24
It supports the body and provides a framework to cause a movement
skeletal system
25
It also has protective functions
skeletal system
26
are the sites where blood cells are formed.
cavities of the skeleton
27
The hard substance of bones acts as a
storehouse for minerals.
28
to contract, or shorten.
muscular system
29
The mobility of the body as a whole reflects the activity of skeletal muscles, the large, fleshy muscles attached to bones
muscular system
30
These muscles are distinct from the muscles of the heart and of other hollow organs, which move fluids or other substances such as food along definite pathways within the body
muscular system
31
The body must be able to respond to stimuli coming from outside the body
nervous system
32
the body’s fast-acting control system. It consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors
nervous system
33
controls body activities, but it acts much more slowly
endocrine system
34
detect changes in temperature, pressure, or light, and send messages to the central nervous system
sensory receptors
35
endocrine system produce chemical molecules called ____and release them into the blood to travel to relatively distant target organs.
hormones
36
Growth, reproduction, and the use of nutrients by cells are all controlled (at least in part) by
hormones
37
The primary organs of the cardiovascular system
heart and blood vessels
38
delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances to, and picks up wastes such as carbon dioxide from, cells near sites of exchange. W
cardiovascular system
39
help to protect the body from such foreign invaders as bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells.
White blood cells and chemicals in the blood
40
complements that of the cardiovascular system
lymphatic system
41
Lymphatic system Its organs include
lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid organs such as the spleen and tonsils
42
help to cleanse the body
The lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs
43
s to keep the body supplied with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.
respiratory system
44
The respiratory system consists of
nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
45
Within the lungs are
tiny air sacs
46
Gases are exchanged with the blood through the thin walls of these
air sacs
47
is basically a tube running through the body from mouth to anus.
digestive system
48
The organs of the digestive system include
Oral cavity (mouth), esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and rectum plus a number of accessory organs (liver, salivary glands, pancreas,
49
Their role is to break down food and deliver the resulting nutrients to the blood for dispersal to body cells.
digestive system
50
the major function of the digestive system is to
reabsorb water
51
The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as
feces
52
is considered a digestive organ because the bile it produces helps to break down fats.
liver
53
delivers digestive enzymes to the small intestine, has both endocrine and digestive functions.
pancreas
54
happy hormones
Dopamine
55
maintain happy hormones
Serotonin
56
love hormones
Oxytocin
57
A normal part of healthy body function is the production of waste by-products, which must be disposed of
urinary system
58
removes the nitrogen-containing wastes from the blood and flushes them from the body in
urine
59
This system, often called the excretory system
urinary system
60
is to produce offspring
reproductive system
61
The male testes produce
sperm
62
the female ovaries produce
Eggs or ova
63
male reproductive system structures
scrotum, penis, accessory glands, and the duct system,
64
female duct system consists of
female duct system consists of the uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina
65
site for the development of the fetus (immature infant) once fertilization has occurred.
uterus
66
Takes in nutrients, digests them (part of metabolism), and excretes unabsorbed matter (feces)
Digestive system
67
Takes in oxygen, which is required for metabolism, and excretes carbon dioxide
Respiratory system
68
Via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to disposal organs
Cardiovascular system Via the blood, distributes
69
Excretes nitrogen-containing wastes and excess ions
Urinary system
70
Protects the body as a whole from the external environment by maintaining boundaries
Integumentary system
71
pumps blood through vessels to reach all body tissues
Heart
72
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression; maintains posture; produces heat.
Muscular system
73
levels of structural organization
atoms - chemical level cells tissues organ organ system organisms- organismal level
