Q

What is the Lymphatic/Immunity System?

A

Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes). Mounts the attack against foreign substances within the body.

Q

What is the Respiratory System?

A

Keeps blood supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.

17
Q

What is the Digestive System?

A

Breaks down food into absorbable units. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces.

18
Q

What is the Urinary System?

A

Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood.

19
Q

What is the Reproductive System?

A

Overall function is production of offspring.

20
Q

What are the 12 Organ Systems?

A

Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, and Reproductive.

21
Q

What are the two types of membranes?

A

Parietal - lines cavities and anchors organs in place.
Visceral - Covers organs like plastic wrap.
