The Eleven Body Systems Flashcards
(51 cards)
Name the eleven body systems
- Integumentary
- Muscular
- Skeletel
- Nervous
- Endocrine
- Lymphatic
- Cardiovascular
- Respiratory
- Digestive
- Urinary
- Reproduction
What are the three main organ structures of Integumentary?
Epidermis, dermis and hypodermis
Epidermis function? (Integumentary)
Protects us by covering our surface and covering deeper tissue, it also produces vitamin D
Dermis function? (Integumentary)
Provides nutrients to the epidermis, like hair follicles and hair, sweat glands. Nails start as a dermis and grow out to the epidermis and finally our sensory receptors
Hypodermis function (Integumentary)
Stores fat and attaches skin to deeper layers
What are the four main structures of the Muscular?
Skeletal muscles, axial muscles, appendicular muscles, and tendons and aponeuroses
Skeletal muscle function? (Muscular)
Skeletal muscles control skeletal movement, they control our entrance and exits, produce heat, support our skeleton and protect soft tissue
Appendicular muscle function? (Muscular)
Appendicular muscles support and move and brace our limbs
Axial muscle function? (Muscular)
Axial muscles support and position the axial skeleton
Tendons and Aponeuroses function? (Muscular)
Tendons translate contractile forces into tasks, Aponeuroses are interfaces between muscles and bone
What is the organ structure of the Skeletal?
Bones, cartilage and joints, Axial skeleton, Appendicular skeleton and Bone marrow
Cartilage function? (Skeletal)
Able to resist compressive forces, enhance bone resilience, and provide support on bony areas where there is a need for flexibility
What are cartilages? (Skeletal)
Cartilage are bone interfaces, there is hyaline for ribs and joints and fibro for discs
Axial skeleton function? (Skeletal)
Axial skeleton protects the brain and spinal cord and also supports body weight
Appendicular skeleton function? (Skeletal)
Appendicular provides internal support
Bone marrow function? (Skeletal)
Bone marrow can be red or yellow
- Red marrow contains blood cells are in flat bones, like pelvis, sternum skull
- Yellow marrow stores fat cells
Two organ structures of Nervous?
Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
CNS function?
The central nervous systemโs responsibilities include receiving, processing, and responding to sensory information
PNS function?
Feeds information into your brain from most of your senses, It carries signals that allow you to move your muscles, PNS also delivers signals that your brain uses to control vital, unconscious processes like your heartbeat and breathing
Pineal gland function? (Endocrine)
Pineal gland is part of the brain and functions day and night rhythms like melatonin
Pituitary gland function? (Endocrine)
Pituitary gland, main action is to secrete other hormones, regulates growth and controls many other endocrine glands
Thyroid function? (Endocrine)
Thyroid gland controls your metabolic rate, and your Parathyroid gland which monitors calcium levels
Thymus function? (Endocrine)
The Thymus controls maturation of lymphocytes. Adrenal glands ,maintain water and mineral balance, tissue metabolism and fluid balance
Kidney function? (Endocrine)
The kidneys are included due to them being a major hormone producing cell, they produce red blood cells, blood pressure and calcium levels
