examples of digestive sytem

• liver
• rectum
• anus

endocrine system

• collection of glands of an organism that secrete hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs.

examples of endocrine sytem

• thyroid gland
• pancreas
• ovaries
• adrenal
• testicles

EXCRETORY sytem

• passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body.
