Lecture 1 Flashcards
Outline the 11 body systems
Integumentary, Muscular, Skeletal, Nervous, Endocrine, Lymphatic and Immune, Circulatory, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive
Principle function of Integumentary
Protective
Muscular
movement
Skeletal
Support and protection, Bone marrow produces blood cells or stores fat
Nervous
produces nerve impulse to generate body activities
Lymphatic and immune
Defence, transport of lipids, proteins and lymphoid cells
Endocrine
Release hormones to regulate body activities
Cardiovascular
Transport of O2 and CO2 between air and blood
Digestive
Digestion of food, absorption or nutrients and elimination of solid waste
Urinary
Urine production, storage and elimination, regulation of blood volume and pressure; assist in the production of red blood cells.
Reproductive
Production of sperm or oocytes; hormones released regulate a number of processes
Major organs found in Integumentary
Cutaneous membrane (dermis and hypodermis), Hair follicles (hairs and sebaceous glands), sweat glands, nails, sensory receptors, hypodermis,mammary glands
structures in muscular
Skeletal muscles (axial and appendicular muscles), tendons, aponeuroses
Structures in skeletal system
Bones (axial and appendicular skeleton, supporting cartilages and ligaments), cartilage, joints, red and yellow bone marrow
Nervous tissue structures
CNS (brain and Spinal Cord), Special senses,and PNS
