| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM | FORMS EXTERNAL BODY COVERING PROTECTS DEEPER TISSUES FROM INJURY ; SYNTHHEESIZES VITAMIN D ; SITE OF CUTANEOUS (PAIN PRESSURE ET) RECEPTORS AND SWEAT AND OIL GLANDS (HAIR, NAILS,SKIN) |
| SKELETAL SYSTEM | PROTECTS AND SUPPORTS BODY ORGANS; PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK THE MUSCLES USE TO CAUSE MOVEMENT (BONES AND JOINTS) |
| MUSCULAR SYSTEM | ALLOWS MANIPULATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT LOCOMOTION, AND FACIAL EXPRESSION; MAINTAIS POSTURE; PRODUCES HEAT (SKELETAL MUSCLES) |
| NERVOUS SYSTEM | FAST ACTING CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE BODY RESPONDS TO INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CHANGES BY ACTIVATING APPROPRIATE MUSCLES AND GLANDS. (BRAINS, SENSORY RECEPTOR, SPINAL CORD, NERVES) |
| ENDOCRINE SYSTEM | GLANDS SECRET HORMONES THAT REGULATE PROCESSES SUCH AS GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, AND NUTRIENT USE (METABOLISM) BY BODY CELLS. (PINEAL GLAND PITUITARY GLAND, THYROID GLAND, THYMUS, ADRENAL GLAND, PANCREAS,OVARY, TESTIS) |
| CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM | BLOOD VESSELS TRANSPORT BLOOD, WHICH CARRIES OXYGEN, CARBON DIOXIDE, NUTRIENTS, WASTES, ETC,; THE HEART PUMPS BLOOD ( HEART BLOOD VESSELS) |
| LYMPHATIC SYSTEM / IMMUNITY | PICKS UP FLUID LEAKED FROM BLOOD VESSELS AND RETURNS IT TO BLOOD; DISPOSES OF DEBRIS IN THE LYMPHATIC STREAM; HOUSES WHITE BLOOD CELLS (LYMPHOCYTES) INVOLVED IN IMMUNITY. THE IMMUNE RESPONSE MOUNTS THE ATTACK AGAINST FOREIGN SUBSTANCES WITHIN THE BODY. ( |
| RESPIRATORY SYSTEM | KEEPS BLOOD CONSTANTLY SUPPLIED WITH OXYGEN AND REMOVES CARBON DIOXIDE; THE GASEOUS EXCHANGES OCCUR THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE AIR SACS OF THE LUNGS ( NASAL CAVITY, PHARYNX, LARYNX, BRONCHUS, TRACHEA, LUNG) |
| DIGISTIVE SYSTEM | BREAKS DOWN FOOD INTO ABSORBABLE UNITS THAT ENTER THE BLOOD FOR DISTRIBUTION TO BODY CELLS; INDIGESTIBLE FOODSTUFFS ARE ELIMINATED AS FECES (ORAL CAVITY, ESOPHAGUS, LIVER, STOMACH, SMALL INTESTINE, LARGE INTESTINE, RECTUM, ANUS |
| URINARY SYSTEM | ELIMINATES NITROGENOUS WASTES FROM THE BODY; REGULATES WATER, ELECTROLYTE AND ACID-BASE BALANCE OF THE BLOOD. (KIDNEY, URETER, URINARY BLADDER, URETHRA) |
| MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM | OVERALL FUNTION IS PRODUCTION OF OFFSPRING. TESTES PRODUCE SPERM AND MALE SEX HORMONES ; DUCTS AND GLANDS AID IN DELIVERY OF SPERM TO THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT ( PROSTATE GLAND, PENIS, TESTIES, SCROTUM, DUCTUS DEFERENS) |
| FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM | OVARIES PRODUCE EGGS AND FEMALE SEX HORMONES; REMAINING STRUCTURES SERVE AS SITES FOR FERTILIZATION AND DEVELOPMAENT OF THE FETUS, MAMMARY GLANDS OF FEMALE BREATS PRODUCE MILK TO NOURISH THE NEWBORN (MAMMARY GLANDS (IN BREAST), OVARY, UTERUS, VAGINA, UTER |
