Which of these organ systems least requires the nervous system to function?

The integumentary system (skin) requires the nervous system the least to function compared to other organ systems. While nervous system involvement can help regulate functions of the skin, such as temperature and pain sensing, the skin can still carry out its primary functions of protection, sensation, and temperature regulation even without direct input from the nervous system.
