Bodacious Body Systems Overview Health Core We are only going to cover the basic systems and their functions. I am no Professional, but I can write down all questions and we can look them up later.

Intriguing Integumentary System Structures Skin Hair Sweat and oil glands Nails

Intriguing Integumentary System Functions Protection Sensory perception (pain, pressure, temp, touch) Body temperature regulation Storage of fat, sugar, water, vitamins, salts Absorption (many types of medication) Excretion (sweat!) Production of Vitamin D

Scary Skeletal System Structures 206 Bones This is only 39 of the 206 bones in our body

Scary Skeletal System Functions Framework: framework for muscles, fat, and skin Protection of vital organs Levers: muscles attach to bones to provide movement Production of blood cells Storage of calcium and phosphorus

Mighty Muscular System Structures Over 600 muscles!

Mighty Muscular System Functions Excitability-respond to nerve impulses Contractibility-shorten to provide movement Elasticity-the ability to return to original shape

Notorious Nervous System Functions: Sense Information (eye, ear, tongue, skin, nose) Interpret the information and decide what to do Takes action

Crazy Circulatory System Structures: Heart Arteries Veins Blood Function: Transportation of: Carbon dioxide Oxygen Nutrients (etc) throughout the body

Leaping Lymphatic System Structures: Lymph Lymph vessels Lymph nodes Tonsils Spleen Thymus

Leaping Lymphatic System Functions: Removes wastes and excess fluids from the tissues Remove impurities from lymph fluid including carbon, cancer cells, bacteria, virus, and dead blood cells Produces lymphocytes (white blood cell) and antibodies

Rockin’ Respiratory System Structures: Lungs Alveoli air sacks are site of gas exchange Nose Larynx Trachea

Rockin’ Respiratory System Functions Takes in Oxygen Rids the body of Carbon Dioxide

Dynamite Digestive System Structures: Mouth (teeth, salivary glands, tongue) Esophagus Stomach Small Intestine Large Intestine Liver and Gallbladder Pancreas

Dynamite Digestive System Functions: Physical and Chemical breakdown of food Absorption of nutrients into the blood Elimination of solid waste

Unique Urinary System Structures: Kidneys Ureters Urethra Bladder

Unique Urinary System Functions: Removes waste and excess water Maintains acid-base balance in the body
