1. Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails.2. Skeletal system: structural support and protection with bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.3. Muscular system: movement with muscles.4. Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and nerves.5. Endocrine system: communication within the body using hormones made by endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary or pituitary gland, pineal body or pineal gland,
thyroid, parathyroids and adrenals, i.e., adrenal glands.;)

Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents with leukocytes, tonsils, adenoids, thymus and spleen.
8. Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm.9. Digestive system: digestion and processing food with salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines, rectum and anus.10. Urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra involved in fluid balance, electrolyte balance and excretion of urine."11.
