How many organ systems?
11
4 categories of the organ systems?
- Support, Movement, & Protection
- Integration & Coordination
- Maintenance of The Body
- Reproduction & Development
What systems are for support, movement, & protection?
- Integumentary system
- Skeletal system
- Muscular system
Integumentary system organs:
- Skin
- Accessory organs
Integumentary system function:
- protects tissue
- regulate body temperature
- contains sense organs
Skeletal system organs:
- Bones
- Cartilage
- Ligaments
Skeletal system function:
- Protect body’s organs
- Produce blood cells
- Store calcium & phosphorus salts
Muscular system organs:
- Skeletal muscles (moves voluntarily)
- Cardiac muscles
- Smooth muscles (moves involuntarily)
Muscular system function:
- Move voluntarily
- Respond to stimuli
- Produce body heat
Systems for integration & coordination:
- Nervous system
- Endocrine system
Nervous system organs:
- Brain
- Spinal cord
- Nerves
Endocrine system organs:
- Hypothalamus
- Pituitary
- Thyroid
- Parathyroid
- Adrenals
- Pancreas
- Ovaries
- Testes
Nervous system function:
- conducts nerve impulses from the sense organs to the brain and then to the muscles and to the gland.
Endocrine system function:
- Secretes chemicals
that are messengers between
body part - Maintain proper
functioning of reproductive
system
What systems are for maintenance of the body:
- Circulatory system
- Immune system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system
- Urinary system
Circulatory system organs:
- Heart
- Blood vessel
- Blood
Circulatory system function:
- Transports nutrients and oxygen to cells through blood
- Removes
wastes
Immune system organs:
- Lymph nodes
- Thymus
- Spleen
Immune system function:
- Protects body from disease
- Transportation of blood cells and nutrients
Respiratory system organs:
- Nose
- Pharynx
- Larynx
- Trachea
- Lungs
Respiratory system function:
- Bring oxygen into lungs
- Take carbon dioxide out of the
lungs
Digestive system organs:
- Mouth
- Pharynx
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small & Large Intestine
Digestive system function:
- receive food and digest into nutrient
molecules
Urinary system organs:
- Kidneys
- Urinary bladder
Urinary system function:
- Gets rid of
nitrogenous wastes - Helps regulate fluid level and
chemical content of the blood
Organ systems for reproduction & development:
- Reproductive system
Reproductive system organs (male):
- Testes
- Epididymis
- Vas deferens
- Urethra
- Penis
Reproductive system organs (female):
- Ovaries
- Fallopian tubes
- Vagina
- Uterus
Reproductive system function:
- Produce sex cells
- Nourish and protect fetus
