List of human anatomical features
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The major systems of the human body are:
- Cardiovascular system: the blood circulation with heart, arteries and veins
- Digestive system: processing food with mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines.
- Endocrine system: communicating within the body using hormones
- Urinary system: eliminating wastes from the body
- Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents (includes the Lymphatic system)
- Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails
- Muscular system: moving the body with muscles
- Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain and nerves
- Reproductive system: the sex organs
- Respiratory system: the lungs and the trachea
The detailed list of human anatomical features below is adapted from the table of contents of the 1918 public domain edition of Gray's Anatomy.
