| the __________________ system controls the coordination of the body function using regulatory molecules | endocrine system coordinates the functions of the body using regulatory molecules |
| what is the function of the immune system | defense against foreign invaders |
| what organ system is the skin classified under | integumentary system |
| the function of the _________________ system is the protect the body from the external envirmonment | the integumentary system protect the body from an external environment |

| name the four main types of tissue in the human body | epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and neural tissue |
| name five survival needs | 1) nutrients, 2) oxygen, 3) water, 4) normal body temp. and 5) atmospheric pressure |
| why does the human body need nutrients | energy and cell building |
