Role of organ systems Organ systems are collections of organs and tissues that perform a general function for the body. Match the following descriptions with the correct organ system. Cardiovascular system Produces hormones that coordinate organ systems Integumentary system Protects against disease and regulates body fluids Skeletal system Provides support and protection Lymphatic and immune systems Excretes waste material and balances pH and fluid levels Respiratory System Transports nutrients and wastes Digestive system Digests and processes food for nutrients Reproductive system Produces gametes Urinary System Receives stimuli from the environment and processes responses
