Q

How does the circulatory/cardiovascular system interact with the skeletal system

A

The cardiovascular system supplies oxygen and nutrients while removing wastes, such as lactic acid.
The skeletal systems form blood cells in the bone marrow.

Q

Describe the parts and function of the Digestive system

A
  • All body parts from the mouth to the anus involved in ingestion and digestion including:
    esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum and anus.
  • system manufactures enzymes that break down food
  • absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestines
  • large intestine (colon) removes water from waste
  • liver produces bile that help break down fats
  • pancreas delivers enzymes to the small intestine to aid digestion

Q

Describe the parts and function of the endocrine system

A
  • The endocrine system is comprised of glands which secrete hormones to control body functions
  • Pineal, pituitary, thalamus, hypothalamus, thyroid, thymus, and adrenal glands regulate processes i.g. growth and metabolism
  • Pancreas, testis, and ovaries also have endocrine functions.

Q

What is the function of the integumentary system?

A

This system protects internal tissues from injury, waterproofs the body, and helps regulate body temperature. It also serves as a barrier against foreign substances.

Q

How does the respiratory and digestive system interact with the integumentary system?

A

They provide oxygen and nutrients to the skin and help it remain healthy

18
Q

How does the cardiovascular system interact with the integumentary system?

A

Oxygen and nutrients flow through the blood vessels and feed the skin

19
Q

How does the lymphatic system interact with the integumentary system?

A

The lymphatic system picks up excess fluid from the skin to avoid swelling.

20
Q

How does the endocrine system interact with the integumentary system?

A

Hormone regulate the growth of hair and hydration.

21
Q

How do the integumentary and the reproductive systems interact?

A

Skin provides protection to the internal organs of the reproductive system

22
Q

How does the muscular system interact with the integumentary system?

A

Muscles produce heat that is expelled through the skin as sweat.

23
Q

How does the urinary system interact with the integumentary system?

A

The urinary system activates vitamin D collected by the skin through exposure with the sun.

24
Q

How do the nervous and integumentary system relate?

A

The nervous system regulates the production of sweat , interprets stimuli received from the integumentary, and adjusts the diameter of blood vessels of the skin.

25
Q

What is the function of the lymphatic system?

A

This system helps cleanse the blood and houses the white blood cells that are involved in protecting the body from environmental pathogens. It also reads orbs fluid that has leaked from the cardio system back into the blood vessels

26
Q

What are the organs of the lymphatic system?

A 
Lymph nodes
Lymph vessels (carries lymph fluid rich in antibodies)
Spleen
Thymus
Tonsils
27
Q

How do the urinary and lymphatic systems relate?

A

The urinary system helps maintain proper water/acid-base/electrolyte balance of the blood.

28
Q

How do the nervous system and the lymphatic systems relate?

A

The brain helps control the immune response

29
Q

How do the reproductive and integumentary systems relate to the lymphatic?

A

Acidic secretions in integumentary and reproductive systems prevent bacterial growth

30
Q

What is the function of the muscular system?

A

This system provides movement through contractions.

31
Q

What are the components of the muscular system?

A

Muscles, tendons, ligaments

32
Q

How does the endocrine and muscular systems relate?

A

The endocrine system releases hormones at affect muscular strength

33
Q

How do the nervous and muscular systems relate?

A

The nervous system regulates and coordinates muscular activity

34
Q

How do the reproductive and muscular systems relate?

A

The reproduction system encourages larger muscle size in men

35
Q

How do the skeletal and muscular systems relate

A

The bones act as levers for motion.

36
Q

What is the function of the nervous system?

A

This system acts as the body’s control system and is necessary to protect the body from changes in the internal and external environment.

37
Q

How do the endocrine and nervous systems relate?

A

The endocrine system releases hormones that regulate the activity of neurons

38
Q

How do the urinary and nervous systems relate?

A

The urinary system helps dispose of metabolic wastes and maintains the correct electrolyte balance for proper nerve function.

39
Q

What is the function of the reproductive system?

A

This system produces offspring.
Also hormone production and storage encourages or suppresses activities in the body I.e. Libido, and promotes gender characteristics.

40
Q

What are the structures of the reproductive system?

A

Testes, penis, ovaries, vagina and breasts,

41
Q

How do the lymphatic and reproductive systems relate?

A

The lymphatic transports
