Body Systems 1 Flashcards
(22 cards)
Function of Integumentary System
-external covering/protection -waterproofs body -secretes salt+urea -regulates body temp -receptors located here -synthesizes vitamin d
epidermis, dermis, sebaceous glands, sudoriferous glands, and hair
Integumentary System
Function of Skeletal System
-protection+support -framework for muscles -stores minerals -blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)
bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints
Skeletal System
Function of Muscular System
-locomotion (internal+external) -maintains posture -produces heat -facial expression
muscles and tendons
Muscular System
Function of Nervous System
-control system of body -receives and interprets stimuli -responds to internal+external changes by activating muscles and glands
brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Nervous System
Function of Endocrine System
-secretes hormones -controls body activities (growth reproduction and metabolism)
pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenals, pancreas, liver, pineal, ovaries, and testes
Endocrine System
Function of Cardiovascular System
-pumps blood -transport substances (O2 CO2 hormones nutrients wastes)
heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries
Cardiovascular System
Function of Lymphatic System
-picks up leaked fluid from blood vessels and returns it to blood -gets rid of debris -house white blood cells
lymph nodes, spleen, peyer’s patches, and tonsils
Lymphatic System
Function of Respiratory System
-supplies blood with oxygen -rids body of carbon dioxide
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and alveoli
Respiratory System
Function of Digestive System
-break food down -absorbs nutrients -removes water -excretes waste
oral cavity, esophagus, small and large intestine, stomach, rectum, and anus
Digestive System
Function of Urinary System
-gets rid of liquid (nitrogenous) waste -regulates water balance -regulates electrolytes -maintains acid-base of blood
bladder, kidney, uterus, and urethra
Urinary System
Function of Reproductive System
-produce offspring
ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, testes, vas deferense, epididymus, and penis
Reproductive System
