Skeletal system
Skeletal muscles

connects bones to bones
connect muscles to bones
tendons
shock-absorbing gel between joints
Cartilage
Functions of muscles
•Movement
•Protects organs
•Thermogenesis
•Blood circulation
•Respiration
Functions of nervous system
•Controls all body’s activities •Receives information about environment
•Stores memories
•Allows thinking and learning
Provide most of the unique functions of the nervous system
neurons
Enables breathing in of Oxygen and releasing of Carbon dioxide
respiratory system
The expulsion of air from the lungs through contraction of the chest cavity
exhalation
The intake of air into the lungs through expansion of the chest cavity
inhalation
Functions of the Respiratory System
•Oxygen Delivery
•Filters, warms, and humidifies inhaled air
•Speech and sense of smell
number of breaths per minute
breath rate
ex: at rest (12-20 bpm), physical activity (30-50 bpm)
