Describe the nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and sensory systems
The first set of body systems we’ll learn about have been grouped together as the “control systems.” It is important to remember that this isn’t a hard-and-fast categorization: we’ve simply grouped these systems together to help you organize your learning. These control systems all function in roles that control the signals that direct your body’s actions.
What You’ll Learn to Do
- Identify the structure and function of the nervous system
- Identify the structure and function of the endocrine system
- Identify the structure and function of the reproductive system
- Identify the structure and function of the sensory systems
Learning Activities
The learning activities for this section include the following:
- Nervous System
- Endocrine System
- Reproductive System
- Sensory Systems
- Self Check: Control Systems
