Provides protection
Regulates body temp
Site for cutaneous receptors
Integumentary sys
Synthesizes vitamin D, prevents water loss
Integumentary sys
Part of the integumentary sys that regulares body temp
Sudoriferous gland or sweat glands
Provides support and pritection, site of hematopoeisis
Skeletal sys
Blood cell production
Hematopoiesis
Yellow bone marrow is storage of
Fats
Red bone marrow is storage of
Blood, hematopoiesis
Stores calcium and phosphorus
Skeletal sys
Allows for body movement
Skeletal sys
Produces movement, generates heat when muscles contract
Muscular sys
A regulatory system that controls body movement
Nervous system
Responds to sensory stimuli, helps control all other systems of the body
Nervous system
Also responsible for conciousness, intelligence and memory
Nervous system
Consists of glands and cell clusters that secretes hormones
Endocrine sys
For body and cellular growth
Endocrine sys
Consist of a pump that moves blood through blood vessels in order to distribute hormones, nutrients
Cardiovascular sys
What serves as the pump in cardiovascular sys
Heart
Transports and filters lymph
Lymphatic sys
Initiates an immune response when necessary
Lymphatic sys
Responsible for exchange of gases between blood and the air in the lungs
Respiratory sys
Cell respiration
Glycolysis
Mechanicslly and chemically digests food material
Digestive sys
Absorbs nutrients, expels waste products
Digestive sys
