Explain the principle of complementarity
|
Structure dictates function
(by looking at the structure of an organ, tissue, or cell you can determine its basic function |
|
|
Name the different levels of structural organization that make up the human body
|
atoms-molecules-cells-tissues-organs-organ system-organism
|
|
|
explain their relationships (levels of structural organization)
|
atoms- the smallest unit of matter, and two or more atoms make a molecule
Molecules- combine together to form structures called cells Cells- basic smallest living unites in the human body and groups of cells make up tissues organs- are different kinds of tissues join together to form body structures organ system- group of related organs that have a common function organism- all the systems of the body combine to make this |

|
|
Function and two organs of the Integumentary system
|
F:regulate body temperature:protects the body: elimates some wastes
O: Hair, skin |
|
|
Function and two organs of the skeletal system
|
F: supports and protects the body. assists with body movements, stores cells that produce blood cells
O: Cartilage and any bone of the body |
|
|
Function and two organs of the muscular system
|
F: participates in bringing about movement, maintains posture, and produces heat
O: Tendons and skeletal muscles |
|
|
Function and two organs of the nervous system
|
F: regulates body activies through nerve impulses which bring about muscular contractions of glandular secretions
O: brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory organs |
|
|
Function and two organs of the endocrine system
|
F:regulates body activities through hormones transported by the blood to various target organs.
O: Thymus, adrenal gland |
|
|
Function and two organs of the cardiovascular system
|
F: blood carries oxygen and nutrients to gells and carbond dioxide and wastes away from them. Helps regulate acidty, temperature. Heart pumps blood
O: heart, blood, blood vessels |
|
|
Function and two organs of the lymphatic system
|
F: returns proteins and fluid to blood, carries lipids from gastronintestinal tract to blood
O: Lymphatic vessel, lymph node |
|
|
Function and two organs of the immune system
|
F: contains sites of maturation and proliferation of B cells and T cells that protect against disease causing organisms
O: Spleen, thoracic duct |
|
|
Function and two organs of the respiratory system
|
F: transgers oxygen to blood, and carbon dioxide from the blood to the air, helps regulate acidity of body fuids
O: Larynx, pharynx, lungs, bronchus |
|
|
Function and two organs of the digestive system
|
F: achieves physical and chemical breakdown of food, absorbs nutrients, elminates solid wastes
O: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines |
|
|
Function and two organs of the urinary system
|
F: produces, store, and eliminates urine; eliminates wastes and regulates volume and chemical composition of blood
O: kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra |
|
|
Function and two organs of the reproductive system
|
F: releases hormones that regulate reporduction and other body processes; associated organs transport and store gametes
O: ovary, uterus, vagina |
|
|

|
the body;s means to maintain a stable internal environment even thought the external environment is constantly changing
|
|
|
