| integumentary system functions | protection, regulation of body temerature, synthesis of chemicals, sense organ |
| skeletal system structure | bones (206), joints, cartlidge and ligaments |
| skeletal system functions | support, movement ( w/ joints and muscles)storage of minerals and blood cell formation |
| muscular system structure | muscles! Voluntary, or striated - involuntary or smooth, cardiac |
| muscular system functions | movement, maintenance of body posture, production of heat, contraction of heart, blood pressure maintenence, intestinal movement to eliminate feces. |
| nervous system structure | brain spinal cord, nerves, sense organs |
| nervous system functions | communication, integration, control, recognition of sensory stimuli |
| endocrine system structure | pituitary gland, pineal gland, hypothaluamus, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, thymus gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries (female), testes (male) |
| endocrine system functions | secretion o special substances called hormones directly into the blood. Same as nervous system - commincation, integration, control. Examples are growth, metabilism, reproduction and fluid and electrolyte balance |
| cardiovascular (circulatory) system structure | heart, blood vessels ( arteries, veins and capillaries) |
| cardivascular ( circulatory) system functions | transportation, regulation fo body temperature and immunity |
| lymphatic system structure | lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, tonsils, thymus, spleen |
| lymphatic system functions | transportation, immunity |
| respiratory system structure | nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs |
| respiratory system functions | exchange of waste gas (carbon dioxide) for oxygen occurs in the alveoli of the lungs! Warm and humidify incoming air. Filtration of irritants from inspired air. Regulation of acid-base balance. |
| digestive system structure | mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anal canal. Accessory organis are teeth, salivary glands, tongue, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and appendix |
| digestive system functions | mechanical and chemical breakdown ( digestion) of food. Absorption of nutrients. Undigested waste product that is eliminated is called feces. |
| urinary system structure | kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra |
| urinary system functions | "clearing" or cleaning blood of waste products, electrolyte blance, water balance, acid-base balance. In males Urethra has urninary and reproductive functions |
| reproductive system structure ( males ) | gonads/testes, genital ducts - vas deferens, urethra, accessory gland - prostate, supporting structures - genitalia ( penis and scrotum) |
| reproductive system structure ( females ) | gonads/ovaries, accessory organs - uterus, uterine (fallopian tubes), vagina. Supporting sturctures - genitalia (vulva) mamamry glands (breasts) |
| reproductive system functions ( both sexes) | survival of genes, production of sex cells ( male - sperm, female - ova) transfer and fertilization of sex cells, development and birth of offspring, nourishment of offspring, production of sex hormones. |
| radiography | imaging technique using x-rays that pass through certian tissues more easily than others, allowing an image of tissues to form on a photographic plate; invented by Wilhelm Rontgen in 1895 |
