  There are nine galleries to explore ranging from the skeletal system to the reproductive system. These include:
  
  Muscular System:
  Muscles give the body much of its individual shape and generate heat to help maintain its optimal temperature.
  
  Nervous System:
  The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. All the nerves that branch from the brain and spinal cord are known as the peripheral nervous system. Together these systems monitor and manage every activity of the body.
  
  Circulatory System:
  The adult circulatory system is made up of the heart and one hundred thousand miles (161,000 kilometers) of blood vessels. One of the largest of these blood vessels, the aorta and its branches, supplies oxygenated blood to every part of the body.
  
  Please note: Bodies...The Exhibition cannot independently verify the provenance of the human remains in this exhibit.
