138
Skeletal System
The body's basic framework supports organs, furnishes a place of attachment for muscles.
This system consists of over 200 bones with their
joints and is collectively known as the skeleton
139
Muscular System
Body movements are due to the action of the muscles, which are attached to bones. This system therefore, permits motion and movement of the body. Other types of muscles are present in the walls of organs such as the heart and the intestine
140
141
Circulatory System
(cardio=heart, vascular=vessels.) The heart,
(Cardiovascular) blood vessels, lymph vessels and lymph nodes make up the system whereby blood is pumped to all the tissues of the body, bringing with it nutrients, oxygen and other substances, and carrying away waste materials
142
Digestive System
: This system comprises all organs, which have to do with taking in food and converting the useful parts of it into substances that the body cells can use. Organs in this system are the mouth, teeth, esophagus, stomach, intestine and accessory organs such as the liver and the pancreas
143
respiratory system
Includes the lungs and passages leading to and from them. The purpose of this system is to absorb oxygen from the air, which is then dissolved into the blood and carried to all tissues of the body. A waste product of the cells, carbon dioxide, is taken by the blood to the lungs, where it is expelled to the outside air
144
Integumentary System: The word "integument" means skin. This system includes the skin, hair and sweat and sebaceous glands. The purpose of this system is to cover and protect the body. It also assists in regulating body temperature and has the functions of sensation and excretion
The word "integument" means skin. This system includes the skin, hair and sweat and sebaceous glands. The purpose of this system is to cover and protect the body. It also assists in regulating body temperature and has the functions of sensation and excretion
145
Urinary System:
The main components of this system are the (Excretory Sys.) kidneys, ureters, bladder and the urethra. Its purpose is to filter out and rid the body of waste products taken by the blood from the cells. (As noted above, other waste products are removed via the digestive and the respiratory systems
146
Nervous System
The brain, spinal cord, nerves and special senses integrate the various intellectual and physical processes of the body. It gives the body an awareness of its environment and enables it to react accordingly
147
Endocrine System
The endocrine glands (thyroid, pituitary, ovaries) secrete hormones which regulate body functions such as growth, food utilization and reproduction
148
reproductive system
This system includes the external sex organs System and all related inner structures that are concerned with the production of new individuals
