1.2.2 The 11 Systems of the Human Body Flashcards
Name the system:
Components: Skin and associated structures, such as hair, fingernails and toenails, sweat glands, and oil glands.
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Bones and joints of the body and their associated cartilages.
SKELETAL SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Specifically, skeletal muscle tissue—muscle usually attached to bones (other muscle tissues include smooth and cardiac).
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and special sense organs, such as eyes and ears.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Hormone-producing glands (pineal gland, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thymus, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes) and hormone-producing cells in several other organs.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Blood, heart, and blood vessels.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Lymphatic fluid and vessels; spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and tonsils; cells that carry out immune responses (B cells, T cells, and others).
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY
Name the system:
Components: Lungs and air passageways such as the pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), and bronchial tubes leading into and out of lungs.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Organs of gastrointestinal tract, a long tube that includes the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus (food tube), stomach, small and large intestines, and anus; also includes accessory organs that assist in digestive processes, such as salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
URINARY SYSTEM
Name the system:
Components: Gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) and associated organs (uterine tubes or fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and mammary glands in females and epididymis, ductus or (vas) deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis in males).

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Protects body; helps regulate body temperature; eliminates some wastes; helps make vitamin D; detects sensations such as touch, pain, warmth, and cold; stores fat and provides insulation.
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Supports and protects body; provides surface area for muscle attachments; aids body movements; houses cells that produce blood cells; stores minerals and lipids (fats).
SKELETAL SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Participates in body movements, such as walking; maintains posture; produces heat.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Generates action potentials (nerve impulses) to regulate body activities; detects changes in body’s internal and external environments, interprets changes, and responds by causing muscular contractions or glandular secretions.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Regulates body activities by releasing hormones (chemical messengers transported in blood from endocrine gland or tissue to target organ).
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells and helps regulate acid–base balance, temperature, and water content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and repair damaged blood vessels.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Returns proteins and fluid to blood; carries lipids from gastrointestinal tract to blood; contains sites of maturation and proliferation of B cells and T cells that protect against disease-causing microbes.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY
Name the system: Functions: Transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to exhaled air; helps regulate acid–base balance of body fluids; air flowing out of lungs through vocal cords produces sounds.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Achieves physical and chemical breakdown of food; absorbs nutrients; eliminates solid wastes.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Produces, stores, and eliminates urine; eliminates wastes and regulates volume and chemical composition of blood; helps maintain the acid–base balance of body fluids; maintains body’s mineral balance; helps regulate production of red blood cells.
URINARY SYSTEM
Name the system: Functions: Gonads produce gametes (sperm or oocytes) that unite to form a new organism; gonads also release hormones that regulate reproduction and other body processes; associated organs transport and store gametes; mammary glands produce milk
