CHAP 4: OrganSystems
UHS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Organ | a structure made of teo or more kinds of tissues organized in such a way that they can together perform a more complex function than can any tissue alone. |
| Integumentary System (Organs) | Skin, hair, nails,sense receptors,sweat glands, and oil glands |
| Integumentary System (Functions) | protection, regulates body temperature, synthesizes chemicals, and acts as a sense organ |
| Skeletal System (Organs) | bones and joints |
| Skeletal System (Functions) | support, movement of jionts and muscles,storage of minerals, blood cell formation |
| Muscular System (Organs) | Voluntary (striated)muscles, involuntary (smooth), and cardiac muscles |
| Muscular System (Functions) | movement, maintenance of of body posture, production of heat, contraction of the heart, blood pressure maintenance, and intestinal movement to eliminate feces |
| Nervous System (Organs) | Brains, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs |
| Nervous Sysstem (Functions) | Communication,itegration,control and recognition of sensory stimuli;control is FAST-acting and of SHORT duration |
| Endocrine System (Organs) | Pituitary gland, pineal gland, hypothalamus, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovaries(females), testes(males) |
| Endocrine System (Functions) | Responsible for secretion of special substance called hormones directly into blood. also responsible forcommunication, integration, and control within body. SLOW |
| Hormone Regulation | Growth, metabolism, reproduction and fliud & electrolyte balance |
| Cardiovascular (Circulatory) System (Organs) | Heart, blood vessels: arties, viens, capillaries |
| Cardiovascular System (Functions) | transportation, regulation of body temperature, immunity (body defense) |
| Lymphatic System (Organs) | Lymphatic nodes, lymphatic vessels, tonsils, thymus, and spleen |
| Lymphatic System (Functions) | Transportation and immunity within the body |
| Respiratory System (Organs) | Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea,bronchi, and lungs |
| Respiratory System (Functions) | exchanges of wate gas (carbon dioxide) for oxygen, (occurs in alveoli of the lungs); warms and humidifies incoming air and filters out irritants from inspired air; regulates the acid-base balance within the body |
| Digestive System (Organs) | PRIMARY-mouth,pharynx,esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anal canal SECONDARY-teeth, salivary glands, tongue, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and appendix |
| Digestive System (Functions) | responsible for mechanical and chemical breakdown(digestion); absorption of nutrients; Undigested waste product(feces) is eliminated |
| Appendix | structural but NOT functional part of digestive system |
| Appendicitis | inflammation of appendix |
| Urinary System (Organs) | kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra |
| Urinary System (Functions) | responsible for cleaning or clearingthe blood of waste products (excreted from body as urine); responsible for |
| Reproductive System (Organs) | MALE:gonads(testes), gentials ducts(vas deferns),urethra, prostate (accessory gland);supporting structures-genitalia, scrotum&penis FEMALE:gonads(ovaries); accesory-uterus, uterine tubes(fallopian tubes), and vagina;supporting structure-genitalia(vulva)an |
| Reproductive Systems (Functions) | survival of genes and production of sex cells (male:sperm,female:ova), responsible for the transfer and fertilization of sex cells,development&birth&nourishment of offspring,production of sex hormones |
