Human anatomy
Nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, integumentary system, lymphatic (immune)
system, skeletal system, muscular system, respiratory system, urinary (renal) system, reproductive
system,
1. ____________ system – The system carries blood to all parts of the body. It is also called circulatory
system. It consists of the heart and vessels. There are three main types of vessels: arteries, veins and
capillaries. The arteries carry oxygenated blood with nutrients to the tissues, and veins transport
deoxygenated blood with waste materials back. The heart is the key organ in the circulatory system. It
usually beats from 60 to 100 times per minute and it pumps blood around the body. The blood consists
of red and white blood cells and platelets.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Many people suffer from high
blood pressure (= hypertension), they have more than 140/90 mm Hg (140 over 90 millimetres of
mercury). Other diseases of the cardiovascular system are heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis,
abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), heart valve disease and varicose veins.
Cardiologists are specialists who diagnose, treat and prevent disease of the heart, arteries and veins.
2. ____________ system – The system converts food into energy. We chew the food in the mouth,
where the food mixes with saliva. Then we swallow it. Stomach digests the food and it goes to the
small and large intestine. The waste products go away through the anus. Salivary glands, liver,
pancreas and gallbladder help with the ingestion and digestion of food.
3. ____________ system – The system consists of ductless glands. These glands produce hormones
and secrete them into the blood or lymph. The hormones regulate mood, growth, metabolism and
reproductive processes.
4. ____________ system – This system covers the body and it consists of the skin (the largest organ in
the body), hair and hairs, nails and sweat glands. It protects tissue from injury, bacteria and viruses. It
regulates body temperature and prevents dehydration.
5. ____________ system – This system sends signals around the body and helps people respond to
what is around them. It regulates and coordinates activities of the body, such as breathing, digesting
and heartbeat. It consists of the brain, the spinal cord and nerves.
