43
Metabolism
Events that obtain/release/use energy
ex: digestive system
44
Homeostasis
Any self-regulating process that maintains optimal conditions for survival.
Most homeostatic mechanisms operate in a NEGATIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
Short-lived or Specific functions like childbirth, are exceptions, making them POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOPS
44
Integumentary System
(skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, etc)
Protects underlying systems like our internal organs and helps regulate body temperature, senses changes, and synthesizes certain products.
45
3 Components of Homeostasis
Receptors
Set Point
Effectors
46
Skeletal System
(bones, ligaments, cartilage, tissues in bones)
Supports/protects/provides framework, stores inorganic salts, and houses blood-forming tissue
47
Muscular System
(Muscles, and some internal organs)
Provides body movement, posture, and body heat.
48
Nervous System
(Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs)
Integrates incoming information from receptors and sends impulses to muscles and glands
49
Endocrine System
(All glands that secrete hormones)
Helps integrate metabolic functions
50
Cardiovascular System
(Heart, veins, arteries, blood, capillaries)
distributes oxygen, nutrients, and hormones through the body and removes waste from cells.
51
Lymphatic System
(Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen)
Drains excess fluid and includes cells of immunity such as T-cells and Lymphocytes.
52
Digestive System
(mouth, tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestines)
Receives, breaks down, and absorbs nutrients
53
Respiratory System
(Nasal Cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs)
Exchanges O2 & CO2 between blood and air
54
Urinary System
(Kidneys, uterus, urinary bladder, urethra)
Removes waste from blood and helps maintain water & electrolyte balance
55
Reproductive System (Male)
(Scrotum, testes, epididymides, ductus, deferentia, seminal, vesticals, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis, urethra)
Produces new organisms
56
Reproductive System (Female)
(Ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitorus, vulva)
Produces new organisms
57
Axial
Head, Neck, Trunk
58
Appendicular
Upper & Lower Limbs
59

61
Thoracic Cavity
Heart, Lungs, Esophagus, Trachea, Thymus
62
Abdominopelvic Cavity
Stomach, Spleen, Liver, Gallbladder, Kidneys, Intestines
63

Relative position describing the location of a body part in respect to another
64

Below another part
66
