Integumentary System
Integumentary System
The body's largest organ, the integumentary system acts as a barrier against the environment, regulates body temperature, and provides sensory information.
Skeletal System
Skeletal System
This system provides support and structure to the body, protects organs, and produces blood cells.

Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Forms the body's outer covering (skin, hair, nails)
- Protects against pathogens and regulates body temperature
- Involved in sensation (touch, pressure)
Skeletal System
- Supports and protects the body
- Provides framework for movement
- Bones store minerals (calcium, phosphorus)
- Contains bone marrow for blood cell production
Muscular System0
- Enables movement of the body
- Different types (skeletal, smooth, cardiac)
- Skeletal muscles contract to move bones
Nervous System
- Coordinates body functions
- Composed of brain, spinal cord, nerves
- Transmits signals for rapid communication
Cardiovascular System
- Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste
- Heart pumps blood through blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
- Blood carries oxygen throughout the body
Respiratory System
- Enables gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
- Lungs facilitate this exchange
- Involves breathing (inhalation and exhalation)
Lymphatic & Immune System
- Protects against disease
- Lymph nodes filter lymph (fluid)
- White blood cells fight infection
Digestive System
- Breaks down food into absorbable nutrients
- Includes organs like stomach, intestines, liver
- Absorbs nutrients from ingested food
Urinary System
- Removes waste products from the blood
- Kidneys filter blood to produce urine
- Maintaining proper fluid balance in the body.
Endocrine System
- Regulates bodily functions through hormones
- Glands such as the thyroid and adrenal produce hormones
- Controls many aspects of growth, metabolism, and reproduction
