The nervous system and the endocrine system directs the actions and functions of the body:
The nervous system and the endocrine system directs the actions and functions of the body:
The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends messages back and forth between the brain and the body. The brain is what controls all the body's functions. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back.

The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs. It uses hormones to control and coordinate your body's metabolism, energy level, reproduction, growth and development, and response to injury, stress, and mood.

The digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to remove waste from the body while also absorbing necessary nutrients and compounds:
The digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to remove waste from the body while also absorbing necessary nutrients and compounds:
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.

The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. It includes your airways, lungs and blood vessels. The muscles that power your lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts work together to move oxygen throughout the body and clean out waste gases like carbon dioxide.

The circulatory system also called the cardiovascular system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

Your circulatory system carries vital nutrients to the skeletal system and the muscular system:
Your circulatory system carries vital nutrients to the skeletal system and the muscular system:
The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals. The skeletal system is also called the musculoskeletal system.

The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.

Other important systems in your body include the urinary system and the lymphatic system:
Other important systems in your body include the urinary system and the lymphatic system:
The urinary system's function is to filter blood and create urine as a waste by-product. The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra. The body takes nutrients from food and converts them to energy.
The urinary system
The lymphatic system is a network of delicate tubes throughout the body. It drains fluid (lymph) that has leaked from the blood vessels into the tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream via the lymph nodes. The main role of the lymphatic system is managing the fluid levels in the body.
