​ Major Organ Systems:

● Integumentary System: Skin, hair, nails; protects the body and regulates temperature.
● Skeletal System: Bones and joints; provides support, protection, and facilitates movement.
● Muscular System: Muscles; enables movement and provides support.
● Nervous System: Brain, spinal cord, nerves; controls body activities and processes sensory
information.
● Endocrine System: Glands that produce hormones; regulates body functions and
processes.
● Cardiovascular System: Heart and blood vessels; transports nutrients, oxygen, and
hormones.
● Lymphatic System: Lymph nodes, vessels; supports immune function and fluid balance.
● Respiratory System: Lungs and airways; exchanges gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
● Digestive System: Organs involved in digestion and nutrient absorption.
