Let’s go step by step to understand what this graphic organizer is showing and how to use it.
This table lists 11 major body systems in the human body. For each system, it tells you:
- What organs are part of that system
- What jobs (functions) that system does
- How it works with other systems (interactions)
You don’t need to solve a math problem or answer a specific question — instead, you’re being asked to read and understand this chart. Since no specific question was given, I’ll help you learn how to use this chart by walking through one example together.
Let’s pick the
Respiratory System as an example:
Step 1: Look at the “Body System” column → Find “Respiratory System”
Step 2: Read across to see its organs → Lungs, airways
Step 3: Read its functions → Gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
→ That means it takes in oxygen when you breathe in, and gets rid of carbon dioxide when you breathe out.
Step 4: Read its interactions → Interacts with cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to body tissues.
→ So your lungs work with your heart and blood vessels to send oxygen all over your body.
Now let’s try another one — say, the
Digestive System:
Organs: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines
Functions: Breaks down food into nutrients
Interactions: Extracts nutrients from food and absorbs them into the bloodstream.
→ So after your stomach breaks down food, your intestines take the good stuff (nutrients) and put it into your blood so your body can use it.
If you were asked something like:
> Which system helps you breathe?
Answer: Respiratory System
Or:
> What do kidneys do?
Answer: They filter waste and make urine (part of Urinary System)
Or:
> How does the muscular system interact with another system?
Answer: It depends on the skeletal system for attachment — meaning muscles pull on bones to move your body.
Since there’s no specific question, here’s the key takeaway:
✔ Each row = one body system
✔ Columns tell you: organs, what it does, how it teams up with others
✔ You can use this to study for tests or answer questions about how your body works
Final Answer:
The Body Systems Graphic Organizer shows 11 body systems, their organs, functions, and how they interact with other systems. Use it to match each system with its parts, jobs, and teamwork roles in the body.
