1ANATOMY
1. Musculoskeletal system-
Function
This enables movement of the muscular and the skeletal systems, providing support to
the body along with form, stability.
Major parts of the system
The major of the parts of the system includes the connective tissues along with the
ligament joints, the skeleton, cartilages, the muscles, tendons and ligaments.
How does it works
The connective tissues along with the along parts of the system binding the tissues
and the organs together in order to support the skeletal framework. This also helps in
providing protection to the vital organs (Persaud, Loukas, and Tubbs 2014).
What can go wrong?
Disorders occur like dystrophy, tendinosis, FMS, mitochondrial myopathy,
myasthenia gravis, and tetanus.
2. Circulatory system –
Function
It is also called the vascular system which allows the circulation of the blood and
transport of the minerals around the body along with the circulation of oxygen, carbon
dioxide and hormones.
Major parts of the system
The lymphatic system is a major part which is responsible for the circulation of the
lymph along with blood.
How does it works
The oxygen is circulated by the system in the form of arterial blood throughout the
human body. This is chemically combined with hemoglobin molecules (Netter 2014).

What can go wrong?
Disorders like high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
3. Respiratory system –
Function
The major function is to help in exchange of gases. Additional function include
ventilation control and local defenses of the body.
Major parts of the system
Consists of the respiratory tract along with the nose, pharynx, nasal cavities and parts
of the larynx.
How does it works
The gas exchanges occurs due to the presence of the alveoli which are small air sacs
that come in contact of the gases, helping it to interact with the blood (Gosling 2016).
What can go wrong?
Disorders like asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, hay fever and influenza.
4. Skeletal system –
Function
Provides the body with an internal framework for the purpose of movement,
protection and support.
