Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
What are the main components of the endocrine organ system
Pituitory, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal and other hormone secreting glands
What are the main components of the reproductive organ system
Ovaries or testes and other associated organs

Brain, spinal chord, nerves, sensory organs
What are the main components of the integumentary organ system
Skin and it’s derivatives (such as hair, claws and sweat glands)
what are the main components of the skeletal organ system
skeleton (bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage)
what are the main components of the muscular organ system
skeletal muscles
what are the main functions of the digestive organ system
food processing (ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination)
what are the main functions of the circulatory organ system
internal distribution of materials
what are the main functions of the respiratory organ system
gas exchange (uptake of oxygen, disposal of carbon dioxide)
what are the main functions of the immune and lymphatic organ system
body defence (fighting infections and virally induced cancers)
what are the main functions of the excretory organ system
disposal of metabolic waste, regulation of osmotic balance of blood
what are the main functions of the endocrine organ system
coordination of body activities (such as digestion and metabolism)
what are the main functions of the reproductive organ system
gamete production, promotion of fertilization, support of developing embryo
what are the main functions of the nervous organ system
coordination of body activities, detection of stimuli and formulation of response to them
what are the main functions of the integumentary organ system
protection against mechanical injury, infection, dehydration; thermoregulation
what are the main functions of the skeletal organ system
body support, protection of internal organs, movement
what are the main functions of the muscular organ system
locomotion and other movement
what is epithelial tissue
a tissue that covers the outside of the body and lines organs and cavities within the body
how are epithelial cells packed
very closely together often with tight conjunctions. They function as a barrier to mechanical injury, pathogens and fluid loss
