Vital functions Nutrition: we need food, water and oxygen to live. Interaction: we respond to the world around us. Reproduction: we have babies. To carry out these functions, we have organs in our body, grouped together in BODY SYSTEMS.
Which body systems take part in nutrition? Digestive system: It helps our bodies absorb the nutrients in food, and get rid of solid waste. Respiratory system: It helps our bodies absorb oxygen from the air. Circulatory system: It helps move blood around the body. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients around our bodies, and carries away waste substances. Excretory system: It expels waste substances from the blood.
Which body systems take part in interaction? Locomotor system: It helps us move. The five senses: they capture information from the environment. Nervous system: It interprets the information received from the five senses.
Which body systems take part in reproduction? Reproductive system: It helps us have babies.

LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM It makes our body move. 1. MUSCLES 3. BONES 2. JOINTS
It interprets the information received from the five senses NERVOUS SYSTEM It interprets the information received from the five senses 1. BRAIN 2. NERVES 3. SPINAL CORD
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM It allows us to have babies. Men and women have different reproductive systems: *The male reproductive organs are mainly outside the body. *The female reproductive organs are mainly inside the body.
