Q

The body’s fast-acting control system. It consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors.

A

Nervous system

25
It detects the changes in temperature, pressure, or light, and send messenges via electric signals called nerve impulses to the central nervous system.
Sensory receptors
26
This system control the body's activities, but it also acts much slower.
Endocrine system
27
This gland produces chemical molecules called hormones and release them into the blood to travel to relatively distant target organs
Endocrine gland
28
The primary organs of this system are the heart and blood vessels.
Cardiovascular system
29
This substance along with other substances in the blood help to protect the body from such foreign invaders as bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells
White blood cell
30
The role of this system complements the cardiovascular system. It organs are the lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and other lymphatic organs such as spleen aflnd tonsils.
Lymphatic system
31
This part of the lymphatic system help to cleanse the blood and house white blood cells involved in immunity.
Lymph nodes
32
The job of this system is to keep the body supplied with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.
Respiratory system
33
This system is basically a tube running through the body from mouth to anus. Their role is to break down food and deliver the resulting nutrients to the blood for dispersal to body cells.
Digestive system
34
This organ is considered a digestive organ because if the bile.
Liver
35
This fluid helps to break down fats.
Bile
36
This organs of the digestive system delivers the digestive enzymes to the small intestine.
Pancreas
37
This system removes the nitrogen-containing wastes from the blood and flushes them from the body in urine. This system is often called the excretory system.
Urinary system
38
The important function of this system is to maintain the body's water and salt (electrolyte) balance, regulating the acid-base balance of the blood, and helping to regulate normal blood pressure.
Urinary system
39
The role of this system is to produce offspring.
Reproductive system
40
It is says the every living organisms must be able to maintain its boundaries so that it's "inside" remains distinct from its "outside"
Maintaining Boundaries
41
It includes all the activities promoted the muscular system
Movement
42
It is also called irritability, it is the ability to sense changes (stimuli) in the environment and then to react to them.
Responsiveness
43
The process of breaking down ingested food into simple molecules that can then be absorbed into the blood.
Digestion
44
It is a broad term that refers to all chemical reactions that occur within the body and all of its cells.
Metabolism
45
An energy-rich molecules that power cellular activities.
Adenosine triphosphate
46
It is regulated chiefly by hormones secreted by the glands of the endocrine system.
Metabolism
47
The process of removing excreta from the body.
Excretion
48
Production of offspring
Reproduction
49
An increase in cell size or an increase in body size that is usually accompanied by an increase in the number of cells.
Growth
50
It contains the chemicals used for the energy and cell building.
Carbohydrate
51
Essential for building cell structure
Fat
52
They are required for the chemical reactions that go on in cells and for the oxygen transport in the blood.
Mineral and vitamin
53
This substance accounts for the 60-80% of the body weight.
Water
54
What is the body's normal temperature?
37°C or (98.7°F)
55
The force exerted on the surface of the body by the weight of air
Atmospheric pressure
56
The standard position of the body
Anatomical position
57
In the anatomical position, the body is erect with the feet ___ and the arms hanging at the ____ with the palms facing ___
Parallel, sides, forward
58
This term allow the medical professionals and anatomical to explain exactly where tlone body structure is in relation to another.
Direction term
