Tissues are formed by many cells
together. They are the smallest
working units of organs.
Organs are collections of tissues and
have many functions
Whole Body Systems are made up of
organs all working together to meet
the body’s needs!
Nervous System
Respiratory System
Circulatory System
Digestive System
Reproductive System
Urinary System
Mouth: Where food enters
Teeth: Grind down the food to small particles
Thyroid Gland: Gland near the esophagus that
produces hormones related to eating
Esophagus: Long tube that pushes food down to
stomach
Stomach: Stomach acids and enzymes break down
the food
Pancreas: Connected to stomach that excretes
hormones to the body
Liver: Rids toxins from your food
Gall Bladder: Stores bile that the liver uses
Small Intestine: Enzymes take all of the nutrients
from the food and transport them back to the body
Large Intestine: Removes all moisture from the food
leaving only waste
Rectum: Where waste is stored
Anus: Valve that expels waste
Nasal Cavity: Where air enters
Pharynx: Divides the trachea
(wind pipe) and esophagus (food
pipe)
Larynx: Voice Box
Trachea: Wind Pipe (air travels to
lungs)
Lungs: Transports blood and
oxygen throughout the body
Bronchi: Two tubes connecting
to each lung
Bronchioles: Sacks in the lungs
that get air to all parts of the
lungs
Diaphgram: Band of muscles
under lungs that help deep
breathing
Kidneys: Organs that filter
the blood and remove waste
from the urine
Bladder: Temporary storage
for the urine
Ureter: Small tube that
carries urine from the kidney

Heart: Organ that is the central
stations for transportation of
blood and oxygen throughout
body
Aorta: major blood vessel leading
straight to the heart
Arteries: Major blood vessels that
transport blood throughout the
body
Brain: Center of the nervous
system. Controls all of the other
systems in the body.
Cerebellum: Above the brainstem,
controls movement, balance,
equillibrium and muscles
Motor Cortex: Part in the
cerebrum (from of brain) that
controls all movements
Nerves: Bundles of cables
throughout the body that control
