Endocannabinoid system: neuromodulatory lipids and receptors involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, motor learning, synaptic plasticity, and memory. Endocrine system: communication within the body using hormones made by endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitaryor pituitary gland, pineal body or pineal gland, thyroid, parathyroids, and adrenals or adrenal glands Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails Immune system: the system that fights off disease; composed of leukocytes, tonsils, adenoids, thymus, and spleen. Lymphatic system: structures involved in the transfer of lymph between tissues and the blood stream, the lymph and the nodes andvessels that transport it. Musculoskeletal system: muscles provide movement and a skeleton provides structural support and protection with bones,cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain, spinal cord and nerves Reproductive system: the sex organs; in the female; ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, and in the male;testicles, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis.
