I give life to you, you have trillions of me and I have organelles too
cells
you see me like a paper flying if blown, at your body I’m trillions combined
tissues
some of us can be changed, but if one fails in a hospital you’d be paged
organs
we’re usually 9 in your body, we function, you function
organ system
I am the total of them. I am you.
organism
“powerhouse of the cell” makes food for cell
mitochondrion
the mind of the cell, it has its dna
nucleus
stores down broken food and water
vacuole
builds and transports substances through cells
endoplasmic reticulum
encloses, supports, and protects the organelles
cell membrane
having the largest organ (“the covering”) of the body. secretes oil that protects inner organs from heat
integumentary system
the body’s framework. helps in locomotion. to where the muscles are commonly attached
skeletal system
eliminates waste in the body by the use of nodes. produces lymphocytes
lymphatic system
gives shape to the body. manages contractions of the heart, the stomach, and facial expression
muscular system
distributes lymph and oxygen throughout the body organs through the nerves
circulatory system
controls and coordinates body systems. creates self-awareness
nervous system
regulates hormones, growth, and metabolism
endocrine system
breaks complex foods into simple groups to use energy
digestive system
has the lungs, pharynx, trachea, and bronchial tubes
respiratory system
involves the skin, the bladder, the kidneys and the liver in removing toxic wastes
excretory system
to where new life starts, forms and develops
reproductive system
re-alignment of skeletal frame, helps in making new bones & blood, improves mobility, relieves joint pains and sprains
skeletal system
nourishes & develops muscles, makes muscles firm and more elastic, strengthens and energizes weak muscles and relaxes & restores tense muscles, relieves soreness and stiffness of muscles, prevents & reduces adhesions and excessive scarring
muscular system
stimulates the nerves, strong tapping movement excites and energizes nerve centers, gentle stroking calms the nervous system
nervous system
stimulates good blood flow, allows cellular nutrition and wastes elimination, improves blood making process, dilation of capillaries, makes the skin reddish
circulatory system
improves peristalsis preventing constipation, reduces digestive spasms & cramps, aids in metabolism
digestive system
encourages cell regeneration, helps continuing the activity of sweat glands, improves color & elasticity, exfoliation and removal of dead skin cells
integumentary system
improves lung capacity, loosens phlegm and opens airways
respiratory system
eases labor & delivery to pregnant women, may reduce pms, may reduce pregnancy related fluid retention
reproductive system
immune system booster, lymphocytes are regulated properly, mood improvement due to release of hormones
endocrine system
increases urine output and regulates kidney functions
urinary system
