MODULE 01 Flashcards
The Study of the structure and relationship between body parts.
ANATOMY
The study of the function of body parts and the body as a whole.
PHYSIOLOGY
The functional changes associated with or resulting from disease or injury.

ORGAN
ORGAN SYSTEM
ORGANISM
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Transports oxygen, nutrients, and other substances to the cells and transports wastes, carbon dioxide, and other substances away from the cells; it can also help stabilize body temperature and pH
CARDIOVASCULAR
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Defends against infection and disease and transfers lymph between tissues and the blood stream
LYMPHATIC
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Processes foods and absorbs nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and water
DIGESTIVE
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Provides communication within the body via hormones and directs long-term change in other organ systems to maintain homeostasis.
ENDOCRINE
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Provides protection from injury and fluid loss and provides physical defense against infection by microorganisms; involved in temperature control.
INTEGUMENTARY
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Provides movement, support, and heat production
MUSCULAR
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Collects, transfers, and processes information and directs short-term change in other organ systems.
NERVOUS
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Produces gametes—sex cells—and sex hormones; ultimately produces offspring.
REPRODUCTIVE
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Delivers air to sites where gas exchange can occur.
RESPIRATORY
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Supports and protects soft tissues of the body; provides movement at joints; produces blood cells; and stores minerals.
SKELETAL
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Removes excess water, salts, and products from the blood and body and controls pH.
URINARY
MAJOR ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY:
FUNCTION
- Defends against microbial pathogens—disease-causing agents—and other diseases.
