- - - - Reproductive System
        The reproductive system is made up of gonads, or sex organs, as well as a variety of additional organs and accessories. The reproductive system's ultimate purpose is the creation of offspring from the egg and sperm, as well as the species' survival. Male and female reproductive systems are quite distinct, although they both play a role in successful reproduction.
        
        Integumentary System
        The integumentary system is the body's largest organ, accounting for 15-20% of total body mass. Our skin, hair, and nails are all part of it. It serves as a physical, chemical, and biological barrier. The skin regulates body temperature and prevents water loss. It conveys touch, pain, and pleasure sensations and regulates body temperature by secreting perspiration. Hair moisturizes the scalp, which secretes pheromones that cool or warm our heads. Our fingers, which are a vital instrument for safeguarding ourselves and supplying food, shelter, and sensations, are protected by our nails. When the body is damaged by open wounds, infectious organisms can enter the body, making us the most vulnerable.
    - - Urinary System
        Urine, the fluid waste discharged by the kidneys, is produced, stored, and eliminated by the urinary system, also known as the renal system. The kidneys remove wastes and excess water from the blood to produce urine. Urine passes from the kidneys to the bladder via two narrow tubes called ureters.
        
        Immune System
        The immune system is made up of special organs, cells and chemicals that fight infection (microbes). The main parts of the immune system are: white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow. Our immune system is essential for our survival. Without an immune system, our bodies would be open to attack from bacteria, viruses, parasites, and more. It is our immune system that keeps us healthy as we drift through a sea of pathogens.
- - - - Cell specialization, also known as cell differentiation, is the transformation of generic cells into specialised cells that perform specific functions in the body. In the development of embryos, cell specialization is crucial. Adult stem cells are designed to replace cells in the bone marrow, brain, heart, and blood that have worn out.
        
        Scientists are currently looking at the possibility of employing adult stem cells to treat diseases like diabetes and heart disease; they believe stem cells could be stimulated to specialize and replace damaged cells in the heart or pancreas. Bone marrow transplants are already used to help leukemia patients manufacture more white blood cells and to treat certain types of breast cancer.
