• Just like a soccer team has players each with a specific role (like a striker or a goalie), our bodies have systems. System integration is about how all these "players" (or systems) work together to win the "game" (or keep us alive and kicking).

Real-world example: Imagine trying to bake a cake. 🎂 You have ingredients like flour, eggs, sugar, etc. Each of these is a component, and how they come together, mix, and bake represents system integration!

• All living things (from zebras to zucchinis) use multiple systems to do life stuff.
• Inside these systems, there are smaller subsystems (like the little gears inside a watch) that help with the bigger function.

Real-world example: Think of a city 🌆. The transportation system has buses, trains, and taxis (subsystems) that all come together to move people around the city.

These systems and subsystems have to coordinate with each other. It's like a dance! They need to know when to move and how to work together.
