Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary functions of the organ systems in the human body. These include facilitating movement, regulating body temperature, and transporting nutrients and oxygen.
Understand that facilitating movement is primarily the function of the muscular and skeletal systems.
Recognize that regulating body temperature is a function of the integumentary system, which includes the skin, and the circulatory system.
Acknowledge that transporting nutrients and oxygen is a function of the circulatory system, which includes the heart and blood vessels.
Note that producing energy from sunlight is not a function of human organ systems. This process, known as photosynthesis, occurs in plants, not humans.
