✔✔Body Functions 5
Endocrine - ✔✔Long term changes in other organs
Adjusts metabolic activity and energy
Controls structural & functional changes during development
Ex: pancreas, thyroid gland, gonads, adrenal glands
✔✔Body Functions 6
Cardiovascular - ✔✔* Distributes heat & assists in controls body temperature
* Distributes blood cells, water and dissolved materials including nutrients, waste
products, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
Ex: heart, blood, blood vessels
✔✔Body Functions 7
Lymphatic - ✔✔Defends infection and disease
Returns tissue fluids to the blood stream
