🗑
Nervous   brain , spinal cord, nerves Function: control center(Brain)transmit messages to spinal cords and nerves.  
🗑
Endocrine   pituitary glands, thyroid gland, pancreas, ovaries Function: produce hormones which control body functions  
🗑
circulatory   2 systems a. cardiovascular- heart, blood vessels Function: carries nutrients and wastes B. lymphatic- lymph vessals, lymph nodes Function: assist in imunnity  
🗑

🗑
Maintain boundries   insides remain distinct from outside. Cell has cell membrane; body negramnetary system  
🗑
movement   muscular system  
🗑

🗑
Water   60-80% body weight, provides fluid base for body secretions and excretions  
🗑
Body temperature   37* C/ 98.6*F as body temp drops metabolic reaction slows--> stop/temp. increase reaction speed up proteins broken down. Death at either extreme  
🗑
Correct Atmospheric pressure   Necessary for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. What happens at high altitudes- gas exchange  
🗑
Define Homeostasis   body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal condition even though outside environment is changing.  
🗑
How does the body maintain a stable internal environment?   Communication between 3 major components a. control center b. receptor c. Effector  
🗑
Receptor   (sensory) Responds to changes in environment (internal or external)  
🗑
Control center   (brain) determines appropriate level to maintain for each varible controlled
