There are several organ systems that work together to keep animals alive, including the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, immune, nervous, endocrine, muscular, and skeletal systems. The digestive system breaks down food, the respiratory system intakes oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, and the circulatory system transports these substances around the body. Each system relies on the others, for example the circulatory system delivers oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from digestion to organs and tissues, and picks up waste to be removed. Together these interdependent systems maintain homeostasis and ensure animal survival.

Functional Relationship of the different Organ
Systems in ensuring Animal Survival
There are various systems in the animal’s body: • Muscular System • Respiratory System • Digestive System • Skeletal System • Circulatory(Cardiovascular) System • Excretory(Urinary) System • Reproductive System • Nervous System • Immune System • Endocrine System Digestive System
Major organs: Esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine, rectum. The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. They can then be absorbed into the bloodstream so the body can use them for energy, growth and repair. Unused materials are discarded as faeces (poo). Respiratory System
Major organs: Nose, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs.
The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. It includes your airways, lungs and blood vessels. The muscles that power your lungs are also part of the respiratory system. These parts work together to move oxygen throughout the body and clean out waste gases like carbon dioxide. • Allows you to talk and to smell. • Warms air to match your body temperature and moisturizes it to the humidity level your body needs. • Delivers oxygen to the cells in your body. • Removes waste gases, including carbon dioxide, from the body when you exhale. • Protects your airways from harmful substances and irritants.ste gases like carbon dioxide. Circulatory System
Major Organs: Heart and Blood vessles.
• Also known as Cardiovascular system.
• transport oxyge, nutrients,and other substances to the cell and transport wastes, carbon dioxide and other substances away from the cell;helps to stabize body temperature and pH. Excretory System
Major Organs:Kidneys, Urinary bladder, Ureter.
• Also known as Urinary System.
• Removes excess water,salts, and waste products from the blood and body and controls pH. Immune System
Major organs:Bone marrow and Thymus.
• The immune system defends the body from infection. It is
made up of a complex network of cells, chemicals, tissues and organs. An underactive or overactive immune system can cause health issues. The immune system’s job is to protect the body from infection. Nervous System
Major organs:Brain and Spinal cord.
• Collects, transfers and process information and direct short term change in other organ systems. • it controls your movements, thoughts and automatic responses to the world around you. It also controls other body systems and processes, such as digestion, breathing and sexual development (puberty). Endocrine System
Major organs:Glands produce hormones.
• Provides communication within the body via hormone and directs long term change in other organ systems to maintain homeostasis. Muscular System
Major organs: Muscles and Tendons.
• Provides movement support and heat production. • It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled through the nervous system although some muscles (such as the cardiac muscle) can be completely autonomous. Skeletal system
Main organs:Bones, Cartilages, Ligaments.
• skeletal system The framework of the body, consisting of bones and other connective tissues, which protects and supports the body tissues and internal organs. The human skeleton contains 206 bones, six of which are the tiny bones of the middle ear (three in each ear) that function in hearing. • Supports and protects soft tissues of the bodyl; provide movement at joints;produce blood cells. Each individual body system works in conjunction with other body systems. The circulatory system is a good example of how body systems interact with each other. Your heart pumps blood through a complex network of blood vessels. When your blood circulates through your digestive system, for example, it picks up nutrients your body absorbed from your last meal. Your blood also carries oxygen inhaled by the lungs. Your circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the other cells of your body then picks up any waste products created by these cells, including carbon dioxide, and delivers these waste products to the kidneys and lungs for disposal. Meanwhile, the circulatory system carries hormones from the endocrine system, and the immune system’s white blood cells that fight off infection. Each of your body systems relies on the others to work well. Your respiratory system relies on your circulatory system to deliver the oxygen it gathers, while the muscles of your heart cannot function without the oxygen they receive from your lungs. The bones of your skull and spine protect your brain and spinal cord, but your brain regulates the position of your bones by controlling your muscles. The circulatory system provides your brain with a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood while your brain regulates your heart rate and blood pressure. Even seemingly unrelated body systems are connected. Your skeletal system relies on your urinary system to remove waste produced by bone cells; in return, the bones of your skeleton create structure that protects your bladder and other urinary system organs. Your circulatory system delivers oxygen-rich blood to your bones. Meanwhile, your bones are busy making new blood cells.
Working together, these systems maintain internal stability
and balance, otherwise known as homeostasis. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3_-DWAmxbI Thank you!
