Chapter 1 Flashcards
What’s is Microscopic anatomy
Structures that sent easily seen with naked eye
Structures can only be views with a microscope
Integumentary system
Skin Forms external body covering Protects deeper tissue Helps regulate body temperature Location of cutaneous nerve receptors Makes vitamin D Receptors for sweat and oil glands
Skeletal system
Protects and supports body organs Provides muscle attachment for movement Site of blood cell formation Stores minerals (cartilages-bones-joints)
Muscular
Procedures movement
Maintains posture
Produces heat
Posture
Nervous system
Fast acting control system
Responds to internal and external changes
Activates muscles and glands
(brain-Sensory receptor-spinal cord-nerves)
Endocrine system
Secretes regulatory hormones
-Growth
-Reproduction
-Metabolism
(Pineal Gland-Pituitary Gland-Thyroid Gland
Thymus Gland-Adrenal Gland-pancreas-Testis(male)-ovary(female)
Cardiovascular
Transport materials in body via blood pumped by heart -oxygen -carbon dioxide -nutrients -waste (Heart and Blood vessels)
Lymphatic system
Returns fluids to blood vessels Cleanses the blood Involved in immunity (Thoracic duct-lymph nodes-lymphatic vessels) Houses white blood vessels.
Respiratory system
Keeps blood supplies with oxygen
Removes carbon dioxide
Helps maintain acid/base balance of blood
(Nasal cavities-pharynx-larynx-trachea-bronchus-left lung)
Digestive system
Breaks down foods Allows for nutrient absorption into blood Eliminates indigestible material as feces Ora cavity Esophagus Stomach Small intestine Rectum Anus
Urinary system
Eliminated nitrogenous waste Maintains acid-base balance Regulates water and electrolytes Kidney Ureter Urinary Urethra
Reproductive system
Produces offspring
Testes produce Sperm and male hormone
Ovaries produce eggs and female hormones
