1.

integumentary system

The integumentary system is the organsystem that protects the body from various kinds of damage, such as loss of water or abrasion from outside. The system comprises the skin and its appendages (including hair, scales, feathers, hooves, and nails).

2.

skeletal system

protects and support body organs and provides a framework the muscle use to cause movement.Blood cells are formed within the the bones.Bones store minerals.

3.

Muscular system

Allows manipulation of the environment , locomotion and facial expression , Mantains posture and produces heat

4.

Nervous system

As the fast acting control system of the body , it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscle and glands

5.

Endocrine system

Gland secrete hormones that regulate process such as growth ,reproduction and nutrient use (metabolism by body cells

6.

Cardiovascular system

Blood vessels transport blood , which carries oxygen ,carbon dioxide, nutrients waste, etc.The heart pumps blood

7.

Lymphatic system/immunity

picks up fluid from blood vessels and return it to blood .Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream .Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes )involved in immunity

8.

Respiratory system

keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide

9.

Digestive system

breaks down food into more absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells to indigesable food stuff are eliminated as feces.

10.

Urinary system

Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water electrolyte and electrolyte and acid base balance of the the blood.

11.

anabolism

breaking down substances into simpler building blocks

12.

Anabolism

synthesizing more complex cellular from simpler substances

The serous membranes

Are double thin layer composed of connective and epithelial tissue.they line the walls of the thoracic and abdominal cavities and then fold back to cover the organs within the cavities.A slippery serous fluid produced by the cells of the membrane is found in between the two layers. This fluid permits the free sliding of the two layers during movement. THE portion of the membrane attached to an organ is called the visceral layer. The external layer or the portion of the membrane that attaches the body wall is called the parietal layer.
