Q

What are the structures of the Respiratory System

A

Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs

23
Q

What is the function of the Respiratory System

A

Brings in oxygen needed by cells; removes carbon dioxide from body

24
Q

What systems does the Respiratory System interact with

A

Circulatory, nervous systems

25
Q

What are the structures of the Digestive System

A

Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas, large intestine, rectum

26
Q

What is the function of the Digestive System

A

Breaks down food, absorbs nutrients; removes food wastes

27
Q

What systems does the Digestive System interact with

A

Endocrine, muscular, nervous, excretory, circulatory systems

28
Q

What are the structures of the Excretory System

A

Skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, urinary bladder, urethra

29
Q

What is the function of the Excretory System

A

Removes waste products from the body

30
Q

What systems does the Excretory System interact with

A

Digestive, integumentary, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, circulatory systems

31
Q

What are the structures of the Nervous System

A

Brain, spinal cord, nerves

32
Q

What is the function of the Nervous System

A

Controls body’s responses to changes in inside and outside environments

33
Q

What systems does the Nervous System interact with

A

All systems

34
Q

What are the structures of the Endocrine Systems

A

Glands, such as the thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries, testes, and others

35
Q

What is the the function of the Endocrine Systems

A

Controls growth, development, and energy processes; helps maintain homeostasis, or balance, of body’s internal environment

36
Q

What systems does the Endocrine System interact with

A

Circulatory, nervous, reproductive, digestive, excretory, integumentary systems

37
Q

What are the structures of the Reproductive System

A

Testes, ducts, urethra, penis. In females: ovaries, ducts, uterus, vagina

38
Q

What is the function of the Reproductive System

A

In males, produces and delivers sex cells; in females, nurtures and protects developing embryo

39
Q

What systems does the Reproductive System interact with

A

Circulatory, respiratory, nervous, muscular, endocrine systems

40
Q

What happens if carbon dioxide builds up in the blood stream

A

Carbon dioxide is a waste product in the human body. Cells need oxygen for respiration and to function properly. If carbon dioxide builds up in the body, it can make you very sick. If the body is not able to remove the excess carbon dioxide (and get enough oxygen), organs may start to shut down

41
Q

When you are sick, your immune system helps protect against disease and germs. What organs (and systems) are part of your body’s immune response

A

Your skin (integumentary system) is the first thing that protects you from outside germs. Saliva in the mouth, mucus in the nose, tears in your eyes, and acid in your stomach also help kill germs and act as barriers against germs. Your blood (circulatory system and lymphatic system) carries white blood cells where they are needed to fight disease

42
Q

Circulatory System Definition

A

Group of organs and tissues that work in a coordinated manner to transport materials throughout the human body

43
Q

Digestive System Definition

A

Group of organs and tissues that work in a coordinated manner to break down food into nutrients that can be used by body cells

44
Q

Endocrine System Definition

A

The set of ductless organs that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate life processes.

45
Q

Immune System Definition

A

Group of organs and tissues that work in a coordinated manner to protect the body from infection

46
Q

Integumentary System Definition

A

The body system consisting of the skin, hair, and nails that protects the internal organs from the surrounding environment

47
Q

Lymphatic System Definition

A

System that works with the immune system to protect the body from infection and remove dead pathogens and other cellular waste

48
Q

Muscular System Definition

A

Group of tissues that work in a coordinated manner with other systems to allow various kinds of motion

49
Q

Nervous System Definition

A

The body system that receives information from internal and external surroundings and coordinates a response

50
Q

Reproductive System Definition

A

Group of organs and tissues that work in a coordinated manner to allow humans to produce offspring

51
Q

Respiratory System Definition

A

Group of organs and tissues that work in a coordinated manner to take in oxygen and discard carbon dioxide

52
Q

Skeletal System Definition

A

Group of tissues that work in a coordinated manner to provide physical support for the body

53
Q

Urinary System Definition

A

Group of organs and tissues that work in a coordinated manner to rid the body of chemical waste and to regulate water levels in the body
