    The document discusses the tundra, savanna, integumentary system, and musculoskeletal system. The tundra has cold temperatures, low precipitation, and few species adapted to survive the harsh conditions. Plants in the tundra have adaptations like shallow roots and thick waxy leaves. Animals have adaptations like thick fur and layers of fat. The savanna has warm temperatures, distinct wet and dry seasons, and is dominated by grasses. Many savanna animals have adaptations like speed or camouflage to avoid predators. The integumentary system includes the skin, hair, and nails which act as a protective barrier and regulate temperature. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, cartilage, muscles, and joints which provide
