Reproductive: structures and functions (FEMALE)
Mammary glands, vagina, ovary, uterus, uterine tube Function: Produce oocytes, fertilization, fetal develop.

Which organ system is responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in blood?
Respiratory
Which organ system contains the pharynx, larynx, and bronchus, but not the esophagus?
Respiratory
Which organ system is responsible for the absorption of nutrients and elimination of wastes, and the mechanical/chemical digestion of food?
Digestive
Which organ system contains the oral cavity, esophagus, and liver?
Digestive
Which organ system is responsible for secreting hormones to control growth, metabolism, and reproduction?
Endocrine
The pineal, pituitary, thyroid, thymus, and adrenal gland are a part of which organ system?
Endocrine

True
Which organ system is responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, and wastes through the body?
Cardiovascular
Which organ system is responsible for removing waste products from the blood?
Urinary
Which organ system is responsible for regulating water, electrolyte, and acid balance of the blood?
Urinary
The kidney, ureter, bladder, and urethra are a part of which organ system?
Urinary
An oocyte is ____ and is a part of the _____ organ system
an egg reproductive
The ductus deferens is a part of the ____ organ system
Male reproductive
Define homeostasis
The existence and maintenance of a relatively constant environment
Despite continuous outside changes, _____ maintains a relatively stable internal environment
Homeostasis
Which two organ systems are responsible for accomplishing communication via nerve impulse and hormones (during homeostatic control)
Nervous and Endocrine
What are the three main components of a control mechanism (Homeostasis)
Receptor, Control center, and effector
In homeostatic control, what does a receptor do?
Monitors the environment and responds to stimuli
In homeostatic control, what does the control center do?
receives input from receptor, determines appropriate response
In homeostatic control, what does the effector do?
receives output from control center, provides the means to respond,
Which component of a control mechanism (homeostasis) is responsible for allowing the response to reduce or enhance the stimulus? (feedback)
Effector
Negative feedback
the response REDUCES or SHUTS OFF the original stimulus
Examples of neg. feedback?
Regulation of body temperature Regulation of blood volume
Positive feedback
The response ENHANCES or EXAGGERATES the original stimulus -may exhibit a cascade or amplifying effect
Examples of positive feedback
-Enhancement of labor contractions by oxytocin -platelet plug info and blood clotting
The disturbance of homeostasis is called:
Homeostatic imbalance
The disturbance of homeostasis causes:
-an increase risk of disease -contributes to changes associated with aging -allows destructive pos. feedback (e.g heart failure)
List three types of descriptive anatomy
-Regional -Directional -Planes and sections
