List of human anatomical features

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The major systems of the human body are:

* Circulatory system: the blood circulation with heart, arteries and veins
* Digestive system: processing food with mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines.
* Endocrine system: communicating within the body using hormones
* Urinary system: eliminating wastes from the body
* Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents
* Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails
* Lymphatic system
* Muscular system: moving the body with muscles
* Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain and nerves
* Reproductive system: the sex organs
* Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the lungs
* Skeletal system: structural support and protection through bones

The detailed list of human anatomical features below is adapted from the table of contents of the 1918 public domain edition of Gray's Anatomy.
