Nervous System, Hormones, Senses

Front 1

how many organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis?

Back 1

eleven

Front 2

Nervous system

Back 2

structures: brain, spinal chord, peripheral nerves
Function: cordinates body's response to changes in its internal and external enviornmnets

Front 3

Integumentary system

Back 3

structures: skin, hair, nails, sweat, and oil glands
function: serves as a barrier against infection and injury; helps to regulate body temperature; probides protection against ultraviolet radiation from the sun

Front 4

respiratory system

Back 4

structure: nose, pharnyx, larnyx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs

function: provides oxygen needed for cellular respiration and removes excess carbon dioxide from the body

Front 5

digestive system

Back 5

structures: mouth, pharnyx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines

function: converts food into simpler molecules that can be used by the cells of the body; absorbs food

Front 6

excretory system

Back 6

structures: skin, lungs, kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, uretha,

function: eliminates waste products of metabolism from the body; maintains homeostasis

Front 7

skeletal system

Back 7

structures: bones, cartilage, ligaments, tedons

functions: supports the body; protects internal organs; allows movement; stores mineral reserves; provides site for blood cell formation

Front 8

muscular system:

Back 8

structures: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle

Function: works with skeletal system to produce voluntary movement; helps circulate blood and move food through the digestive system

Front 9

circulatory system

Back 9

structures: heart, blood vessels, blood

function: brings oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells; fights infection; regulates body temperature

Front 10

endocrine system

Back 10

stuctures: hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries (in females), testes (in males)

functions: controls growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction

Front 11

reproduction system

Back 11

structures: testes, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, penis; ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina

function: produces reproductive cells; in females, nutures and protects the developing embryo

Front 12

lympatic system

Back 12

structures: white blood cells, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, lymph vessels

functions: helps protect the body from disease; collects fluid from lost from blood vessels and returns the fluid to the circulatory system

Front 13

muscle tissue

Back 13

the most abundant tissue in most animals, controls the internal movement of materials such as the circulatory system and food through the digestive system, also controls external movements of the entire body or parts of the body

Front 14

epithelial tissue

Back 14

tissue that covers the surface of the body and lines internal organs, glands are made from this tissue

Front 15

connective system

Back 15

holds organ and binds different parts of the body, provides support for the body, keeps walls of the heart flexible, but strong, and insulates and pads parts of the body

Front 16

nervous tissue

Back 16

recieves messages from the body's external and internal enviornments, analyzes the data, and directs the response

Front 17

3 types of neurons

Back 17

-sensory
-inter-neuron
-motor
