Fill each of the blanks with the corresponding organ system. Make sure you include the word system (ie “integumentary system” NOT just “integumentary”) The [muscularsystem] is responsible for maintaining body temperature. It is also responsible for allowing movement in conjunction with the [skeletalsystem].  The [endocrinesystem] is responsible for secreting hormones to regulate body systems, such as those that signal the [reproductivesystem] to facilitate the production of gametes. The [respiratorysystem] is responsible for providing oxygen to the blood while the [cardiovascularsystem] transports it to tissues.  The [urinarysystem] is essential in the filtration and removal of excess products such as water and salt from the blood. Additionally, the [urinarysystem] serves to maintain acid-base balance.
