34
The body is divided into two body parts?
1.Axial 2.Appendicular
35
Integumentary system
Skin, Nails, Hair, sweat and sebaceous glands
36
Muscular system
Requires movement and heat
37
Nervous system
cells communicate via neurotransmitters
38
Endocrine system
Hormones alter metabolism of specific target cells
39
Urinary system
Removed waste from blood
40
Organ system
Groups of organs functioning together
41
Organisms
Organisms working together
42
Cardiovascular system
Spreads O2, nutrients and hormones while removing waste from cell
43
Lymphatic system
Drains excess tissue fluid and returns it to blood
44
Respiratory system
Exchanges O2 and CO2
45
Skeletal system
Has tissue that produces blood cells
46
