Biology 7 (Organ Systems) Flashcards
What is the funtion of the circulatory system
- Moves oxygen from the lungs to all the body cells
- Moves carbon dioxide from the body cells to the lungs
- Moves nutrients from the small intestine to the body cells
- Moves waste materials from the body cells to the kidneys and skin
What is the function of the lymphatic system
- The lymphatic system aids the immune system in destroying pathogens and filtering waste.
- To remove excess fluid, waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, cancer cells, and toxins from these cells and the tissue spaces between them.
- The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.
What is the function of the respiratory system
Breathing
What is the function of the nervous system
The control system that enables animals to detect a stimulus and coordinate a response
What is the function of the endocrine system
The endocrine system sends messages to control and coordinate the body’s internal environment
What is the function of the skeletal system
- Protection
- Blood-cell production
- Mineral storage
- Support for your muscle
- Locomotion
What is the function of the muscular system
- Locomotion
What is the function of the digestive system
to digest and absorb food
What is the function of the immune system
defends the body against infection, whilst protecting the body’s own cells
What is the function of the reproductive system
To produce egg and sperm cells
What is the function of the excratory system
Waste removal
- Lungs eliminate CO2
- Digestive system produces solid waste which is eliminated by large intestine
- Kidneys make urine
- Moves oxygen from the lungs to all the body cells
- Moves carbon dioxide from the body cells to the lungs
- Moves nutrients from the small intestine to the body cells
- Moves waste materials from the body cells to the kidneys and ski
