Integumentary System major organs
Definition
Edidermal and dermal regions; cutaneous sense organs and glands
Term
Integumentary system function
Definition
  • protects deeper organs from mechanical, chemical and bacterial injury and drying out
  • excretes salts and urea
  • aids in regulation of body temp
  • produces vit D
Term
Skeletal system organs
Definition
bones, cartilages, tendons, ligaments, and joints
Term
Skeletal system function
Definition
  • primary function is to contract or shorten; in doing so skeletal muscles allow locomotion (running,walking, etc.), grasping and manipulation of the environment,and facial expression
  • generates heat
Term
muscular system function
Definition
  • primary function is to contract or shorten; in doing so, skeletal muscles allow locomotion (running, walking, ect.) grasping manipulation of the enviroment, and facial expression
  • generates heat 
Term
Muscular System organs/components
Definition

muscles attached to the skeleton 

Term
Nervous System components/organs
Definition
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors
Term
Nervous System Function
Definition
  • Allows body to detect changes in its internal and external environment and to respond to such information by activating appropriate muscles or glands
  • helps maintain homeostasis of the body via rapid transmission of electrical signals 
Term
Endocrine system organs/components
Definition

pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid,adrenal,and pineal glands; ovaries, testes and pancreas

Term
Endocrine system function
Definition
helps maintain body homeostasis, promotes growth and development, produces chemical messengers called horomones that travelin the blood to exert their effect(s) on various target organs of the body
Term
Cardiovascular system organs/components
Definition

heart,blood vessels, and blood

Term
Cardiovascular system function
Definition
  • primarily a transport system that carries blood containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, ions, horomones and other substances to and from tissue cells where exchanges are made;blood is propelled through the blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart
  • antibodies and other protein molecules in the blood protect the body
Term
Lymphatic/Immunity system organs/components
Definition
lymphatic vessels,lymph nodes,spleen, thymus, tonsils, and scattered collections of lymphoid tissue
Term
Lymphatic system function
Definition
  • picks up fluid leaked from teh blood vessels and returns it to the blood 'cleanes blood of pathogens and other debris
  • houses lymphocytes that act via the immune response to protect the body from foreign substances 
Term
Respiratory system organs/components
Definition
nasal passages,pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
Term
respiratory system function
Definition

keeps the blood continususly supplied with oxygen while removing carbon dioxide

contributes to the acid-base balance of the blood via its carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system

 

Term
Digestive system organs/components
Definition
oral cavity,esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, and accessory structures including teeth, salivary glands, liver, and pancreas
Term
Digestive system function
Definition
breaks down food to minute particles, which can be absorbed into the blood for delivery to the body cells
Term
urinary system organs/components
Definition

kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra

Term
urinary system function
Definition
  • rids the body of nitrogen containing wastes including urea, uric acid, and ammonia, which result from the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids
  • maintains water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood
Term
Reproductive system organs/components
Definition
  • Male: testes, prostate gland, scrotum, penis, and duct system, which carries sperm to the body exterior
  • Female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, mammary glands, and vagina 
Term
Reproductive system function
Definition

Male: provides germ cells callled sperm for perpuation of the species

Female:provides germ cells called eggs;the female uterus houses the developing fetus until birth; mammary glands provide nutrition for the infant
