How Many Body Systems Work Together

Digestion starts in mouth and it is going through several steps. Teeth which are a Mechanical digestion start tearing and crushing the food down into small pieces so that the food will smoothly run down our throat. The salivary glands are located underneath the back of our tongues and that’s what is creating our saliva. The saliva is the Chemical Digestion is helping soften the food in the mouth so it is easy to swallow. Also saliva is the first out of several chemicals that is breaking the food into smaller bits. The tongue is the muscle that works with the food and saliva to form something similar to balls that can be swallowed. Also tongue contains taste buds so that we know if the food is salt, sweet, sour or bitter. Esophangus is a simple transportation tube that is joining the throat with stomach. When swallowing we are closing a trap door in our throats called the epiglottis. By closing this trap we are preventing the food prom going to trachea and into our lungs. Also Food moves down the esophangus using muscles not gravity. Stomach is the first stop after the Esophangus. When the food gets into stomach the stomach uses chemicals to try to make the food smaller. These chemicals are called gastric juices and they include hydrochloric acid and enzymes. (Enzymes are

The small intestine continues breaking down the food and absorbs most of the nutrients. The liver and the pancreas release bile and enzymes into the small bowel to aid in this process. The small intestine joins the large intestine or large bowel, a muscular tube about five feet long. The first part of the large bowel, called the colon continues to absorb water and mineral nutrients from the food matter and serves as a storage place for waste matter. The waste matter left after this process goes into the rectum, the final 6 inches, or so of the large bowel. From there, it passes out of the body through the anus.

The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues and systems receive enough oxygen. Oxygen is required for cellular functions such as cell respiration. This is so the body’s organs and cells can work at fully; it is done by releasing chemical energy with in stored foods. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body organs and returns with deoxygenated blood.

The digestive system is made up of all different organs which starts at the mouth and finishes at the anus but on the way involves all other organs; these organs help to break down and absorb the food.

The body has different organs that work together and they make up a system such as the

All of the body systems rely on other systems in order to function. The circulatory system relies on the respiratory system for oxygen delivery. The respiratory system relies on the muscular system for inspiration and expiration. The immune system relies on the circulatory system for movement of cells that provide immune function. All systems rely on circulation for nutrients and on the nervous system for regulatory control. These are just a few examples of how each system is interconnected, there are many more instances. It is important to know the positioning of the organs in each body system because the location of an organ often relates directly to its function and its relationship with the organs around it. For example, digestive glands

There aren’t many compartments the food has to travel through. Food travels down the esophagus into the stomach, where it is met by stomach acid and food is broken down and passed through the small and large intestine, nutrients are absorbed, and the waste is

The digestive, cardiovascular and respiratory system are all interrelated in order to make the human body work effectively and efficiently. The cardiovascular system and the respiratory work together by performing gas exchange which is passing of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood flow and then the carbon dioxide passes trough the blood flow and is breathed out from the body. If gas exchange didn’t take place then it will result in the cells dying. There are many other body systems that interrelate with each other e.g. the nervous system is interrelated with the muscular system.

The human body is made up of several different types of systems. This means that each system is made up of a few organs, which synchronize with one another and work as a unit. Organs are unable to perform without the help of the other organs in their unit. All of the organs support one another to perform their functions.

The digestive system are organs converting food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body.

Respiratory System a. Organs • Trachea • Lung • Larynx b. Functions • Gas exchanging through the lungs • Supplying oxygen to all parts of the body • Larynx helps control breathing and swallowing 6. Digestive System a. Organs • Stomach • Liver • Large intestine b. Functions • Break down food into small units and these substances are distributed through our body • Eliminating indigestible food as feces • Liver filters out waste and turns it to bile. And this organ also figures out how much nutrient is going through the body and how many will be stored.

There are many kinds of body systems, working together to create a functioning body. Different body systems work with certain body systems, but all work together. Like, nervous system and muscular system, circulatory system and respiratory system, and so on.

I do agree that understanding body systems is the foundation for understanding other health conditions and diseases because when you understand how your body works it could help keeping the body and its systems in good condition to ensure a long and happy life. For example, when you truly understood how your heart works, you would start doing things that is best for your heart such as eating salmon because it has a good amount of omega-3s in it which is healthy for the heart. However, the environment around you also play an extremely important role because it could decide what is going to happen to your body. For example, when you know how your lung works, you will do your best to stay away from air pollution because it could suffered from

The digestive and excretory systems help the body with the wonderful task of food. The digestive system is composed of the stomach, mouth, liver, pancreas, and the large and small intestine. It digests food and provides the

The nervous system is divided into two major sections: There is the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
