Physiology = study of how the body functions. Integumentary system: protection from environmental hazards ( temp control) Skeletal system: support, protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, blood formation. Muscular system: locomotion, support, heat production (one muscle acts on a joint and ends a muscle) Nervous system: directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems. Endocrine system : directing long-term changes in the activities of other organ systems. Cardiovascular system: internal transport of cells and dissolved materials, including nutrients wastes and gases (blood in the heart is on a two way system) Lymphatic system : defence against infection and disease. Respiratory system : delivery of air to sites where gas exchange can occur between the air and circulating blood (capillaries are the smallest blood vessels ) Digestive system: processing of food and absorption of organic nutrients, minerals, vitamins and water (mouth to ass one huge tube nigga)
