bone, cartilages, ligaments, and joints
skeletal system
produces movement of bones
muscular system
smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscles, muscles contract (or shorten)
muscular system
responds to internal and external stimuli, accesses info and activities effectors (muscles and glands)
Nervous system
nerves, spinal cord, and sensory receptors
Nervous system
secretes chemical molecules, called hormones, into the blood. controlled by hormones include: growth, reproduction, use of nutrients
endocrine system
pituitary gland, thyroid & parathyroids, adrenal gland, thymus, pancreas, pineal gland, Ovaries F, Testes M
endocrine system
circulates blood, oxygen, hormones, and carbon dioxide through the body
cardiovascular system
contains heart, blood vessels, veins, and arteries
cardiovascular system
works with cardiovascular system, cleanses the blood, houses white blood cells
Lymphatic system
contains lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs
lymphatic system
gases are exchanged with the blood through air sacs in the lungs, supplies the body with oxygen, removes carbon dioxide
respiratory system
includes nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs
respiratory system
breaks down food, allows for the nutrient absorption into blood, eliminates indigestible material as feces
digestive system
oral cavity (mouth), esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, rectum and accessory organs
digestive system
eliminates nitrogenous wastes, maintains acid-base balance, regulates water and electrolyte balance, helps regulate normal blood pressure
urinary system
kidneys, ureters, urinary bladders, and urethra
urinary system
M: Testes produce sperm, system carries sperm to exterior
F: ovaries produce eggs, uterus provides site of development for fetus
reproductive system
Testes, scrotum, penis, accessory glands, duct system, ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus and, vagina
reproductive system
atoms, cells, tissues, organs, organs systems, and organisms
6 levels of organization
protected by trunk muscles, contains the stomach, liver and other organs
superior abdominal cavity
protected somewhat by bony pelvis, contains reproductive organs, blander, and rectum
inferior pelvic cavity
other body cavities
oral and digestive, nasal, orbital, middle ear
