The heart, blood and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. (Circulatory)

Delivers oxygen to the cardiovascular system for distribution to the body and it removes carbon dioxide. Gas transfer occurs in the alveoli of the lungs, where the air-blood barrier is a thin, permeable membrane. (Respiratory)

The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—which includes the rectum—and anus. Food enters the mouth and passes to the anus through the hollow organs of the GI tract. (Digestive)

Responsible for the elimination of wastes produced by homeostasis. There are several parts of the body that are involved in this process, such as sweat glands, the liver, the lungs and the kidney system. The renal pelvis takes urine away from the kidney via the ureter. (Excretory)

The focus of the central nervous system is on coordinating incoming and outgoing neural impulses. Most nerves of the peripheral nervous system contain both sensory neurons and motor neurons. (Nervous)

The primary function of these ductless glands is to secrete their hormones directly into the surrounding fluid, which includes the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal glands. (Endocrine)

Distinguishes self from nonself and eliminates potentially harmful nonself molecules and cells from the body. It also has the capacity to recognize and destroy abnormal cells that derive from host tissues. (Immune)

Consists of the skin, hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Its main function is to act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature. (Integumentary)

Made up of 206 bones. It also includes cartilage, tendons and ligaments. There are two primary divisions: the axial and the appendicular. The primary purpose is to provide locomotion, support and protection for the body. (Skeletal)

The testes in the scrotum produce the male gamete, sperm, which is ejaculated in seminal fluid by the penis. The female gamete, ovum, is produced in the ovaries and is released monthly to travel to the uterus via the Fallopian tubes. (Reproductive)

Acne affects the integumentary system.

Acne occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Hair follicles are connected to oil glands. These glands secrete an oily substance to lubricate your hair and skin. The plugged pore may cause the follicle wall to bulge and produce a whitehead.

Acne is most common with adolescents. Nearly 85% of people between 12 and 24 develop acne. (Acne tends to clear up when people reach their 30s, while some continue to have acne in their 40s and 50s.)

Acne signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of your condition: •Whiteheads (closed plugged pores) •Blackheads (open plugged pores — the oil turns brown when it is exposed to air) •Small red, tender bumps (papules) •Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips •Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin (nodules) •Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin (cystic lesions)

The diagnosis of acne is based on the history and physical examination. Lesions most commonly develop in areas with the greatest concentration of sebaceous glands, which include the face, neck, chest, upper arms, and back. Acne may be triggered or worsened by external factors such as mechanical obstruction, occupational exposures, or medications. Cosmetics and emollients may occlude follicles and cause an acneiform eruption.

Yes acne can be fatal because popping pimples can leave you with scars, or worse, an infection. When you pop a pimple, you're actually tearing open your skin in the process. There's something called “the triangle of death” on your face and this is because getting an infection in this area can cause you to die.

Acne is a disease that affects the skin's oil glands. The small holes in your skin (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands make an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal called a follicle.
