Each body system has many functions. In fact, each system has many more functions than what a seven minute video clip can cover! Below is a list of major overall body system functions. In each box, write the name of the body system that best fits the description. The wording is not necessarily identical to the video clip---you may need to think about these!

Answer 1

Here are the body systems that best fit each description:

1. Integumentary System - protects from water loss and outside environment.
2. Endocrine System - major role in hormone production.
3. Respiratory System - major role in gas exchange.
4. Excretory (or Urinary) System - excretes waste material and is very important for homeostasis.
5. Immune System - provides active defense against pathogens.
6. Digestive System - involved in the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.
7. Muscular System - allows for movement.
8. Reproductive System - provides the ability to reproduce.
9. Circulatory System - transports gases and nutrients.
10. Skeletal System - supports the body with structure.
11. Nervous System - coordinates involuntary and voluntary responses.
