Integumentary system

protection from environmental hazards and temperature control

Skeletal system

Support, protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, blood formation.

Nervous system

Directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems.

Endocrine system

Directing long-term changes indie activities of other organ systems

Cardiovascular system

Internal transport of cells and dissolved materials, including nutrients, waste, and gases
