If you could take a look inside this person riding the skateboard you would see an amazing team of different body systems working together.
There are at least 11 body systems that work together to help keep the human body alive.
The muscular system is responsible for movement inside and out of the body. There are three major types of muscles, skeletal muscles which are muscles attached to bones, smooth muscles which are involuntary muscles found inside the stomach, the intestines and several other places, and cardiac muscle which are muscles of the heart.
The urinary system filters blood through the kidneys where it works to filter out waste and produces urine.
The function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the blood. The lungs are a major organ of this system.
The endocrine system sends chemical messages throughout the body. This system is composed of glands that produce hormones that act as chemical messengers of the body. For example adrenaline is a hormone that causes you to have a sudden burst of energy.
The lymphatic system includes organs and cells that filter lymph and blood and destroy foreign microorganisms.Lymph is the fluid that leaks out of the capillaries. This fluid circulates among the tissue cells and is collected by lymphatic vessels and returned to the veins.
The circulatory system pumps blood throughout your body. It consists of your heart veins that carry blood to the heart arteries that carry blood away from the heart and capillaries which connect the veins and the arteries.
