What does the Integumentary System do?
Forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues from injury. Synthesizes vitamin D and houses cutaneous receptors (pain, pressure, etc.) and sweat and oil glands.
What does the Skeletal System do?
Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals.
What does the Muscular System do?
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture and produces heat.
What does the Nervous System do?
As the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.
What does the Endocrine System do?
Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
What does the Cardiovascular System do?
Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood.
What does the Lymphatic System/Immunity do?
Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) involved in immunity. The immune response mounts the attack against foreign substances within the body.
What does the Respiratory System do?
Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dixbide. The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.
What does the Digestive System do?
Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distrbution to body cells. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces.
What does the Urinary System do?
Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood.
What does the Male Reproductive System do?
Overall function is production of ofspring. Testes produce sperm and male sex hormone, and male ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to the female reproductive tract.
What does the Female Reproductive System do?
Overall function is production of offspring. Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. The remaining female structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus. Mammary glands of female breasts produce milk to nourish the newborn.

mammary glands (in breasts); ovary; uterus; uterine tube; vagina
kidney glomeruli; air sacs of lungs; lining of heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; serosae
kidney tubles; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface
nonciliated type lines most of the digestive tract (stomach to rectum), gallblader, and excretory ducts of some glands; ciliated variety lines small bronch, uterine tubes, and some regions of the uterus
ciliated variety lines the tracha and most of the upper respiratory tract; nonciliated type in males' sperm-carrying ducts and ducts of large glands"
nonkeratinized type forms the moist linings of the esophagus, mouth, nd vagina; keratinized variety forms the epidermis of the skin, a dry epithelium
largest gducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands
rare in the body; small amounts in male urethra and in large ducts of some glands
lines the ureters, bladder and part of the urethra
primarily in embryo
widely distributed under epithelia of body, e.g., forms lamina propria of mucous membranes; packages organs; surrounds capillaries
under skin in subcutaneous tissue; around kidneys and eyeballs; within abdomen; in breasts
lymphoid organs (lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen)
fibrous capsules of organs and of joints; dermis of the skin; submucose of digestive tract
tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses
walls of large arteries; within certain ligaments associated with the vertebral column; within the walls of the bronchial tubes
forms most of the embryonic skeleton; covers the ends of long bones in joint cavities; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx
supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis
intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint
