The Functions and Systems of the Human Body
Homeostasis: to maintain a stable internal environment
Muscular System: to move skeleton, organ muscles; heart is a muscle
Skeletal System: provides structure; protects organs; supports body; RBC/WBC
Integementary System: provides as barrier agains infection and injury; regulates body tempurature; removes waste
Nervous System: controls body
Circulatory System: circulate nutrients and oxygen
Respiratory System: to exchange gasses; O2/CO2
Digestive System: breaks down food to get energy
Excretory System: to get rid of waste
Reproductive System: to produce offspring
Endocrine System: produces hormones; sends messages

Critical Questions
How do all our body systems work together to create homeostasis?
Our systems work together to maintain a stable environment with the muscular system that keeps to heart beating, the skeletal system that produces o right amount of blood calls, the integumentary that regulates body temperature, the nervous system reacts and responds, the circulatory system supports us with O2, the respiratory system gets O2 into our bodies, the digestive system gives us energy, the excretory system removes waste, the reproductive system reproduces, the endocrine system supplies us with hormones that keep our bodies balanced.
