RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:
When your body is in stress, your start breathing faster, taking in more oxygen into your body. Oxygen is inhaled into our lungs and carried by our blood from the heart and to the rest of the body. When oxygen is distributed into the cells, carbon dioxide and other waste products are carried back to the heart from the body and back into the lungs where it is exhaled.
URINARY SYSTEM:
This system includes the skin, digestive system, kidneys, urinary system, bladder, and urethra. It's job is to remove waste from the body in order to help maintain the body's homeostasis. Long term effects of stress on body system: kidney stones, bladder infections, cystitis, and kidney infections.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM:
Digestion is controlled by the enteric nervous system, a system composed of hundreds of millions of nerves that communicate with the central nervous system. When stress activates the "flight or fight" response in your central nervous system, digestion can shut down because your central nervous system shuts down blood flow, affects the contractions of your digestive muscles, and decreases secretions needed for digestion. Stress can cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal system, and make you more susceptible to infection.
