Body System Functions

Allows for movement (body parts, digestion, circulation)

• skeletal system

• nervous system

• muscular system

• endocrine system

• integumentary system

Provides a barrier against injury and infection, helps regulate body temperature, protects against dehydration, secretes sweat and gases

• immune / lymphatic system

• digestive system

• integumentary system

• excretory system

• nervous

  system

Produces reproductive cells; produces hormones; nurtures developing embryo (female)

• endocrine system

• reproductive system

• excretory system

• digestive system

• skeletal system

Eliminates waste products from the body

• immune / lymphatic system

• excretory system

• digestive system
