Q: What are the components of the integumentary system?

A

A: Skin and structures associated with it, such as hair, nails, and sweat and oil glands.

47
Q

Q: What are the functions of the integumentary system?

A

Protects the body

Eliminates some wastes

Helps make vitamin D

Detects sensations such as touch, pressure, pain, warmth, and cold.

48
Q

Q: What are the components of the skeletal system?

A

A: Bones, joints of the body, and their associated cartilages.

49
Q

Q: What are the functions of the skeletal system?

A

A:
Supports and protects the body

Provides a specific area for muscle attachment

Assists with body movements

Stores cells that produce blood cells

Stores minerals and lipids (fats).

50
Q

Q: What are the components of the muscular system?

A

A: Skeletal muscle tissue (muscle usually attached to bones), and other muscle tissues such as smooth and cardiac.

51
Q

Q: What are the functions of the muscular system?

A

A:
Participates in bringing about body movements, such as walking

Maintains posture

Produces heat.

52
