Respirotary
Provides cells with oxygen
Cardiovascular
delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells, removes carbon dioxide and waste products from cells.
Lymphatic
Remooves foreign substances, combats disease
Nervous
coordinates the activities of all other cells and responds to changes in the organism’s environment both external and internal.
Skeletal
provides a structure around which all other systems are built and enables effective motion.
Digestive
extracts nutrients from food to feed the cells.
Urinary
eliminates waste products from the body and maintains acid/base balance
Integument
(skin) – protects of the body.
Endocrine
regulates metabolism, growth etc
Reproductive
structures that bring about continuation of the species.
