Front 20

Skeletal

Back 20

bones, cartilages, ligaments, bone marrow

support and protection of other tissues, stores calcium and minerals, forms blood cells

Muscular

Back 21

skeletal muscles and associated tendons

movement, protection and support, generates heat

Front 22

nervous

Back 22

brain, spinal cord, perpheral nerves, sense organs

directs immediate responses to stimuli, coordinates or moderates activites of other organ systems, provides sensory infor about external conditions

Front 23

endocrine

Back 23

pituitary, tyroid, pancreas, adrenal, gonads

long term changes in activites of other organ systems, adjusts metabolic activity and energy use by the body, controls many structural and functional changes during development

Front 24

Circulatory/Cardiovascular
