Firstly we have the:  Digestive system

The digestive system is also known as the gastrointestinal tract.  It is the long twisted mouth from the anus.  The hollow organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract are:

Mouth

Food pipe (ALSO KNOWN AS ESOPHAGUS)          

Stomach

Small intestine

Large intestine

Rectum and anus

Along with the organs there are some solid glands as  well; Liver and pancreas.

 Let us now look at the function of each organ in a digestive system.

Mouth-  The digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Your salivary glands make saliva, a digestive juice, which moistens food so it moves more easily through your esophagus into your stomach. Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food.

Esophagus-The esophagus receives the food from the mouth.  The food here passes through the peristalsis movement.

Stomach-The stomach is a hollow organ, or "container," that holds food while it is being mixed with stomach enzymes. These enzymes continue the process of breaking down food into a usable form. Cells in the lining of the stomach secrete a strong acid and powerful enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown process.

Small intestine- Functionally, the small intestine is chiefly involved in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It receives pancreatic secretions and bile through the hepatopancreatic duct which aid with its functions.

Large intestine- Function of the large intestine is absorb water and salts from the undigested food.

Liver-The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances.  Produces Bile juice for the digestion of fats.

Pancreas-During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches.

Next comes the respiratory system.
The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. 

  • Nose.-When you exhale the old air from your lungs, the nose is the main way for the air to leave your body. But your nose is more than a passageway for air. The nose also warms, moistens, and filters the air before it goes to the lungs
  • Throat (pharynx)-The throat (pharynx and larynx) is a ring-like muscular tube that acts as the passageway for air, food and liquid.
  • Voice box (larynx)-As the word says,voice box.  Mainly helps us to speak
  • Windpipe (trachea)-Your trachea, or windpipe, is one part of your airway system. Airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs.
  • Airways (bronchi)-A bronchus (plural bronchi, adjective bronchial) is a passage of airway in the respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs.
  • Lungs.- lungs are part of the respiratory system, a group of organs and tissues that work together to help you breathe. The respiratory system's main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases.
Circulatory system
The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood.
The three parts of circulatory system
Heart- Pumps blood throughout the body.  The heart is roughly the size of the close fists.
Arteries-Carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body
Veins- Carries de-oxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.

Excretory system- 
The excretory system is the system of an organism's body that performs the function of excretion, the bodily process of discharging wastes. The Excretory system is responsible for the elimination of wastes produced by homeostasis.
 
Parts and function
Kidneys-Most people know that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and re-absorption.
 
Ureter-The urine travels from the kidneys to the bladder in two thin tubes called ureters. The ureters are about 8 to 10 inches long. Muscles in the ureter walls tighten and relax to force urine down and away from the kidneys. Small amounts of urine flow from the ureters into the bladder about every 10 to 15 seconds. 
 
Urinary bladder- The urinary bladder functions as a storage
