| The circulatory system: The circulatory system is responsible for transporting nutrients, minerals, and oxygen to the body's cells with the blood, and is also responsible for taking away wastes made by the cells (water and carbon dioxide). The lungs and the respiratory system is/are then responsible for removing the wastes from the body. Parts of the circulatory system: Heart Arteries Blood vessel Capillaries Veins |
| The excretory system: The excretory system is the system of the body that is responsible for removing waste from the blood and taking the waste out of the body. Parts of the excretory system: Liver Kidney Capillaries Bladder Ureters |
| The nervous system: The nervous system is run by the brain. The brain sends and receives electrical impulses through a network of nerves that runs throughout the body. Parts of the nervous system: Brain Nerves Nerve cells (neurons) Spinal cord |
| The endocrine system: The endocrine system is the system that produces hormones. The hormones are distributed to the rest of the body through the bloodstream. Parts of the endocrine system: Pituitary gland Pancreas Thyroid Hypothalamus Adrenals |
| The skeletal system: The skeletal system is a very important system. It gives your body support and determines how it�s shaped, allows your body to move, produces blood for the body (with the marrow), and stores excess nutrients until needed.
