Briefly describe its major physiological functions.
Identify the associated organs.
Explain the relationship between normal system function and dysfunction.
Provide one example of how dysfunction can lead to disease.
Examine the interdependence of physiological systems in both health and disease.
Briefly describe the importance of homeostasis as it relates to our health.
