SYSTEM FUNCTION ASSOCIATED ORGANS INTERACTION WITH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Skeletal System The skeletal system makes up the framework of the body and allows us to move when our muscles contract. It stores minerals (e.g. calcium, phosphorous) and releases them into the body when they are needed. The skeletal system also protects internal organs and produces blood cells. Bones (e.g., skull, vertebrae)
Different types of muscles enable motion, generate heat to maintain body temperature, move food through digestive tract and contract the heart. Muscles (smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscles)
The lymphatic system protects the body from infection. Adenoid, tonsils, thymus, lymph nodes, spleen
The digestive system stores and digests foods, transfers nutrients to the body, eliminates waste and absorbs water. Stomach, esophagus, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines
The urinary system eliminates waste products and maintains water balance and chemical balance. Bladder, urethra, kidney
The integumentary system reduces water loss, contains receptors that respond to touch, regulates body temperature, and protects the inside of the body from damage. Skin, hair
