Introduction

In this slide show I will point out the main
functions of the body systems and how
they all work together. I hope you enjoy
this and learn a lot.
The Skeletal System
Introduction

I will explain the main functions of the
skeletal system. As well as how it works
with other body systems.
The Main Function of the Skeletal
System

The main function of the skeleton is
support for the body, and movement. The
skeletal system works with the muscular
system to allow movement and flexibility.
Diseases
In the skeletal system you can get
diseases such as:
 Bone Cancer
 Paget’s Disease
 Osteoporosis and
 Arthritis

The Muscular System
The Function of The Muscular
System

The purpose of the muscular system is to
allow movement and flexibility of the body.
The muscular system works with the
skeletal system so that the body will have
structure, and move properly.

In the muscular system you can have diseases
such as:
Myopathy
Fibromyalgia
Compartment Syndromes
Tendinitis
Myasthenia
Ataxia
McArdle Syndrome
Polymyositis
The Respiratory System
The Purpose of the Respiratory
System

The purpose of the respiratory system is to
take in oxygen (o2) from the air you
breathe and get rid of carbon dioxide (co2)
so that your body will stay healthy. The
respiratory system works with the
circulatory system to distribute blood and
oxygen throughout the body.
The Circulatory System
The Purpose of the Circulatory
System

The purpose of the circulatory system is to
distribute blood throughout the body. The
circulatory system works with the
respiratory system to spread oxygen and
blood through the body.
Diseases
There are diseases found in the circulatory
system, such as:
 Arteriosclerosis
 Atherosclerosis
 Hypertension/high blood pressure
 Rheumatic Fever

The Digestive System
The Main Function of the Digestive
System

The function of the digestive system is to
allow us to eat and get rid of waste. It
works with the circulatory system to
distribute nutrients throughout your body.
Diseases
You can find diseases in the digestive
system, such as:
 Celiac Disease
 Irritable Bowel Syndrome
 Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The Nervous System
The Main Function of the Nervous
System

The purpose of the nervous system is to
send messages to your brain right away
so you know when something happens
and what is happening. The nervous
system works with the systems of the body
to send messages to them to move or do
other things.

There are diseases in the nervous system, such
as:
Bell’s Palsy
Cerebal Palsy
Myalgic Encephalomyalitis
Neuralgia
Neuritis
Parkinson’s Disease
Sciatica
Conclusion

In conclusion I would say that the way that
the body systems were created to work
together is amazing. And I will always try
to stay healthy and take care of my body.
