49
skeletal
supports body organs, aids movement
50
urinary
removes wastes from the blood/body, maintains homeostasis
51
immune
protects the body from infection and disease
52
nervous
coordinates response to internal and external stimuli
53
lymphatic
collects fluids lost by blood and return it to circulatory system
54
integumentary
serves as a barrier against injury and infection; aids homeostasis
55
respiratory
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
56
endocrine
delivers chemical messages throughout the body; aids homeostasis
57
reproductive
produces hormones, egg and sperm, nurtures embryo
58
circulatory/ cardiovascular
moves blood through the body
59
muscular
allows for movement of the body/organs
60
digestive
converts food into smaller molecules, absorbs food, removes waste
