Made up of cells organized according to specialization to maintain homeostasis

NERVOUS SYSTEM

responses of the body; also responsible for

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Sperm enter female perpetuation of the species
See Chapter 18.

all other systems
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Transports nutrients, O , CO , wastes, electrolytes, and hormones throughout the body
EXTERNAL See Chapters 9, 10, an2d 11.2
ENVIRONMENT
Each chapter begins with a system-specifi c version of the pictorial homeostatic
model above that depicts how the body system discussed in the chapter functions
within the body as a whole. The accompanying icon marks a special section at each
chapter’s end that focuses on how the system contributes to homeostasis.
Together these features will give you a better perspective on homeostasis and the
interdependency of body systems.
