10. Respiratory System
Responsible for breathing. Parts: Lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm. Adds oxygen to the blood (and removes carbon dioxide from the blood).
11. Skin System
Organ system that includes hair, skin and the underlying structures of connective tissue, including fat, glands, and blood vessels and nails. Skin provides barrier protection between the inside of the body and the external environment. And provides sensory information and regulates body temperature.
12. Urinary System
Consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Function: Filters waste products from the blood and removes wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte balance.
