Ch 1pt 2 Flashcards
The study of the structure of the body
Anatomy
The study of the function of the body
Physiology
Levels of structural organization
Chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, system level, organismal level
The 11 systems of the human body
Integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive
Integumentary system
Hair, skin, fingernails, swear/oil glands, and toenails. Text Marty; helps regulate body temperature; eliminate someway; helps make vitamin D; detect sensation, such as touch, pain, warmth, and cold; stores, fat, and provides insulation
Skeletal system
Bones, joints, and cartilages. Supports and protects body; provide service area for muscle attachment; aids from body movement; houses cells that produce blood cells; stores, minerals, and lipids 
Muscular system
Muscle tissue. Participates in body movement, such as walking; maintains posture; produces heat 
Nervous system
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, eyes and ears. Generates action potential is to regulate body activity; detect changes in body, internal and external environment, interprets changes, and respond by causing muscular contractions, or glandular secretions.
Endocrine system
Penal gland, hypothalamus, pituitary, gland, thymus, thyroid, gland, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes. Regulate body activities by releasing hormones 
Cardiovascular system
Blood, heart, blood vessels. Heart pumps, blood through a blood vessel; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells in carbon dioxide and waste away from cells and help regulate acid, base balance, temperature, and water content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and repair damaged blood vessels.
Lymphatic system
Lymphatic fluid. Lymph vessels; spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and tonsils,(B and T cells). Returns proteins carries with it from gastrointestinal track to blood; contains maturation and proliferation of B cells, and T cells that protect against disease causing microbes.
Respiratory system
Lungs,pharynx, larynx , trachea, bronchial tubes. Inhaled air to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to exhaled here; help regulate acid base, balance to body fluids; air flowing out of lungs through the vocal cords to produce sounds
Digestive system
Mouth, fairness, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, Inez, celery glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas. Achieves, physical and chemical breakdown of food; absorbs nutrients; eliminate solid waste.
Urinary system
Kidneys, uterus, urinary bladder, urethra. Producers, stores, and eliminate urine; eliminate waste and regulate, volume and chemical composition of blood; help maintain the acid base balance of bodily fluids; maintains bodies, mineral balance; helps regulate production of red blood cells 
Reproductive system
Gonads( ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris, memory glands for females). (Epididymis, ducts deferens,; seminal glands, prostate, testes, and penis for males.)
