Brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves that branch throughout the body.
Connective Tissue
Loose: Adipose Tissue Dense: Tendons, ligaments Cartilage: Nose Bone: Blood: blood cells make up blood tissue
Integumentary System
Protects against environmental hazards: helps control body temperature
Skeletal System
Provides support; protects tissues; stores minerals; forms blood cells
Muscular System
Allows for locomotion; provides support; produces heat
Nervous System
Directs immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems
Endocrine System
Directs long-term changes in activities of other organ systemsf
Cardiovascular System
Transports cells and dissolved materials including nutrients, wastes, and gases
Lymphatic System
Defends against infection and disease; returns tissue fluid to the bloodstream
