    The document summarizes the functions and interactions of four major body systems: 1) The integumentary system acts as a barrier against infection, helps regulate body temperature, removes waste, and protects against UV rays. It works with the excretory, nervous, and immune systems. 2) The lymphatic system stores and carries white blood cells to fight disease, and collects and returns excess fluid to the blood. It works with the immune and circulatory systems. 3) The reproductive system allows organisms to reproduce to prevent species extinction. In females, the ovaries produce eggs and interact with the endocrine system; the uterus contracts during birth interacting with muscles. In males the testes produce sperm.
