What are the 11 body systems? MURDERS LINC

- Digestive - Endocrine - Reproductive - Muscular - Urinary - Respiratory - Skeletal - Lymphatic - Integumentary - Nervous - Cardiovascular

What is the function and parts of the Muscular System?

Parts : Skeletal muscles | Function: Allows manipulation of the environment. Maintains posture and produces heat.

What is the function and parts of the Urinary System?

``` Parts: - Kidney - Ureter - Urinary bladder - Urethra Functions: Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte, and acid- base balance of the blood. ```

What is the function and parts of the Respiratory System?

``` Parts: - Nasal cavity - Pharynx - Larynx - Trachea - Bronchus Function: Supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide ```

What is the function and parts of the Digestive System?

``` Parts: - Oral cavity - Esophagus - Liver - Stomach - Small Intestine - Rectum - Anus - Large intestine (colon) Function: Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood or distribution to body cells. Ingestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces. ```

What is the function and parts of the Endocrine System?

``` Parts: - Pineal gland - Pituitary gland - Thyroid gland - Thymus - Adrenal gland - Pancreas - Ovary (woman) - Testis (men) Function: Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrients use (metabolism) by body cells. ```

What is the function and parts of the Reproductive System?

``` Parts: Male - Prostate - Ductus deferens - Scrotum - Testis - Penis Female - Mammary glands (in breasts) - Ovary - Uterine tube - Uterus - Vagina Function: Production of offspring. Testes produce sperm and male sex hormone. Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. ```

What is the function and parts of the Skeletal System?

Parts: - Bones - Joints Function: Protects and supports body organs, and provides a framework the muscles to use to cause movement. Bones store minerals like Calcium (Ca)

What is the function and parts of the Lymphatic System?

``` Parts: - Red bone marrow - Thymus - Lympathic vessels - Thoracic duct - Spleen - Lymph nodes Function: Houses white blood cells ```

What is the function and parts of the Integumentary System?

``` Parts: - Hair - Skin - Nails Function:External body covering, and protects tissues from injury ```

What is the function and parts of the Nervous System?

``` Parts: - Brain - Spinal Cord - Nerves Function: Fast- acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropiate muscles and glands. ```

What is the function and parts of the Cardiovascular System?

Parts: - Heart - Blood Vessels Function: IS NOT BLOOD. Transport blood. The heart pumps blood.
