the lowest level of the structural organization of the human body is the
chemical levels
The four basic types of tissues in the body
epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
10 systems of the human body
skeletal, circulatory, nervous, digestive, reproductive, endocrine, integumentary, urinary, respiratory, muscular
Supports and protects many soft tissues of the body
the skeletal system
helps regulate body temperature
the circulatory system
eliminates solid waste from the body
the digestive system
eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood
the respiratory system
regulates fluid and electrolyte balance and volume
the urinary system
reproduces the organism
the reproductive system
regulates body activities with electrical impulses
the nervous system
maintains posture
the muscular system
regulates bodily activities through various hormones
the endocrine system.
receives stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, and pain
the integumentary system
the largest organ is the
the integumentary (or the skin)
the two divisions of the human skeletal system are
osteology, arthrology
how many bones are in the axial skeleton
has 80 bones
Where is the axial skeleton located?
the central axis of the body
what bones are axial skeleton
skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
how many bones are in the appendicular skeleton
has 126 bones
where is the appendicular skeleton located
the limbs
what bones are appendicular skeleton
shoulder and pelvic girdles
what are the four classifications of bones
long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones
what bones are long bones in the skeleton
limbs, compact bone, spongy bone, and periosteum
what bones are irregular bones in the skeleton
limbs, peculiar shapes (vertebra, facial bones, and pelvic bones)
