[[File:TE-Nervous system diagram.svg|thumb|300px|An example of a system: The nervous system. This basic diagram shows that this system is made up of 4 different basic organs: the [[brain]], the [[cerebellum]], the [[spinal cord]], and the [[nerve]]s.]] |
|||
In [[biology]], a '''biological system''' (or '''organ system''' or '''body system''') is a group of [[Organ (anatomy)|organs]] that work together to perform a certain task. Common systems, such as those present in [[mammals]] and other animals, seen in [[human anatomy]], are those such as the [[circulatory system]], the [[respiratory system]], the [[nervous system]], etc. |
|||
A group of systems composes an [[organism]], e.g. the [[human body]]. |

|||
These specific systems are widely studied in [[Human anatomy]]. ''"Human" systems'' are also present in many other animals. |
|||
* [[Circulatory system]]: pumping and channeling [[blood]] to and from the [[body]] and [[lungs]] with [[heart]], [[blood]] and [[blood vessel]]s. |
|||
* [[Integumentary system]]: [[skin]], [[hair]], [[fat]], and [[nail (anatomy)|nail]]s. |
|||
* [[Skeletal system]]: structural support and protection with [[bone]]s, [[cartilage]], [[ligament]]s and [[tendon]]s. |
|||
* [[Reproductive system]]: the [[sex organs]], such as [[ovary|ovarie]]s, [[fallopian tube]]s, [[uterus]], [[vagina]], [[mammary gland]]s, [[testes]], [[vas deferens]], [[seminal vesicle]]s and [[prostate]] |
|||
* [[Digestive system]]: [[digestion]] and processing food with [[salivary gland]]s, [[esophagus]], [[stomach]], [[liver]], [[gallbladder]], [[pancreas]], [[intestine]]s, [[rectum]] and [[anus]]. |
|||
* [[Urinary system]]: [[kidney]]s, [[ureter]]s, [[urinary bladder|bladder]] and [[urethra]] involved in fluid balance, [[electrolyte]] balance and excretion of [[urine]]. |
|||
* [[Respiratory system]]: the organs used for [[breathing]], the [[Human pharynx|pharynx]], [[larynx]], [[bronchi]], [[lung]]s and [[thoracic diaphragm|diaphragm]]. |
|||
* [[Endocrine system]]: communication within the body using [[hormone]]s made by [[endocrine gland]]s such as the [[hypothalamus]], [[pituitary]] gland, [[pineal body]] or pineal gland, [[thyroid]], [[parathyroid]] and [[adrenal]]s, i.e., adrenal glands. |
|||
* [[Lymphatic system]]: structures involved in the transfer of [[lymph]] between [[Tissue (biology)|tissue]]s and the [[blood stream]]; includes the lymph and the [[lymph node|node]]s and [[lymph vessel|vessels]]. The lymphatic system includes functions including immune responses and development of antibodies. |
|||
* [[Muscular system]]: allows for manipulation of the environment, provides locomotion, maintains posture, and produces heat. Includes only [[skeletal muscle]], not [[smooth muscle]] or [[cardiac muscle]]. |
|||
* [[Nervous system]]: collecting, transferring and processing information with [[brain]], [[spinal cord]] and [[peripheral nervous system]]. |
