cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
Skeletal System - correct answer 1. Makeup: Bones
2. Function: Supports and protects the body's organs and tissues, and allows for movement.
Integumentary System - correct answer 1. Makeup: Skin (epidermis, dermis, hypodermis)
2. Function: Supports and protects the body's organs and tissues, and allows for movement.
