Nervous System
Controls body functions, homeostasis, responds to stimuli
Nervous System
Brain
Controls body functions/integrates information
Nervous System
Spinal Cord
Communciation area, reflexes
Cardiovascular System
Transports water and CO2 away from cells and nutrients and O2, among other substances, towards cells, contains blood (connective tissue), WBCs
Cardiovascular System
Heart
Pumps blood to lungs and the entire body
Cardiovascular System
Inferior Vena Cava
Returns deoxygenated blood to the heart from the lower part of the body
Cardiovascular System
Descending Aorta
Carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the lower part of the body
Respiratory System
Brings O2 in and CO2 out of the body
Respiratory System
Trachea
Conduit for O2 and CO2
Respiratory System
Left Lung
Area of gas exchange
Respiratory System
Right Lung
Area of gas exchange
Respiratory System
Left Primary Bronchus
Conduit for O2 and CO2
Respiratory System
Right Primary Bronchus
Conduit for O2 and CO2
Respiratory System
Diaphragm
Causes thoracic cavity pressure to decrease allowing lungs to inspire air, relaxation causes exhalation
Digestive System
Ingestion, digestion, absorption of foodstuffs, elimination of solid wastes
Digestive System
Esophagus
Conduit for food
Digestive System
Stomach
Digest protein and stores and mixes food
Digestive System
Pancreas
Makes alkaline, pancreatic juices, and digestive enzymes
Digestive System
Liver
Processes nutrients, stores glucose as glycogen, produces bile and detoxifies
Digestive System
Gall Bladder
Stores bile
Digestive System
Small Intestine
Produces digestive enzymes and has infoldings of inner surface for absorption of digested food, distal end has lymphoid tissue to destroy accumulated bacteria
Digestive System
Large Intestine
Reabsorbs water and electrolytes, bacterial flora makes vitamins
Digestive System
Cecum
Proximal portion of the large intestine
Digestive System
Vermiform Appendix
Vestigal appendage, prone to infection resulting in appendicitis
Digestive System
Mesentery
Covering organs, part of it is seen here- Serous membrane netting that allows blood vessels and nerves to supply abdominal cavity organs, suspends organs
Digestive System
Rectum
Conduit for solid wastes
Digestive System
Anus
Opening of the alimentary tube for discharfe of solid waste
Endocrine System
Production of hormones, homeostasis
Endocrine System
Right Adrenal Gland
Produces hormones
Endocrine System
Left Adrenal Gland
Produces hormones
Endocrine System
Thyroid
Produces hormones
