An archetype of a system: The afraid system. This basal diagram shows that this arrangement is fabricated up of 4 altered basal organs: the
brain , the
cerebellum , the
spinal cord , and the
nerves .
In biology , a Biological system (or Organ system ) is a accumulation of organs that plan calm to accomplish a assertive task. Common systems, such as those present in mammals and added animals, apparent in human anatomy , are those such as the circulatory system , the respiratory system , the nervous system , etc.
A accumulation of systems composes an organism , e.g. the human body .
Human systems Humans accept a array of systems due to the complication of the species' organism. These specific systems are broadly advised in Human anatomy . "Human" systems are aswell present in abounding added animals.
Circulatory system : pumping and channeling blood to and from the body and lungs with heart , blood and blood vessels .Digestive system : digestion and processing aliment with salivary glands , esophagus , stomach , liver , gallbladder , pancreas , intestines , rectum and anus .Endocrine system : advice aural the physique application hormones fabricated by endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus , pituitary or pituitary gland, pineal body or pineal gland, thyroid , parathyroids and adrenals , i.e., adrenal glands.Integumentary system : skin , hair , fat , and nails .Lymphatic system : structures complex in the alteration of lymph amid tissues and the blood stream , the lymph and the nodes and vessels that carriage it including the Immune system : arresting adjoin disease -causing agents with leukocytes , tonsils , adenoids , thymus and spleen .Muscular system : movement with muscles .Nervous system : collecting, appointment and processing advice with brain , spinal cord , peripheral nerves and nerves .Reproductive system : the sex organs , such as ovaries , fallopian tubes , uterus , vagina , mammary glands , testes , vas deferens , seminal vesicles , prostate and penis .Respiratory system : the organs acclimated for breathing , the pharynx , larynx , trachea , bronchi , lungs and diaphragm .Skeletal system : structural abutment and aegis with bones , cartilage , ligaments and tendons .Urinary system : kidneys , ureters , bladder and urethra complex in aqueous balance, electrolyte antithesis and elimination of urine .Endocannabinoid system : neuromodulatory lipids and receptors complex in a array of physiological processes including appetite , pain-sensation, mood , motor learning , synaptic plasticity , and memory .
