  We review the application of non-relativistic constituent quark models to
study one, two and three non-strange baryon systems. We present results for the
baryon spectra, potentials and observables of the NN, N$\Delta$, $\Delta\Delta$
and NN$^*(1440)$ systems, and also for the binding energies of three
non-strange baryon systems. We make emphasis on observable effects related to
quark antisymmetry and its interplay with quark dynamics.
