What are the 6 levels of structural organization in order
Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
What are the 11 systems of the body?
- Circulatory
- Digestive
- Endocrine
- Integumentary
- Lymphatic
- Muscular
- Nervous
- Reproductive
- Respiratory
- Skeletal
- Urinary
Circulatory system
Blood, heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins
Pumps blood to and from the heart to supply oxygen to the body
Digestive
Oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus
Break down food an deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells and get rid of waste
Endocrine
Glands
Collection of glands that secrete hormones into the blood which regulate growth, development, and homeostasis
Integumentary
Hair, skin, nails
Protects the body from pathogens and maintains homeostasis
Lymphatic
Lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus, and spleen
A secondary circulatory system that helps the body fight pathogens and maintain its fluid balance. Returns fluids to blood vessels
Muscular
Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle
Responsible for movements of body parts, stability and posture, heat production, circulation, help in digestion
Nervous
Brain, nerves, spinal cord, and sensory receptor
The body’s electrochemical communication system, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Responds to internal change and activates muscles and glands
Reproductive
Female and male sex organs and reproductive organs
Creating offspring
Respiratory
Lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, diaphragm
Responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide
Skeletal
Bones, joints, and cartilages
Responsible for support, protection, assisting in movement, storage of minerals, production of blood cells, and storage of chemical energy
Urinary
Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra
Removes waste from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte balance
What are the 8 necessary life functions
Maintain boundaries Movement Responsiveness Digestion Metabolism Excretion Reproduction Growth
Maintains boundaries
Defense b/w outside and inside
Movement
Locomotion and movement of substances
Responsiveness
Ability to sense changes and react
Digestion
Break-down and absorption of nutrients
Metabolism
Chemical reactions within the body
Produces energy and makes body structures
Excretion
Eliminates waste from metabolic reactions
Reproduction
Produces future generation
Growth
Increases call size and number of cells
What are the 5 survival needs
Nutrients Oxygen Water Stable body temp Atmospheric pressure
Nutrients
Chemicals for energy and cell building
Includes carbs, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals
