Organ Systems Flashcards
*protects the body from the external environment
*produces vitamin D
*retains water
*regulates body temp
Integumentary system
*supports the body
*protects internal organs
*provides leverage for movement
*produces blood cells
*stores calcium salts
Skeletal
*produces movement
*controls body openings
*Generates heat
Muscular system
*regulates body functions
*provides for sensations, movement, automatic functions, and higher mental functions via nerve impulses
Nervous system
*regulates body functions
*regulates the functions of muscles, glands, and other tissues through the secretion of chemicals called hormones
Endocrine system
*pumps and delivers oxygen-poor blood to the lungs and oxygen-rich blood to the tissues
*removes wastes from the tissues
*transport cells, nutrients, and other substances
Cardiovascular system
*returns excess tissue fluid to the cardiovascular system
*provides immunity
Lymphatic system
*delivers oxygen to the blood
*removes carbon dioxide from the body
*maintains the acid-base balance of the blood
