Human Body Systems Overview (Updated 2024)

Explore 11 human body systems with the Amoeba Sisters in this updated video (2024). This video focuses on general functions for the following systems (and also provides a few structure examples): Circulatory, Digestive, Endocrine, Excretory, Integumentary, Lymphatic and Immune, Muscular, Nervous, Reproductive, Respiratory, and Skeletal. In addition, this video focuses on how the functions of these systems work together. You will find this video very similar in script to our 2016 Human Body Systems video but it has more functional detail and some mention of example structures. Table of Contents: Intro 00:00 Levels of Organization 0:34 All Eleven Body Systems 0:52 Circulatory 1:21 Digestive 2:33 Endocrine 3:09 Excretory 3:33 Integumentary 4:38 Lymphatic and Immune 5:20 Muscular 6:11 Nervous 6:29 Reproductive 7:15 Respiratory 7:43 Skeletal 8:17 Why Learn This Topic 8:39 Importance of Systems Working Together 8:51 -------------- Reference: These are very general system functions for the systems taught at the high school level and the script is very close to our older 2016 video. If you are looking our recommended reference for general biology information, we suggest the FREE, peer reviewed, open source OpenStax biology textbook: https://openstax.org/details/books/biology If you view our individual body systems videos where there is more depth about structure and function, you will find individual sources for each of those more advanced videos in each video description in https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwL0Myd7Dk1F8lTR63pGWJlUGB7c3Pm2B ------------ FURTHER EXPLORATION: Want more detail and to learn more about structure?
