Identify The Nine Major Organ Systems And Functions Flashcards
What Organs Are In The Cardiovascular System
heart, veins, arteries, and capillaries
What Are The Functions of The Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other important substances to cells and organs in the body. It plays an important role in helping the body meet the demands of activity, exercise, and stress. It also helps maintain body temperature, among other things.
What Organs Are In The Endocrine System
The hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, thymus, adrenal glands, and pancreas. It also includes the testes in males and the ovaries and placenta (during pregnancy) in females.
What Are The Functions Of The Endocrine System
Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body. The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth, and development, the way our organs work, metabolism, and reproduction.
What Organs Are In The Digestive System?
The digestive system includes the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. It also includes the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, which make digestive juices and enzymes that help the body digest food and liquids.
What Are The Functions Of The Digestive System?
The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. They can then be absorbed into the bloodstream so the body can use them for energy, growth, and repair. Unused materials are discarded as feces (poo).
What Organs Are In The Respiratory System?
The main organ of the respiratory system is the lungs. Other respiratory organs include the nose, the trachea, and the breathing muscles (the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles).
What Are The Functions Of The Respiratory System?
The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.
What Oragans Are In The Excretory System?
kidneys, ureter, urethra, urinary bladder, skin, liver, intestine, and lungs.
What Is The Function Of The Excretory System?
The function of the excretory system is to remove wastes from the body. These wastes include water, CO2, nitrogen, salts, and heat. Metabolism: The process of the body converting food into energy. As a result of metabolism, there are waste products.
What Organs Are in The Lymphatic System?
This system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels (a network of thin tubes that carry lymph and white blood cells). Lymphatic vessels branch, like blood vessels, into all the tissues of the body.
What Are The Functions Of The Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections. Lymphatic (lim-FAT-ik) vessels, tissues, organs, and glands work together to drain a watery fluid called lymph from throughout the body.
What Organs Are In The Nervous System?
The nervous system has two main parts: The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.
What Are The Functions Of The Nervous System?
The nervous system transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body, including internal organs. In this way, the nervous system’s activity controls the ability to move, breathe, see, think, and more. The basic unit of the nervous system is a nerve cell or neuron.
What Organs Are In The Muscular System?
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body.
