Skin
Protects our body from harmful bacteria also controls body temperature and has ability to heal itself. All over our musculoskeletal system
Excretory
Heart
A muscle that contracts regularly and continuously, pumping blood to the body and lungs. The pumping action flows that repeats itself in a cycle. located just behind and slightly left of the breastbone.
Cardiovascular
Lungs
We have two lungs, which supply our bodies with the vital oxygen needed for our bodies to function properly. They are also responsible for getting rid of waste product carbon dioxide. they are both located inside your rib cage, protected by the rib bones.
Respiratory
Brain
Main control centre for our body, which is responsible for all functions within the body, whether under voluntary act or involuntary control. The brain is located in the skull.
Nervous
Eyes
Are moved by muscles, which allow us to look up and down and from side to side without moving our heads. Normally both eyes form a picture on the retina, which is then interpreted by the brain. Are located on both sides of the nose, and above the face cheeks, and below the eyebrows.
Nervous
Ears
Organs of hearing and balance. Our ears have three sections. Noise or sound enter our ears and are channelled down the canal until reach our eardrum. The ears are located on either side of the head

Stomach
A food bag that stores, warms and softens food and drink. It is able to expand and contract in response to how much it contains. It changes solids into fluid to promote digestion. Is located on the left side of the upper abdomen.
Digestive
Pancreas
Produces digestive juices (enzymes) that continue the process of breaking down foods that begin in the stomach. Also produces hormones and insulin, which controls the balance of glucose between the blood and rest of body. Located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach and level with the top of the small intestine.
Digestive
Intestines
Small
In the small intestine the food mixes with vital enzymes secreted by the liver and pancreas. Fats and proteins are mainly digested in the small intestine. Located is coiled in the centre of the abdominal cavity. It is held in place by two membrane sheets attached to the walls of the abdominal cavity.
Digestive
Intestines
Large
Receives the end products of the digestive process where water and other nutrients are absorbed. Waste products to be excreted are stored in the end section known as the rectum. Located takes up a lot of room in the

Female Reproductive System And Nervous System

The organ systems that I choose to discuss were the female reproductive system and nervous system. For life to have an ongoing process there must be the process of creating new life. This process is called reproduction. Human beings reproduce in much the same way as other mammals. There is need for both male and female to be involved in the human reproductive process. On the other hand the nervous system is the most complex system in the body. This particular system is well needed for…

Computational System

Cognition therefore enables the individual to gain, hold and apply knowledge, and encompasses processes such as sensory perception, as well as higher-level brain functions including language comprehension and production, and imagination. Computational systems aim to replicate these higher-level functions, however - as I will argue throughout this essay – several limitations to their application exist, due to their inability to model the organic nature of cognition, and the oversimplifications of its associated…

The Integumentary System

entire body undergoes changes. An assessment of the integumentary system in search for pressure ulcers is necessary due to decreased circulation which can lead to tissue death. An assessment of the respiratory system will be needed due to the decrease in respiratory movement which will result in decreased perfusion. This will cause immobility of secretions and a decrease in cough response. An assessment on the cardiovascular system is necessary due to a decrease in cardiac output and thus poor cardiac…

everyday life. The brainstem, limbic system, and the cerebral cortex are the most important structures within the brain. The brainstem provides the ability for a person to survive from moment to moment through the breathing process and maintaining the consciousness. The structures of the brain stem are the medulla, pons, cerebellum, the reticular formation, and the thalamus. The structure that surrounds the thalamus is called the limbic system. This specific system is “a group of brain structures that…

Cardiovascular System

The components, of the cardiovascular system consist of the heart, blood vessels, and circulatory systems. Its main function is to pump blood around the body via blood vessels exchanging nutrients and waste by products between cells. In addition, they are also chief regulators in acidity, temperature, and extracellular fluid. It’s worth saying; cardiovascular system is a collection of systematic processes, meeting the body’s constant demands. Tissue requires oxygen on a continuous level, so when…
