2.   The respiratory system: This system is responsible for breathing and exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.
3.   The digestive system: This system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients from it.
4.   The nervous system: This system is responsible for transmitting information throughout the body and coordinating the body’s responses to internal and external stimuli.

10.   The integumentary system: This system is made up of the skin, hair, and nails and is responsible for protecting the body from external damage and regulating body temperature.
11.   The lymphatic system: This system is responsible for transporting lymph fluid and immune cells throughout the body.
