Immune system
28
What is the function of the lymphatic system:
- Carry impurities away from the cells ( filter out toxins ) - Carry nourishment to the cells ( not reached by blood ) - Protect the body from diseases
29
It is made up of ductless glands that produce hormones that affect the body’s metabolism, growth development, sexual functions, mood, tissue functions and general health of the entire body

38
The sebaceous and sudoriferous glands and skin make up this system:
Integumentary system
39
What is the integumentary system :
Protects the body by aiding in the loss and elimination of water/ waste Defends the body from cuts and abrasions and illnesses

42
What covers, shapes , holds the skeletal system in place, and permits movement and maintains posture
Muscular system
43
Coordinates all other body systems , allowing them to work efficiently and react to the environment
Nervous system
44
Brain, spinal cord, nerves and eyes, all make up :
Nervous system
45
Lymphatic system:
Protects the body from diseases by developing immunities and destroying pathogens and toxins
46
What system destroys pathogens and toxins and how ?

61
Arteries :
flexible tubes that carry oxygenated blood AWAy from the heart to the arteroid
62
Capillaries
-Tiny blood vessels that connect the smaller arteries to the venues - bring nutrients to the cells - carry away any waste material
63
Endocrine Glands
Release hormones directly to the bloodstream - Ductless glands
64
Exocrine Glands
- Duct glands - produce a substance that travels through small tube like ducts
