Integumentary system Lymphatic system Urinary system Digestive system
-Protects underlying tissues, regulates body temperature, houses sensory receptors, and synthesizes various substances -Carries certain fatty substances away from the digestive organs, and aids in defending the body against disease-causing agents -Filters wastes from the blood and helps maintain water and electrolyte concentrations and the acidity of the internal environment -Receives foods, breaks down food molecules into nutrients that can pass through cell membranes, and eliminates materials that are not absorbed
