the 11 systems of the body
Hi everyone,
We've started 2024 off with a *BANG* by creating twelve new medical English lessons, all based on the 11 systems of the body: cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeleton, and urinary.

The lessons include a variety of exercises: gap fills, matching exercises, reading comprehension, labelling tasks, writing exercises, pronunciation and word stress activities and research tasks. You can buy the lessons individually or as a complete book. There is also a free lesson on 'an introduction to the the eleven systems of the body' below.

The 11 Systems of the Body

Organs of the human body are commonly grouped into eleven systems. Each body system includes organs and structures that serve a common purpose. The systems are highly interdependent, working together to sustain life and enable interaction with the surrounding environment (OpenMD, 2024).
