Overview and Back Flashcards
systemic anatomy
examines human body by looking at individual organ systems
integumentary system: what it’s made of and functions
hair, skin, and nails
protection
produces vitamin D
retains water
regulates body temperature
skeletal system: what it’s made of and functions
bones and joints
supports the body
protects internal organs
provides leverage for movement
produces blood cells
stores calcium salts
muscular system: what it’s made of and functions
skeletal muscles
produces movement
controls body openings
generates heat
nervous system: what it’s made of and functions
brain, spinal cord, and nerves
regulates body functions
provides for sensation, movement, automatic functions, and higher mental functions via nerve impulses
endocrine system: what it’s made of and functions
pineal gland, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes, and ovaries
regulates the functions of muscles, glands, and other tissues through secretions of hormones
cardiovascular system: what it’s made of and functions
blood vessels and heart
pumps and delivers oxygen-poor blood to the lungs and oxygen-rich blood to the tissues
removes wastes from the tissues
transports cells, nutrients, and other substances
lymphatic system: what it’s made of and functions
tonsils, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, and lymphatic vessels
returns excess tissue fluid to the cardiovascular system
provides immunity
respiratory system: what it’s made of and functions
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and lungs
delivers oxygen to blood
removes carbon dioxide from the body
maintains the acid-base balance of the blood
digestive system: what it’s made of and functions
mouth to anus
digests food
absorbs nutrients into the blood
removes food waste
regulates fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balances
urinary system: what it’s made of and functions
kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
removes metabolic wastes from the blood
regulates fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balances
stimulates blood cell production
reproductive system of male: what it’s made of and functions
prostate gland, ductus deferens, testis, and penis
produces and transports sperm, secretes hormones, and sexual function
reproductive system of female: what it’s made of and functions
mammary glands, uterine tube, ovary, uterus, and vagina
produces and transports eggs
site of fetal development, nourishment, childbirth, and lactation
secretes hormones
sexual function
