16
Q

Function of integumentary system

A

Act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world, protect against diseass, retain body fluids, eliminate waste products, regulate body temperature, and vitamin D synthesis.

17
Q

Function of respiratory system

A

Taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxoide.

18
Q

Function of nervous system

A

Control of the body and communication among the body parts.

19
Q

Function of the excretory (urinary) system

A
  • To remove waste from the blood in the form of urine
  • Keep a salt balance in the blood
20
Q

Function of the reproductive system

A
  1. Female
    1. Produce egg cells
    2. Protect and nourish the offspring until birth
  2. Male
    1. Produce and deposit sperm
21
Q

Function of lymphatic system

A
  • Removal of interstitial fluid from tissues
  • Transports fatty acids from the digestive system
  • Transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones
22
Q

Function of the digestive system

A

Converting food into nutrients for the body

23
Q

Function of circulatory system

A
  • Delivery of oxygen, nutrient molecules, and hormones in the body
  • Removal of carbon dioxide, ammonia, and other metabolic wastes
  • *Capillaries are the points of exchange between the blood and surrounding tissues
24
Q

Function of the muscular system

A
  • Movement
  • Maintenance of posture and body position
25
Q

Function of skeletal system

A
  • Support
  • Movement
  • Protection
  • Blood cell formation
  • Calcium storage
  • Endocrine regulation
26
Q

Function of immune system

A
  • Protect the body from organisms and substances that invade the body and cause disease
27
Q

What are the components of a homeostatic mechanism?

Feedback loop

A
  1. Receptor
    1. Is a structure that senses a change in the body
    2. Detects the change
  2. Controller
    1. Integrating center
    2. A mechanism that processes information, relates it to other infomration, and “makes a decision” about the appropriate response
    3. Decides, interprets, commands
  3. Effector
    1. ​Is the cell or organ that carries out the final corrective action
    2. Responds and carries out
28
Q

Purpose of the negative feedback loop

A

To return back to the original state

29
Q

Purpose of the postive feedback loop

A

To move away from the original state

30
Q

Example of negative feedback loop

A
  • Body temperature drops so the muscles start to shiver to increase body temperature
  • Body temperature increases so the skin produces sweat to cool down the body
31
Q

Example of positive feedback loop

A
  • Labor; the baby pushes on the uterus so the uterus contracts which causes the baby to push on the uterus more and more, until the baby cames out
