Interacting Body Systems
Target: Provide evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems

System
Organs of this
Body System
Normal
Functions
Cardiac muscles,
skeletal muscles,
smooth muscles
provide strength,
balance,
posture,
movement and
heat for the body
to keep warm
organs that
converts food
into nutrients
that are
absorbed into
the body and
moves the
unused waste
material out
Take in oxygen
through
breathing/cellular
respiration and
expel carbon
dioxide
Mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small
intestine, large
intestine/ colon
(rectum and anus),
liver, pancreas,
gallbladder
Nasal cavity (nose),
trachea, bronchi,
lungs, diaphragm
heart
Circulatory
System
Excretory/
Urinary
System
Nervous
System
2 kidneys, ureter,
bladder, urethra
Brain, spinal cord,
sensory organs
(sight, smell, hearing,
taste, touch)
Propels blood
throughout the
body
Kidneys remove
waste from blood
cells and forms
urine that is
passed by the
body.
Collects
information
internally and
externally and
dispatches
instructions for
how the body is
to respond

Smooth muscle
found in the
esophagus,

small and large
intestines
Smooth musclediaphragm
Cardiac muscleheart and smooth
muscle located in
veins and arteries
Smooth muscle- bladder
Provides the
diaphragm nutrients
to facilitate
breathing/cellular
respiration
Provides the heart
with nutrients so it
can continue to
beat
Provides nutrients so
the kidneys can clean
your blood of wastes
produced by all the
other systems
Provides
protection for the
impulses sent
down through the
body from the
brain
Provides energy
for the brain to all
the thinking and
controlling of all
the other systems
Provides the
oxygen that is
carried by red
blood cells to all
the parts of the
body; remove
CO2 and H2O that
heart cells make
Provides oxygen so the
excretory system can
clean the blood of waste
products; remove CO2
and H2O produced as a
waste product
Provides nutrients
for muscles to do
work
X
Provide oxygen
so muscles can
go and do work;
remove CO2 and
H2O that muscle
cells produce as
waste
Provide oxygen
needed for
digestion; remove
CO2 and H2O that
cells produce as a
waste product
Moves oxygen
and glucose
around so cells
can do work;
moves waste to
be disposed by
the body
Cleans the blood
of waste products
produced by the
muscular system
Moves oxygen and
glucose around so
cells can do work;
moves waste to be
disposed by the
body
Moves oxygen and
glucose around so
cells can do work;
moves waste to be
disposed by the
body
Cleans the blood of
waste products
produced by the
digestive system
Cleans the blood of
waste products
produced by the
respiratory system
Cleans the blood
of waste products
produced by the
circulatory system
The Medulla
controls involuntary
muscles movement
for digestion;
spinal cord delivers
the messages from
the brain to the rest
of the body
The Medulla
controls involuntary
muscles movement
for breathing; spinal
cord delivers the
messages from the
brain to the rest of
the body
The Medulla
controls
involuntary
muscles
movement for
heart to beat;
spinal cord
delivers the
messages from
the brain to the
rest of the body
cerebrum controls
movement and
cerebellum
controls voluntary
movement; spinal
cord delivers the
messages from
the brain to the
rest of the body

Moves oxygen and

The Medulla controls
involuntary muscles
movement for cleaning
of blood and urination;
spinal cord delivers the
messages from the
brain to the rest of the
body
Provides oxygen
so the brain to
think and control
all the other
systems of the
body; remove
CO2 and H2O that
brain cells
produce as a
waste product
Moves oxygen

around so cells
can do work;
