EndocrineIntegumentaryReproductive
1.facilitates the continuation of a species
2.uses hormones to help regulate the body’s activities
3.filters waste from blood to be expelled form the body
4.acquires oxygen for the body and releases carbon dioxide
5.works with the above system to move oxygen to all cells and remove
Carbon dioxide
6.breaks down large molecules so it can be absorbed by the body
7.uses electrical impulses to control the body’s activities
