1. Name the organ systems of the body, and briefly state the major functions of
each system.

•
Muscular System –
The muscular system is responsible for human body movement. The
body's overall movement, such as walking, running, and manipulating objects with the hands,
is controlled by the contraction of skeletal muscles.
• Nervous System.
Receiving sensory output - Sensory receptors detect a wide range of external
and internal stimuli.
Integrating Information - The brain and spinal cord are the primary organs
for processing sensory input and initiating responses. The input may produce
an immediate answer, be stored as memory, or be ignored.
