The tongue is surrounded by the openings of the ducts of the salivary glands, which pour their secretions (saliva) into the oral cavity.

Cardiovascular system. It regulates body temperature, fights infections, removes cell waste and it brings oxygen to cells. Its major organs are arteries, veins, heart, and blood vessels. It interacts with the digestive system to help red blood cells to carry nutrients and digested food in the body. It reacts with endocrine which helps red blood cells to carry hormones which deliver a message to the body.

Respiratory system. Its work in the body helps in breathing.Its major organs are lungs, pharynx and nose.works closely with immune, excretory system and circulatory system.

Muscular system. Helps in the circulation of foods and blood and allows it to produce voluntary movement.Its major organs are cardiac muscles, smooth and skeletal muscles.

Digestive system. It absorbs and converts food into molecules for cell use and it also helps in elimination of solid waste. Its organs are mouth, stomach, and intestines. It interacts with cardiovascular and excretory systems.

Urinary system. It helps in elimination of salt, excess water, and body waste. Its organs are bladder, urethra, urinary tract, and ureterus. It reacts with the nervous system where bladder sends sensory into the brain and then brain control urination.
