Define Body Systems -: Body systems are groups of organs and tissues that work together to perform specific functions essential for survival. These systems maintain homeostasis by coordinating activities like nutrient transport, waste removal, and response to the environment. [1][2] ● Major Systems The human body typically includes 11 main organ systems, though some classifications combine the skeletal and muscular into one musculoskeletal system. [1][3] ● Each system has distinct roles :- - **Integumentary**: Protects against injury and regulates temperature via skin, hair, and nails. [1][3] - **Skeletal**: Provides structure, support, and blood cell production through bones and cartilage. [1][3] - **Muscular**: Enables movement, posture, and heat generation with skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. [1][3] - **Nervous**: Detects stimuli and coordinates responses using the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. [1][3] ● Key Functions Systems interconnect; for example, the cardiovascul...
