Term
Integumentary system
Definition
e.g. hair/nails/skin; protects underlying tissues, synthesized vit. d, houses cutaneous receptors, sweat, and oil glands
Term
Skeletal System
Definition
protects & supports to initiate movement; formation of blood cells, bones store minerals
Term
Muscular System
Definition
allows manipulation of the environment, movement and expression; maintains posture and produces heat
Term
Nervous System
Definition
fast-acting control system; responds to internal and external changes by activating certain muscles/glands
Term
endocrine System
Definition
secretes horomones
Term
cardiovascular System
Definition
Transports blood, oxygen and CO2, nutrients, waste, etc
Term
Lymph/immunity
Definition
picks up leaked fluid and returns to blood; disposes debris; houses WBC; immunity attacks foreign
Term
Respiratory
Definition
supplies Oxygen; removes CO2
Term
Digestive
Definition
To metabolize nutrients that are needed for other processes;
Term
Urinary System
Definition
Regulates BP, eliminates waste, regulates internal fluid

7) Reproduction
8) Growth
Term
Survival Needs
Definition
1) Nutrients
2) Oxygen
3) Water
4) Normal Temp
5) appropriate atmospheric pressure
Term
Control Mechanisms
Definition
Involves continuous monitoring and regulation of variables; Nervous and Endocrine system
Term
Negative Feedback
Definition
response --> shut down/reduction of an organ
Term
positive feedback
Definition
response enhances the original stimuus; usually infrequent evens (ex: clotting)
Term
Medial
Definition
Toward the midline
Term
lateral
Definition
away from the midline
Term
intermediate
Definition
Between a medial and a lateral structure
Term
proximal
Definition
origin to boy (ex: wrist is prox to thumb)
