Interactions

Integumentary System

• The skin helps protect the body
  from pathogens (p. 494)


• The skin provides a site for
  thermoregulation (p. 474)


• The circulatory system delivers blood
  for exchange of gases, nutrients, and
  wastes with all of the body organs,
  including the skin (p. 405)


• Blood clotting occurs if blood
  vessels in the skin are broken
  (p. 414)

Skeletal System

• Hematopoiesis occurs in the bone
  marrow (p. 409)


• The rib cage protects heart and
  thoracic vessels (p. 418)


• The blood delivers calcium and
  phosphate for deposition of bone
  and removes calcium and phosphate
  during bone resorption (p. 690)


• The blood delivers parathyroid
  hormone and other hormones
  that regulate bone growth and
  maintenance (p. 344)

Muscular System

• Cardiac muscle function is central
  to the activity of the heart (p. 392)


• Smooth muscle function in blood
  vessels regulates the blood flow
  and blood pressure (p. 465)


• Skeletal muscle contractions
  squeeze veins and thus aid venous
  blood flow (p. 435)


• The blood removes lactic acid and
  heat from active muscles (p. 382)

Nervous System

• Autonomic nerves help regulate the
  cardiac output (p. 451)


• Autonomic nerves help regulate the
  vascular resistance, blood flow, and
  blood pressure (p. 466)


• Cerebral capillaries participate in
  the blood-brain barrier (p. 171)

Endocrine System

• Epinephrine and norepinephrine
  from the adrenal medulla help
  regulate cardiac function and
  vascular resistance (p. 254)


• Aldosterone and other hormones
  influence the blood pressure (p. 483)


• The blood transports hormones to
  their target organs (p. 405)

Immune System

• The immune system protects
  against infections (p. 494)


• Lymphatic vessels drain tissue
  fluid and return it to the venous
  system (p. 443)


• Lymphocytes from the bone
  marrow and lymphoid organs
  circulate in the blood (p. 499)


• Neutrophils leave the vascular
  system by diapedesis to participate
  in aspects of the immune response
  (p. 496)


• The circulation carries chemical
  regulators of the immune response
  (p. 508)

Respiratory System

• The lungs provide oxygen for
  transport by blood and provide for
  elimination of carbon dioxide (p. 533)


• Ventilation helps to regulate the pH
  of the blood (p. 568)


• The blood transports gases between
  the lungs and tissue cells (p. 533)


• Breathing assists venous return
  (p. 455)

Urinary System

• The kidneys regulate the volume,
  pH, and electrolyte balance of
  blood (p. 582)


• The kidneys excrete waste
  products, derived from blood
  plasma, in the urine (p. 598)


• Blood pressure is required for
  kidney function (p. 588)

Digestive System

• Intestinal absorption of nutrients,
  including iron and particular B
  vitamins, is needed for red blood
  cell production (p. 408)


• The hepatic portal vein permits the
  enterohepatic circulation of some
  absorbed molecules (p. 638)


• The circulation transports nutrients
  from the GI tract to all the tissues in
  the body (p. 405)

Reproductive System

• Gonadal hormones, particularly
  testosterone, stimulate red blood
  cell production (p. 714)


• The placenta permits exchanges
  of gases, nutrients, and waste
  products between the maternal and
  fetal blood (p. 742)


• Erection of the penis and clitoris
  results from vasodilation of blood
  vessels (p. 720)
