| immune system | a complex response system that protects the body from bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances; consists of the lymph nodes, tonsils, glands, and various blood cells (white, T cells, B cells). Also known as the lymphatic system. |
| nervous system | The network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body due to internal and external stimuli. |
| musculoskeletal system | the system of bones and skeletal muscles which work together that support and protect the body and permit movement (refers to both the muscular and skeletal system) |
| cardiovascular system | the transport system of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes; composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Also known as the circulatory system. |
| integumentary system | Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail |
| Urinary system | Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood. Includes kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. |
