Human Body Systems Review: Second half of your notes Structures, Functions, and Interactions
Learning Target Today I am learning about the body systems because they keep me alive by working together.
Let’s start with the endocrine system again… All classes were able to write the notes last week, but nothing further.
Endocrine Organs: glands such as hypothalamus, thyroid, ovaries, testes Functions: Controls body functions by using chemical messages from glands Interactions: Sends growth hormones to skeletal system, releases adrenaline into the blood stream to stimulate the muscles into action.

How does your body protect itself from disease?
Lymphatic System Organs: Tonsil, Spleen, Thymus, Lymph Nodes Function: returns leaked fluids to blood vessels and helps get rid of bacteria and viruses. Interactions: White blood cells made in the bones grow into T cells in the thymus.

Integumentary System Organs: Skin, Hair, Nails Functions: Protects; keeps water in & foreign particles out; allows you touch; regulates temperature; gets rid of wastes (ex- sweat) Interactions: Works with the nervous system to keep you aware of your surroundings.

How does your body EXCRETE waste?
Digestive System (Lower part) Structures: Large Intestines, rectum, anus Functions: Material that cannot be absorbed into the blood stream is compacted in the large intestines for elimination. Interactions: The large intestine absorbs water into the cardiovascular system for use throughout the body.

Urinary Structures: kidney, urinary bladder, urethra Functions: Blood is filtered through the kidneys to remove cell/body waste. Waste is stored in the bladder and eliminated as urine. Interactions: Cleans waste from the circulatory system.

How do our cells get the oxygen they need How do our cells get the oxygen they need? How do they get rid of carbon dioxide?
Respiratory Structures: Nose, Trachea (Wind Pipe), Lungs: Bronchi/Bronchioles, Alveoli Function: Moves oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide and water vapor from the body. Interactions: Circulatory system carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away.
Respiratory

Circulatory or Cardiovascular Structures: Heart, blood vessels Functions: Heart pumps blood through all blood vessels. Interactions: Highway system of the body, carries food (digestive) and oxygen (respiratory) to the cells and carries waste away.

How does your body reproduce?
Reproductive Structures: Testes (male), ovaries, and uterus (female) Function: Create a new living individual Interactions: The endocrine system regulates the hormones necessary for sexual maturity and reproduction.
