- - - - The integumentary system is the largest organ of the body that forms a physical barrier between the external environment and the internal environment that it serves to protect and maintain. The integumentary system includes the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, associated glands, hair, and nails.
    - - Your skeleton supports your body weight to help you stand and move. Joints, connective tissue and muscles work together to make your body parts mobile.
    - - Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
    - - The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, vessels and organs that work together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph back into your circulatory system
    - - Your respiratory system is the system of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work.
    - - The digestive system is made up of organs which are vital for digesting meals and liquids. The organs that take in food and liquids and break them down into substances. Digestive system breaks down and absorbs nutrients from the meals and drinks you devour to apply for essential things like strength, increase and repairing cells.
    - - The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.
    - - The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. This system filters your blood, removing waste and excess water. This waste becomes urine. The most common urinary issues are bladder infections and urinary tract infections
    - - The reproductive system of an organism, also known as the genital system, is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction. Many non-living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system.
- - - - Photoreceptors
        
        Photoreceptors are the cells in the retina and are also sensory receptor that respond to light. Signals from the photoreceptors are sent through the optic nerve to the brain for processing.
      - Chemoreceptors
        
        A chemoreceptor detects changes in the normal environment, such as an increase in blood levels of carbon dioxide or a decrease in blood levels of oxygen. They transmit this information to the central nervous system or our brain which engages body responses to restore homeostasis.
      - Thermoreceptors
        
        The thermoreceptor is a sensory receptor in our body that responds to temperature. Thermoreceptors are able to detect heat and cold. The location and number of thermoreceptors will determine the sensitivity of the skin to temperature changes.
      - Osmoreceptors
        
        Osmoreceptors are also a sensory receptors located in our body that is located in the hypothalamus. This sensory receptor is capable of sensing the concentration of solutes, specifically sodium iron. This reveals the secretion of vasopressin.
      - Mechanoreceptors
        
        The mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor in our body that responds to change in pressure. Mechanoreceptors are involved in detecting stimuli such as touch, pressure, vibration, and sound from the external and internal environments. The mechanoreceptors contain mechanically-gated ion channels which open and close in response to pressure, touch, stretching, and sound.
      - Nociceptors
        
        The nociceptor is unique compared to the other sensory receptors, this sensory receptor works with basically every other receptor if they are intensified to the extreme. When they are intensified to the extreme, they cause pain and nociceptors detect pain.
