with age, yellow bone marrow is
gained
27
organ structures of nervous system
CNS brain spinal cord special senses PNS
28
function of CNS
control centre short term control over other systems
29
function of brain
complex integrative activities control voluntary and involuntary movement
30
function of spinal cord
relay information to and from brain perform less complex integrative activities (reflex arc)
31
effect of the spinal cord is
local integrative effect
32
function of special senses
sensory input to brain relating to sight, hearing, smell and taste and equilibrium
33
function of PNS
links CNS with other systems and sense organs
34
organ structures of endocrine system
pineal gland pituitary/ hypothalamus thryoid gland parathyroid gland thymus adrenal glands kidneys pancreas gonads
35
function of hypothalamus/ pituitary glands
control other endocrine glands regulate growth fluid balance
36
function of thyroid gland
metabolic rate (thyroxine)
37
function of parathyroid gland
control calcium levels
38
function of thymus
maturation of lymphocytes
39
function of adrenal glands
water and mineral balance (aldosterone) tissue metabolism (cortisol) cardio and resp. function (adrenaline)
40
function of kidneys (endocrine)
RBC production BP up calcium levels
41
function of pancreas (endorcine)
glucose control
42
function of gonads
sexual characteristics and reproduction
43
gigantism is a result of
too much GH during childhood
44
function of insulin-like growth factor
causes tissues to grow and divide
45
acromegaly is a result of
too much GH as an adult
46
growth hormone acts on the
liver
47
organ structures of the lymphatic system
lymphatic vessels lymphatic fluid b cells and t cells lymph nodes spleen thymus
48
function of lymphatic vessels
contractile vessels that carry lymph and lymphocytes from peripheral tissue to veins of CV system
49
function of lymphatic fluid
lipids from gut fluid from tissues
50
function of b cells and t cells
immune response
51
function of lymph nodes
monitor lymph composition engulf pathogens immune response
52
function of spleen
monitor circulation of blood cells engulf pathogens recycles RBC immune response
53
function of thymus (lymphatic)
development and maintenance of the t cell lymphocytes
54
which systems are the thymus a part of
endocrine and lymphatic
55
where are lymphatic capillaries found
throughout body except avascular tissues, CNS, portions of spleen and bone marrow
56
organ structures of CV system
heart blood blood vessels
57
function of heart
propels blood maintain BP
58
function of blood vessels
conduits: arteries- heart to capillaries capillaries- diffusion between blood and interstitial fluids vein: return blood from capillaries to heart
59
function of blood
transport of O2, CO2, nutrients and hormones removes waste temperature regulation immune response acid base control (-HCO3) controls environment in cells
60

oral cavity salivary glands pharynx oesophagus stomach small intestine liver gallbladder pancreas large intestine and anus
68
function of salivary glands
buffers and lubricates enzymes begin digestion
69
function of pharynx
sort solid food and liquids to oesophagus
70
function of stomach

kidney ureters bladder urethra
77
functions of kidney (urinary)
form and concentrates urine regulates pH and ions blood volume and BP endocrine function- promotes RBC production
78
function of ureters (urinary)
conduct urine to bladderun
79

urine to exterior
80
what is erythropoietin
glycoprotein hormone produced by interstitial fibroblasts in kidney
81
function of EPO
signals for erythropoiesis in bone marrow
82
increased activity of hemocytoblasts results in
more RBC production so greater carrying capacity for oxygen
83
