What role does the nervous system play in the body?

Digestive System

The digestive system breaks down food, turning it into usable nutrients
It's a group of organs working together to absorb nutrients
It includes the gastrointestinal tract (a long tube) along with salivary glands, liver, and pancreas
Other organs include the esophagus, stomach, intestines, etc

Respiratory System

The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide
This involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide
Key parts include the nose, mouth, trachea, lungs, and associated structures

Excretory System

This system removes waste products from the body, important for homeostasis
It eliminates waste from the blood through urine
Organs include the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Skin, liver, and lungs also contribute to waste removal

Nervous System

The nervous system controls and coordinates body functions
It regulates other systems, ensuring smooth bodily processes
Crucial to maintaining homeostasis. It uses nerve impulses to send signals
