Integumentary System Function (7)
•Forms external body covering
•Protects deeper tissues from injury
•Involved in vitamin D synthesis
•Temperature regulation and waste removal
•Site of pain and pressure receptors
•Prevents dessication (drying out)
•First line of defense against pathogens (germs)
Skeletal System Function (4)
•Protects body organs and supports the body
•Provides a framework for muscles to help create movement
•Hematopoiesis (synthesis of blood cells)
•Mineral storage
Muscular System Function (4)
•Locomotion via muscle attachment
•Manipulation of the environment
•Maintaining posture
•Thermogenesis (generation of heat)
Nervous System Function (4)
Fast-acting control system of the body
Nervous System Function (4)
Mopitors internal and external environment
Nervous System Function (4)
Processes information obtained
Nervous System Function (4)
Responds through muscular or glandular activity
Endocrine System Function (3)
Long-term control system of the body
Endocrine System Function (3)
Releases hormones to regulate growth, reproduction, and nutrient use
Endocrine System Function (3)
Regulates other types of homeostasis
Cardiovascular System Function (3)
The heart pumps blood thru the blood vessels.
Cardiovascular System Function (3)
Vessels transport blood and helps regulate blood pressure (BP)
Cardiovascular System Function (3)
Blood provides transport medium for:
-nutrients (glucose, amino acids, lipids),
-gases (0,, CO,),
-wastes (urea, creatinine),
-signaling molecules (hormones),
-heat
Lymphatic/Immune System Function (4)
Returns “leaked” body fluid back to the bloodstream
Lymphatic/Immune System Function (4)
Attacks and resists foreign invaders (pathogens i.e., disease-causing organisms)
Lymphatic/Immune System Function (4)
Dispose of debris (waste material)
Lymphatic/Immune System Function (4)
Absorption of fat from the digestive tract
Respiratory System Function (3)
Constantly supply the blood with oxygen (02)
Respiratory System Function (3)
Constantly removes carbon dioxide (CO2)
Respiratory System Function (3)
Helps regulates blood pH
Digestive System Functions (3)
Breaks down food
Digestive System Functions (3)
Allows for nutrient absorption into blood stream and lymph system
Digestive System Functions (3)
Eliminates indigestible material as feces
Urinary System Functions (5)
Filters the blood
Urinary System Functions (5)
Removal of nitrogenous wastes
Urinary System Functions (5)
Helps maintain acid-base balance
Urinary System Functions (5)
Regulates water and electrolytes
Urinary System Functions (5)
Helps with erythrocyte (BC) production
Lymphatic/Immune System Structures
Lymphatic vessels, Lymph nodes, Spleen, Thymus, Red bone marrow, Leukocytes (WBCs)
Respiratory System Structure
Nasal cavity, pharynx (throat), trachea, bronchial tubes, and lungs
Digestive System Structures
Oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, teeth, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, gallbladder
Urinary System Structure
Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder,
urethra
Male Reproductive System Structures
Testes, scrotum, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, penis
Female Reproductive System Structures
Ovary, uterine tube, uterus, cervix, vagina, mammary glands
Male Reproductive System Functions
•Testes produce sperm (spermatozoa)
• Duct system carries sperm to exterior
Female Reproductive System Functions
• Ovaries produce ova or eggs
•Uterus provides site of development
Reproductive System Functions
• Reproduction (perpetuation of the species)
• Hormone production and release
