous System • To maintain a stable internal environment through controlling the body parts so that they work as one flowing unit • Impulses can travel through your nervous system at a rate of 350 feet per second
Problems • Pinched nerve – when a part of the spine becomes displaced causing a squeeze on a nerve • Infections – polio, rabies • Epilepsy – brain disorder that causes a rapid firing of nerve actions
Endocrine System • The glands of the endocrine system secrete hormones to send messages to the cells in the body via the blood • Problems • Malfunctioning pituitary gland – releases too little or too many hormones • Thyroid glands – same as above • Diabetes – cannot process sugar properly
Reproductive System • God’s creation for the continuation of the human race • Main Organs • In Males, the reproductive organs lie outside the body • testes- produces sperm • Problems – testicular cancer
In Females, the reproductive organs lie within the body • Ovaries – organs that store eggs for reproduction • Eggs are release every month into the uterus, if sperm meets this egg, a pregnancy may occurr • Problems – premenstural syndrome (PMS) uncomfortable condition that includes moodiness due to headaches, cramps, tension, and depression • Cancer of female organs
