The human organ systems each have specific life processes and functions. There are seven main organ systems: skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive. Each system works to either acquire materials and energy, transport materials, exchange gases, coordinate body activities, protect the body from disease, or produce offspring. Together, the organ systems work to keep the human body functioning.

The Human Organ System
ERYTHROPOIETIN Skeletal Life process acquires materials & energy Specific functions provides rigid framework for body movement supports & protects internal parts produces blood cells stores minerals
Muscular Life process acquires materials & energy Specific functions produces body movements produces body heat maintains posture & supports the body
Digestive life process acquires materials & energy specific functions digests food into small molecules & absorbs these molecules
Respiratory life process exchanges gasses specific functions exchanges gases between external environment & blood maintains blood pH by excreting carbon dioxide
Circulatory life process transports materials specific functions transports nutrients & oxygen to & metabolic wastes from cells distributes hormones protects against injury & microbes
Excretory life process excretes wastes
specific functions maintains volume & chemical composition of blood & tissue fluid
Lymphatic life process protects the body from disease specific functions transports excess tissue fluid to bloodstream transports fat to blood helps provide immunity against disease
Nervous life process coordinates body activities specific functions along with endocrine system regulates body systems learning & memory
Endocrine life process coordinates body activities specific functions secretes hormones that regulate body metabolism, growth, & reproductive system
Reproductive life process produces offspring specific functions male produces hormones & sperm transfers sperm to female
female produces hormones & egg provides site for fertilization of egg, implantation & development of embryo & fetus
