Q

Integumentary system

A

external covering of the body - waterproofs and protects; secretes salts and urea (sweat); helps regulate body temperature

46
Q

Skeletal System

A

bones, cartilages, ligaments, joints - supports body; creates framework for skeletal muscle; protects organs; houses blood formation (hematopoiesis)

47
Q

Muscular System

A

allows manipulation of environment, locomotion, facial expression; maintains posture; produces heat

48
Q

Nervous System

A

fast-acting control system of the body; responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands

49
Q

Endocrine System

A

glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use by body cells

50
Q

Cardiovascular System

A

blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.; heart pumps blood

51
Q

Lymphatic System

A

picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood; disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream; houses white blood cells involved in immunity

52
Q

Respiratory System

A

keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide; gaseous exchanges occur through walls of the air sacs

53
Q

Digestive System

A

breaks food down into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells; indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces

54
Q

Urinary System

A

eliminates nitrogen-containing wastes from the body; regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood

55
Q

Reproductive System

A

for production of offspring - In the male, testes produce sperm and male sex hormone; ducts and glands aid in delivery of viable sperm to the female reproductive tract.
In the female, ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones; remaining structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of fetus; mammary glands of female breast produce milk to nourish newborn.
