atoms molecules organelles cells tissue organ organ system organism
integumentary system
involves hair skin and nails - protects deeper tissues from injury, houses cutaneous receptors, sweat and oil glands. synthesis’s vitamin D
skeletal system
bones and joints
supports and protects
provides a frame for muscles to use for movement.
store minerals and create blood cells
muscular system
skeletal muscles
maintains posture and produces movement
(locomotion) produces heat
lymphatic system
red bone marrow, thymus, lymph, thoracic duct, spleen, lymph nodes
houses white blood cells (LYMPHOCYTES)
involved in immunity
returns leaked fluids from blood vessels to the blood and disposes debris within the system
respiratory system
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, bronchus, trachea, lungs
removes CO2 and continually supplies blood with oxygen.
Gaseous exchanges occur in the lungs
digestive system

nervous system
brain, spinal cord, nerves
control system of the body
responds to internal and external changes

the heart pumps blood
blood vessels transport it
blood carries oxygen, CO2, nutrients and waste throughout the body
urinary system
kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra
eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body.
regulates acid- base, electrolyte and water balance of blood
male reproductive system
prostate gland, penis, testis, scrotum, ductus deferens
main function to create off spring
sex hormones and sperm are created in the testis
which are delivered by the ductus deferens and glands
female reproductive system
mammary glands, ovary, uterus, vagina, uterine tube
ovaries produce female sex hormone and eggs
other structures serve as a fertilization site and development
an example of this is mammary glands which produce milk for the new born
anatomical position
when the body is erect, the palms of the hand face forward the thumbs point away from the body and the feet are slightly
what is the key concepts we have covered
tissue - the structure of tissue relates to its function
relating structure to function

also called cranial - toward the head or upper part of the body; above
inferior
away from the head towards the lower part of the body
what two terms are alike in meaning; toward the front of the body
ventral & anterior
anterior
towards or at the front of the body
what two terms are alike in meaning; toward the back of the body
posterior & dorsal
posterior
towards or at the back of the body
