There are eleven organ systems in the body that are composed of different organs that have similar functions.
First, there is the integumentary system which is comprised of the skin, sweat glands, oil glands, hair, fingernails, and toenails.
Next, the skeleton system has bones, joints, and cartilage.
The muscular system, on the other hand, only has skeletal muscle tissue.
The nervous system is constituted of the nerves, spinal cord, and of course the brain.
Then the endocrine system has the following: gonads (ovaries and testes), pineal gland, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thymus, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, and there are still more cells in charge of hormone production in other organs.
The cardiovascular gland is constituted of the blood, heart, and blood vessels.
Lymphatic fluid, vessels, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils, and cells that execute immune responses make up the lymphatic system.
The respiratory system is made up of the lungs, pharynx and larynx, trachea, and bronchial tubes.
The digestive system has the following as its components: mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and the anus. Additionally, the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas assist in the processes of digestion.
Next, the urinary system has the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
Lastly, there is the reproductive system. In females, the organs involved are the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and mammary glands. In males, testes, epididymis, ductus, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis.

The organ systems that regulate acid-base balance in body fluid are the respiratory system and the urinary system.
