Module 1 - Body Org And Systems Flashcards
Muscular System
Smooth, Cardia and Skeletal
Body movement. Produce heat
Urinary System
Kidneys ureters, bladder, urethra
Filter blood, reabsorb nutrients water and ions, eliminate waste
Reproduction System
Male: testes prostrate pensi vas deferents epididymis
Female: mammary glands, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina
Produce gametes for reproduction, produce hormones, females milk and carry embryo
Digestive system
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestine, rectum, anus; also accessory organs—liver, pancreas, gallbladder
◦ break down food, absorb nutrients, eliminate waste
Respiratory System
mouth, nose, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
◦ take up oxygen, get rid of carbon dioxide, regulate blood pH, produce vocal sounds
Endocrine system
hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary, thymus, thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, parathyroid, ovaries, teste
◦ important role in homeostasis, different hormones having different functions
Lymphatic immune Systems
white blood cells, bone marrow, lymph, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, lymph nodules
◦ fight infections, lymphatic system takes up excess interstitial fluid, absorbing fats in digestive tract
Integumentary System
skin, hair, nails, glands
◦ protection, temperature regulation, excrete waste, produce vitamin D, detect sensations
• Skeletal—bones, cartilage, joints
Nervous system
brain, spinal cord, receptors
◦ detect, interpret, and respond to stimuli
Cardiovascular System
heart, blood vessels, blood
◦ transport nutrients, oxygen, hormones, waste
Skeletal System
◦ body movement, store minerals, store fats, produce blood cells
