The human body contains 11 organ systems, each with specialised functions that support life, movement, protection, communication and internal balance.
🧠 Nervous system — sensation, cognition and motor responses
❤️ Cardiovascular system — transport of oxygen, nutrients and waste
🫁 Respiratory system — gas exchange
🍎 Digestive system — nutrient absorption and waste elimination
🧬 Endocrine system — growth, metabolism and reproduction
💧 Urinary system — waste removal and fluid balance
🛡️ Integumentary system — protection and temperature regulation
💪 Muscular system — movement and posture
🦴 Skeletal system — support, movement and calcium storage
🦠 Lymphatic system — immunity and fluid return
♀️♂️ Reproductive system — gametes, hormones and reproduction
Although each system has its own role, none works entirely alone. Together, they help maintain homeostasis and keep the body functioning effectively.
