skin, hair, and nails/ protection, connection, temperature control
integumentary system/ function
bones, cartilage, joints / support, protection, and movement
skeletal system / function
skeletal muscles, smooth and cardiac / all movement
muscular system / function
brain, spinal cord, nerves, 5 senses / coordinates all sensory activities, reactions, pains and reflexes
nervous system / function
mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, appendix, anus / feeds cells, maintains growth, nutrition and body size
digestive system / function
nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs / receives, processes oxygen, and releases C 02 process of breathing
respiratory system / function
heart, vessels, and blood / transports materials, feeds body cells, picks up wastes, all heart functions, determines life and death
cardiovascular system / function
kidney’s bladder, urethra / liquid waste, body temperature, internal environment
urinary system / function
glands / controls internal functions, size, energy, maturation
endocrine system / function
ovaries, uterus, vagina, testes, penis, sperm duct. / continuation of species, hormonal development, sexual activity
reproductive system / function
