INTRODUCTION
Human body is composed of millions of cells that are functional and structural unit of life.
Numerous cells constitute to form tissues which further leads to formation of different organs and
organ system (Sherwood, 2015). All the functions carried out by human body are executed through
different types of cells present in the body. Cells play an important role in building blocks of body
as they regulate both physiological and anatomical characteristics. Different types of cells are
responsible for overall cellular metabolism in body as they perform different functions at the same
time.
TASK 11.1 ANATOMICAL FEATURES IN EACH BODY SYSTEM WITH
IDENTIFYING MAIN FUNCTIONS
Table 1: Anatomical features of body systems
Different body systems Organs involved Functions
Respiratory system The main organs involved in
respiratory system are as
follows:
 Nostrils
 Trachea
 Bronchi
 Lungs
 Alveolus
 Diaphragm
 The primary purpose of
Respiratory system is to enhance
the supply of oxygen in various
tissues thereby expelling out
carbon dioxide from them.
 The exchange of different gases
between lungs and blood cells
also takes place through
Respiratory system (Nunn, 2013).
Circulatory system Circulatory system of human
body consist of:
 Heart
 Arteries
 Capillaries
 Veins
 The most important function of
Circulatory system is to supply
oxygenated blood in different
body parts which is basically
carried out by heart (Waugh and
Grant, 2014). Metabolic waste is
also removed and disposed off
with the help of circulatory
system.
 Nutrients transportation is also
one of the critical functions of
Circulatory system.
