Chapter 5 - Organ Systems (only) Flashcards
List the 11 organ systems
- Musculoskeletal
- Cardiovascular
- Respiratory
- Neurological
- Endocrine
- Alimentary
- Urinary
- Integumentary
- Hematopoietic
- Lymphatic
- Reproductive
What are the musculoskeletal functions?
- Protects organs (animal)
- Stores nutrients
- Produces blood cells
- Provides locomotion (cell movement)
Cardiovascular function moves…throughout tissues of the body, such as…
- Nutrients (including oxygen) and immune cells
- Gasses and particles
Cardiovascular function includes thermoregulation which is…
Thermoregulation - all chemical reactions need the correct temp. Like cooling down and warming up.
Capillaries help with this: large ears help with cooling down, small ears help keep warms
Endocrine system functions
Internal chemical communication between cells and between organ systems
Alimentary system functions
-Absorption of nutrients
-Excretion of wastes and toxins
Urinary system functions
-Water and electrolyte balance
-Toxin and waste excretion
-Blood pressure (Kidneys are in charge of this, they tell bone marrow to make blood)
Integumentary system functions
-Protection
-Thermoregulation
-Special features
Hematopoietic system function
-Oxygen carrying cells
-Immune system cells
-Blood clotting components
Lymphatic system functions
-Move white cells throughout the body
-Move lipids throughout the body
Reproductive system functions
-Produce off spring
-Nutrition for offspring (mammals)
-Endocrine system support
*Mammary glands are apart of this system!
Neurologic system functions
-Assess the external (such as hearing) & internal (ex. hunger) environment
-Interaction with the environment (internal cue’s responding to external envir.)
-Integration of complex movement
