Study Notes
Nervous System
- Comprises the brain and spinal cord.
- Responsible for processing sensory information and transmitting signals throughout the body.
Integumentary System
- Functions: protection of tissues and regulation of body temperature.
- Essential for barrier defense against external elements.
Components of Integumentary System

- Encompasses all muscles within the body.
- Vital for movement, posture, and heat production.
Urinary System
- Consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Responsible for filtering blood, removing wastes, and regulating fluid balance.
Respiratory System
- Includes lungs and is responsible for oxygen exchange in the blood.
- Vital for supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the body.
