The major systems of the human body are:

• Cardiovascular system: the blood circulation with heart, arteries and veins
• Digestive system: processing food with mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines.
• Endocrine system: communicating within the body using hormones
• Excretory system: eliminating wastes from the body
• Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents
• Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails
• Muscular system: moving the body with muscles
• Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain and nerves
• Reproductive system: the sex organs
• Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the lungs
• Skeletal system: structural support and protection through bones
