Lecture 1: 11 Systems of the Body Flashcards
Cardiovascular System components
heart, blood vessels, blood
Integumentary system organ components
cutaneous membrane, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, nails, sensory receptors, hypodermis
Purpose of integumentary system
protects body, regulates body temp, eliminates waste, makes vit D, stores fat, detects sensation, insulation
Skeletal system is made from which components
Axial, Appendicular, bones, cartilage, joints
What is axial skeleton
Core structures that support body weight and protect sensory organs
What is appendicular skeleton
limbs enables movement of the axial skeleton, supports internal organs
Bone contains
red marrow that produce red blood cells and yellow marrow that stores fat
Two functions of the skeletal system
provide SA for muscle attachment, support and protect
Muscular system 4 components
axial, appendicular, skeletal, tendon, aponeuroses
Skeletal muscle function
skeletal movement, controls entry and exits to digestive,urinary & respiratory system, generates heat, supports the skeleton
Axial muscle
6 pack provide support of the axial skeleton
Appendicular muscle
support, move and brace limbs
Tendons
muscle to bone, translating contractile force to tasks
Aponeuroses
muscle to muscle connection
Nervous system components
brain, cns, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs, pns
Brain in the nervous system controls
voluntary and involuntary responses, complex integrative activities
CNS
short term control center over other systems
Spinal cord
relays info to and from brain, simpler integrative activities: reflex arc
Optic nerve is only part of … not PNS
CNS
PNS that includes the sensory organs
links the CNS with other systems and organs
Nervous system purpose
detect change in env, interpret and respond
pineal gland, where what for
brain,circadian rhythms
