|
|
Made up of skin, hair, nails, sweat, oil glands; helps regulate body temperature, protects the body, helps make vitamin D
|
Integumentary System
|
|
|
All the bones of the body; supports and protects the body, assists with body movements
|
Skeletal System
|
|
|
Specifically refers to the skeletal muscle tissue; participates in bringing about movement, maintains posture, and produces heat
|
Muscular System
|
|
|
Contains the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs; regulates body activities through nerve impulses by detecting changes in the environment, interpreting the changes, and responding to the changes by bringing about muscular contractions or glandular secretions
|
Nervous System
|
|
|
All glands and tissues that produce chemical regulators of body functions, called hormones. Regulates body activities through hormones to various target organs.
|
Endocrine System
|
|
|
Blood, Heart, and blood vessels.
Heart pumps blood through blood vessels, blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells and helps regulate acidity, temperature, and water content of body fluids. |
Cardiovascular System.
|
|
|
Lymphatic fluid and vessels, spleen, lymph nodes and tonsils;
returns proteins and fluid to blood, carries lipids from gastrointestinal tract to blood, contains cells that protect against disease causing organisms. |
Lymphatic and Immune System
|
|
|
Lungs and air passageways such as pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchial tubed leading into and out of them. Transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood and carbon dioxide from blod to exhaled air
|
Respiratory System
|
|
|
organs of gastrointestinal tract, including the mouth, the esophagus, the stomach, small and large intestines, rectum, and anus.
Achieves physical and chemical breakdown of food. |

|
|
|
Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
Produces, stores, and eliminates urine, eliminaes wastes and regulates volume and chemical composition of blood |
Urinary System
|
|
|
Gonads and associated organs, uterine tubes, uterus and vagina in females, epididymis, vas deferens, and penis in males
|
Reproductive System
|
|
|
The 6 characteristics that all living organisms posses that set them apart from living things
|

Homeostasis
|
The maintenance of relatively stable conditions
|
|
|
a cycle of events in which the status of a body condition is continually monitored, evaluated, changed, remonitored, reevaluated, and so on.
|
Feedback System
|
|
|
body structure that monitors changes in a controlled condition and sends the information to a control center
