Introduction to Support Systems

Describe the muscular, skeletal, and integumentary systems

This set of body systems has been grouped together as the “support systems.” Remember, this isn’t a hard-and-fast categorization: these systems are grouped together to help you organize your learning. These support systems provide the structure (and support!) for your body: your muscles, skeleton, and skin.
