Levels of Organization

Back 4

Chemicals --> Cells --> Tissues --> Organs --> System --> Organism

-Living matter is derived from simple chemicals.

-These chemicals are formed into the complex
substances that make living cells--the basic units of all life.

-Specialized groups of cells form tissues. -Tissues may function together as organs.

-Organs working together for the same general purpose make up the body systems.

-All of the systems work together to maintain the body as a whole organism.

Name the 11 body systems

Back 5

-The integumentary system
-The skeletal system
-The muscular system
-The nervous system
-The endocrine system
-The cardiovascular system
-The lymphatic system
-The respiratory system
-The digestive system
-The urinary system
-The reproductive system

Front 6

The body systems for protection, support, and movement

Back 6

-The integumentary system
The word integument means skin. The structures associated with the skin include the hair, the nails, and the sweat and oil glands.

-The skeletal system
The basic framework of the body is a system of 206 bones and the joints between them, collectively known as the skeleton.

-The muscular system
The muscles in this system are attached to the bones and produce movement of the skeleton.

What is the difference between skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles?

Back 7

-Skeletal muscles are voluntary. You move them when you want. They give the body structure, protect organs, and maintain posture.

-Smooth muscles are not under your voluntary control. They are present in the walls of body organs, such as the stomach and the intestine.

-The cardiac muscle are not under your voluntary control. They make up the wall of the heart.

Front 8

The body systems for coordination and control

Back 8

-The nervous system
The brain, the spinal cord and the nerves.

-The endocrine system
Hormones that regulate body activities such as growth, food utilization within the cells, and reproduction.

Examples of endocrine glands are the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands.

The body systems for circulation

Back 9

-The cardiovascular system


-The lymphatic system

Front 10

The body system for nutrition and fluid balance

Back 10

-The respiratory system
-The digestive system
-The urinary system

Front 11

The body system for production of offspring

Back 11

-The reproductive system

Front 12

What is the difference between catabolism and anabolism?

Back 12

Catabolism is the break down and the anabolism is the build up.

Catabolism - When you take in something complex and break it down to something simple.

Anabolism - Simple compounds are used to manufacture materials needed for growth, function, and repair of tissues. Anabolism is the build up phase of metabolism.

Homeostasis

Back 13

Body temperature, body fluid composition, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure must be kept within set limits to maintain health. The steady state within the organism is called homeostasis, which literally means staying (stasis) the same (Homeo)

Homeostasis - Keeping internal balance
