Organ Systems
An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform specific functions in the body. The human body has several organ systems, each with its own unique set of functions and structures.
Study Guide for Organ Systems:
- Integumentary System: This system includes the skin, hair, and nails. It protects the body from external damage and helps regulate body temperature.
- Skeletal System: Comprised of bones, cartilage, and ligaments, this system provides support, protection, and movement for the body.
- Muscular System: Consists of skeletal muscles, tendons, and ligaments, this system allows for movement, posture maintenance, and heat production.
- Respiratory System: Involves the lungs, trachea, and diaphragm, and is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
- Circulatory System: Comprised of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, it transports nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to cells throughout the body and removes waste products.
- Immune System: This system includes the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes, and works to protect the body from diseases and infections.
- Digestive System: Involves the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, and is responsible for breaking down and absorbing nutrients from food.
- Excretory System: Consists of the kidneys, bladder, and urethra, and is responsible for removing waste products from the body.
- Endocrine System: Comprises glands such as the pituitary and thyroid, and regulates bodily functions through the secretion of hormones.
- Reproductive System: Involves the ovaries, testes, and reproductive organs, and is responsible for the production of offspring.
- Nervous System: This system includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and controls sensation, movement, and thought processes.
Understanding the interplay between these organ systems is crucial for comprehending how the human body functions as a whole.

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Design a solution to a human problem by using materials to imitate how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs (e.g., outerwear imitating animal furs for insulation, gear mimicking tree bark or shells for protection).
