Helps regulate body temperature; protects the body; eliminates some wastes; helps make vitamin D; detects sensations such as touch, pressure, pain, warmth, and cold are the functions of what system?

Back 12

Integumentary

Front 13

Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and special sense organs such as the eyes and ears are components of what system?

Back 13

Nervous

Front 15

Bones and joints of the body and their associated cartilages are the components of what system?

Back 15

Skeletal

Front 16

Supports and protects the body, provides a specific area for muscle attachment, assists with the body movements, stores cells that produce blood cells and stores minerals and lipids (fats) are the functions what system?
