|
|
What is the general function of the Integumentary System? (4) |
* Forms external body covering * Protects deeper tissue from injury * Synthesizes Vitamin D * Houses cutaneous pain receptors and sweat and oil glands |
|
|
What is the general function of the Skeletal System? (3) |
* Protects & supports body organs * Provides framework for movement * Bones form blood cells & store minerals |
|
|
What is the general function of the Muscular System? (5) |
* Allows manipulation of the environment * Locomotion * Facial expression * Maintains posture * Produces heat |
|
|
What is the general function of the Nervous System? (2) |
* Fast acting control center of the body * Responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands |
|
|
What is the general function of the Endocrine System? |
* Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells |
|
|
What is the general function of the Cardiovascular System? (4) |
* Blood vessels transport blood * Carry oxygen & carbon dioxide * Carry nutrients & wastes * Pumps blood |
|
|
What is the general function of the Lymphatic System (Immunity)? (4) |
* Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to the blood * Disposes of debris * Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) * Immune response mounts an attack against foreign substances in the body |
|
|
What is the general function of the Respiratory System? (3) |
* Keeps blood supplied with oxygen * Removes carbon dioxide * These gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs |
|
|
What is the general function of the Digestive System? (2) |
* Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells * Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces |
|
|
What is the general function of the Urinary System? (2) |
* Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body * Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood |
|
|
What is the general function of the Male and Female Reproductive Systems? (3) |
* Production of offspring * Male: testes - sperm, sex hormone * Female: ovaries - eggs, sex hormone * Female: fertilization of development of fetus, mammary glands produce milk |
