Body Systems Word Search
This body systems word search sorts forty words by the job each part does: the skeletal and muscular systems with their bones, the nervous system and its spinal cord, the circulatory system's arteries and veins, and the glands that send out hormones.
No system works alone. On a fast run, nerves carry signals from the brain down the spinal cord to the leg muscles, the heart pumps harder to push blood through the arteries, and breathing speeds up so the lungs pull in more oxygen through the trachea. The diaphragm, a dome of muscle under the lungs, does most of that pulling. Sweat glands release water to carry off the extra heat, and the kidneys hold back water so the body does not run dry.
A few organs belong to two systems at once. The pancreas makes digestive juices for the small intestine and also releases insulin into the blood, so it sits on both the digestive and the endocrine lists. The pituitary, about the size of a pea at the base of the brain, is called the master gland because its hormones tell the thyroid, the ovaries and the testes when to work. The thymus, where the white cells called T cells mature, is largest in childhood and shrinks after puberty. The reproductive system is the only one a person does not need to stay alive.
