- Chemical
- Cellular
- Tissue
- Organ
- System
- Organism
What are the 11 body systems?
- Integumentary
- Endocrine
- Skeletal
- Muscular
- Cardiovascular
- Respiratory
7.Lymphatic/Immune - Reproductive
- Digestive
- Urinary
- Nervous
4 Non-Invasive Diagnostic Techniques
- Inspection
- Palpation
- Ausculation
- Percussion
Explain Inspection?
Examining the body for any change away from normal
Explain Palpation?
Examining body surface by gently
touching with hands
Explain Ausculation?
Listening to body sounds to verify
the functioning of certain organs
Explain Percussion?
Tapping the body surface with
fingertips
Explain the Integumentary System
Protects the body/Helps regulate body temperature/Eliminates some wastes/Detects sensation/Provides insulation
What makes up the Integumentary System?
Skin/Hair/Nails/Sweat and Oil Glands
Explain the Endocrine System
Regulates body activities by releasing hormones
What makes up the Endocrine System?
Pineal Gland/Hypothalamus/Pituatary Gland/Thymus/Thyroid gland/Parathyroid Glands/Adrenal glands/Pancreas/Ovaries/Testes
What makes up the Skeletal System?
Bones/Joints/Cartilage
Explain the Skeletal System
Supports and protects the body/Provides surface area for organs and muscle attachments/Aids body movements/Stores minerals and lipids/Produces blood cells
Explain the Muscular System
Aids with body movement/Provides support/Produces body heat
What makes up the Muscular System?
Skeletal muscle tissue
What makes up the Cardiovascular Sysyem?
Heart/Blood/Blood Vessels
Explain the Cardiovasular System
The heart pumps blood throughout the body through blood vessels/Blood carries oxygen and nutrients/Removes carbon dioxide and other wastes/
Explain the Respiratory System
Transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood/Removes carbon dioxide from blood by exhaling
What makes up the Respiratory System?
Lungs/Pharynx/Larynx/Trachea/Bronchial tubes
Explain the Lymphatic/Immune System
Returns protein and fluids to blood/Carries lipids from gastrointestinal tracts to blood/Produces B and T cells
What makes up the Lymphatic/Immune System?
Lymphatic fluid and vessels/Spleen/Thymus/Lymph nodes
What makes up the Reproductive System?
Gonads(Testes/Ovaries)/Penis/Vagina/Mammary Glands
Explain the Reproductive System
Gonads produce gametes which unite to form new organisms/Gonads release hormones to regulate reproduction and other body processes
Explain the Digestive System
Achieves the physical and chemical breakdown of foods/Absorbs nutrients from the food you eat/eliminates wastes(Urine/Defecation)
