Which system is made up of all outside parts of the body? (Skin, Nails, Hair, etc.)
The integumentary system
Which system acts as the body’s central framework, working as it’s essential building blocks.
The skeletal system
Which system’s main functions provide support for bodily muscle and tissue, gives the body shape, helps to allow movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs, and store various bodily minerals?
Skeletal system functions
Which system is made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, other connective tissue, and anything else bone-related?
The skeletal system
Which bodily system is a direct counterpart to the skeletal system, attaching to bones to help with movement?
The muscular system
Which system’s functions act as the body’s primary means of movement, move substances around the body; maintains posture; produces heat, and circulates blood?
Muscular system functions
Which system is made up of muscle fiber cells, muscles (attached to bones or internal organs), tendons, ligaments, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle?
The muscular system
Which bodily system is similar to that of the immune system, with similarities including, but are not limited to; helping to rid bacteria, transport lymph, and so on?
The lymphatic system
Which body’s main functions act as our body’s “sewage system”, maintains fluid levels by removing fluids that leak out of blood vessels, rids our body of unhealthy and wasteful fluids, drains tissue, acts as immune response, and transports fat?
Lymphatic system functions
Which system is made up of a network of very small vessels, a spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils, and various lymph tissue located throughout the body (heart, lungs, intestines, liver, skin, bone marrow, etc.)
The lymphatic system
Which bodily system is composed of various organs, helping and primarily allowing the body to breathe?
The respiratory system
Which bodily system’s main functions consist of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and other wasteful/toxic gases. While also helps the body carry oxygen throughout the bloodstream, protects airways from harmful substances, acid-base balance, and helping with regulation of blood pressure?
Respiratory system functions
Which bodily system is made up of bodily airways, nasal cavity, blood vessels, pharynx (throat), larynx, trachea (windpipe), bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs?
The respiratory system
Which bodily system is made up of organs designed to process (digest) and spread nutrients of food and liquid throughout the body?
The digestive system
Which system’s functions consist of taking in, transporting, and breaking down foodstuffs and/or drink to resupply as bodily nutrients, and eliminates unabsorbed matter (feces)?
Digestive system functions
Which system is made up of the oral cavity (mouth), esophagus, pharynx (throat), liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus?
The digestive system
Which system is the body’s primary command center, under the rule of your brain? Allowing the body to do as the brain pleases. All other bodily systems are controlled by this system.
The nervous system
Which system’s functions consist of controlling and coordinating functions throughout the body by allowing all parts of the body to communicate with each other, responds to internal and external stimuli either manually or automatically, controls memory, and so on.
Nervous system functions
Which system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory organs, cerebellum, diencephalon, and the cerebral hemisphere.
The nervous system
Which system is much like the nervous system, helping control and bodily regulation in a less direct approach? Primarily through it’s releases of various hormones into the bloodstream; telling the body what to do.
The endocrine system
Which system’s functions play a big role in basic bodily functions, works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis, allows the body to develop, controls all glands to release different hormones to specific locations, and regulates the release of hormones?
Endocrine system functions
Which system is made up of glands, hormones, target cells, adrenals, pituitary, and the hypothalamus?
The endocrine system
Which system is also known as the circulatory system, which allows bodily blood flow and circulation?
The cardiovascular system
Which system’s functions allow heart pumping, distributes blood cells, water, dissolved materials, including nutrients, waste products, oxygen and carbon dioxide distributes heat and assists in control of body temperature? It is the primary system responsible for transporting essential nutrients through blood flow.
Cardiovascular system functions
Which system is made up of the heart, veins, blood vessels, arteries, capillaries, and most everything blood related?
The cardiovascular system
Which system acts as the body’s sewage dump, filtering blood and waste from the digestive and cardiovascular system and discarding it through urinary organs (Urinating)?
The urinary system
Which system’s functions act as the body’s drainage system, removes urine, maintains a balance of electrolytes, helps to control red blood cell production/balance, rids the body of waste and excess fluid by utilizing the urinary tract?
Urinary system functions
Which system is made up of the urinary tract; Two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, sphincter, and a urethra?
The urinary system
Which system acts as the primary way to produce human offspring through sexual means?
The reproductive system
Which system’s functions vary in regards to assigned gender. In males, production of sperm cells to fertilize egg cells, utilizes testes to help produce hormones known as testosterone.
In females, fertilization and growth of egg cells, to nurture and develop fetuses, and to facilitate childbirth. In general, helps in production of hormones.
Reproductive system functions
Which system varies in parts in regards to assigned birth gender? In males, the penis, scrotum, testes (testicles), vas deferens/ductus deferens (sperm duct), prostate, accessory glands, and urethra.
In females, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, accessory glands, cervix, and external genital organs.
The reproductive system
Which system is the body’s primary line of defense from foreign and internal threats?
The immune system
Which system’s functions consist of protecting the body from diseases and other foreign objects, draining fluid from organs, recognizing known threats and remembering ways to terminate them, scanning the body to find threatening cells, and generally developing and exercising ways to defend the body?
Immune system functions
Which system is made up of the brain, mucous membranes, tonsils, lymphatic vessels, thymus, lymph nodes, skin, spleen, bone marrow, lymphatic vessels, white blood cells, antibodies, complement system, cell membrane, and other internal protecting parts of the body?
The immune system
What word describes a state of harmonization between all bodily systems, keeping the body at a relative pique, allowing it to function correctly?
Homeostasis
