Body Systems
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Endocrine system structures | This body system consists of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenals, pancreas, and gonads. |
| Function of the endocrine system | This system regulates long term physiologic process such as growth, sexual development, sleep and reproductive cycles. |
| Function of the respiratory system | This body system regulates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and its surrounding atmosphere. It also creates the sound of our voice. |
| Respiratory system structures | This body system consists of sinuses, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and lungs |
| Function of Muscular System | The contractions of this body system applies tension to our bones, causing us to move and maintain an upright posture. |
| Muscular system structures | Smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscle, tendons |
| Function of the skeletal system | This body system provides the structure and framework for the body, protects vital organs, works with our muscular system to move body parts. It also stores calcium and other minerals and are the site of blood cell production. |
| Skeletal system structures | bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments |
| Function of the nervous system | This body system is the communication and control center, coordinates the body's responses to changes in its internal and external environment. |
| nervous system structures | brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory receptors |
| Function of digestive system | This body system breaks down food into usable nutrients which are absorbed into the blood and packages and eliminates solid waste from our bodies |
| Digestive system structures | mouth, pharynx, esophagus, liver, gallbladder. pancreas, stomach, small intestine, large intestine |
| Function of reproductive system | This body system produces reproductive cells, nurtures and protects a developing embryo |
| Reproductive system structures | male: testes, penis, prostate, seminal vesicle, vans deferens female: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, breasts, |
| Function of Excretory system | This body system cleanses our blood of metabolic wastes which are eliminated in urine. It also helps to regulate pH and electrolyte balances and plays a major role in regulating body fluid. |
| Excretory system structures | kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra |
| Function of Circulatory system | This body system pumps blood throughout the body, carrying oxygen and other nutrients to our cells. |
| Circulatory system structures | heart, blood, capillaries, veins, arteries |
| Function of the Integumentary system | This system forms the body's protective outer covering and contains thousands of sensory receptors. It also plays a vital role in body temperature regulation. |
| Integumentary system structures | skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, oil glands |
