Human Body Systems
Human Body
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Connective Tissue | A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts(Ligmaents, tendons, blood, fat, cartilage) |
| Organ | Two or more tissues that work together to preform a similar function(Stomach, heart, intestines) |
| Muscle Tissue | A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move. (Cardiac, smooth, skeletal) |
| Muscular System | Moves the body; moves materials through the body(skeletal muscles, tendons, smooth muscles, cardiac muscles) |
| Reproductive System | Produces sex cells; produces offspring (testes, sperm, ovaries, eggs, gametes) |
| Circulatory System | Transports oxygen nutrients and other needed materials to cells; transports wastes away from cells (Hearts, blood vessels, blood) |
| Excretory System | Removes wastes, including excess water, unusable materials from food, carbon dioxide, and harmful materials) Skin, lungs, kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra) |
| Nervous System | Detects and responds to changes in the environment; transmits information throughout the body (brain, spinal cord, nerves) |
| Immune System | Protects against diseases (lymph nodes, lymph vessel, white blood cells) |
| Lymphatic System | Helps fight diseases; extension of immune and circulatory systems (lymph nodes, lymph vessels, lymph) |
| Digestive System | Breaks down food into nutrients calls can use; disposes of solid wastes (mouth esophagus stomach small intestines large intestines live pancreas bladder rectum anus) |
| Integumentary System | Separates the body and the external environment covers/protects; eliminates wastes (skin, hair, nails) |
| Respriratory system | Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the external environment (nose, pharynx larynx, trachea bronchi lungs) |
| Endocrine System | Secretes hormones to regulate body functions; coordinte other organ systems; helps maintain balance in body systems (pituitary gland, hypothalamus, pancreas, testes, ovaries) |
| Epithelial Tissue | A body tissue that covers the surfaces of the body inside and out (Skin, lining of organs) |
| Skeletal System | Moves and supports the body; protects internal organs; makes blood; stores minerals (bones cartilage ligmaents) |
| Organ System | Two or more organs working together to perform a similar function (Muscular system, Skeletal system, cardiovascualr system) |
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that perform the same function (Epithelial, connective, Muscle, Nervous) |
| Nervous Tissue | A body tissue that carries electrical message back and forth between the brain and every other part of the body |
| Organism | Any living thing All systems working together |
