The body is made up of different systems that work together. Our body systems help us to move, breathe, digest food, and more. These systems include the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and more.
Body Systems
The skeletal system is made up of bones, cartilage, and ligaments that help give the body structure, protect organs, and support movement. The circulatory system is made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels that help circulate oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The digestive system is made up of organs that break down food and absorb the nutrients the body needs to survive.
