    • In the digestive system, the long continuous tube that is the digestive tract is about 9 meters in length. It opens to the outside at both ends, through the mouth at one end and through the anus at the other. Although there are variations in each region, the basic structure of the wall is the same throughout the entire length of the tube.

      The stomach and intestines have a thin simple columnar epithelial layer for secretion and absorption. The submucosa is a thick layer of loose connective tissue that surrounds the mucosa. This layer also contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves. Glands may be embedded in this layer.

      • The integumentary system includes the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, associated glands, hair, and nails. In addition to its barrier function, this system performs many intricate functions such as body temperature regulation, cell fluid maintenance, synthesis of Vitamin D, and detection of stimuli.

        The skin has a significant capacity for renewal and a crucial role in the normal functioning of the human body. It is an effective barrier against potential pathogens and protects against mechanical, chemical, osmotic, thermal, and ultraviolet radiation damage (through melanin). The skin also takes part in a variety of biochemical synthetic processes, such as vitamin D production under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, but also the production of cytokines and growth factors.

        • The circulatory system (cardiovascular system) pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen. The heart then sends oxygenated blood through arteries to the rest of the body. The veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to start the circulation process. Your circulatory system is critical to healthy organs, muscles, and tissues.

          The circulatory system’s function is to move blood throughout the body. This blood circulation keeps organs, muscles, and tissues healthy and working to keep you alive.

          The circulatory system also helps your body get rid of waste products. This waste includes:

          • Carbon dioxide from respiration (breathing).
          • Other chemical byproducts from your organs.
          • Waste from things you eat and drink.
