Suzanne D'Anna1 Body Systems
Suzanne D'Anna2 Body Systems n integumentary n skeletal n muscular n nervous n endocrine n cardiovascular n lymphatic and immune n respiratory n digestive n urinary n reproductive
Suzanne D'Anna3 Integumentary n skin and structures such as hair, nails, and sweat and oil glands. n Functions: - maintenance of body temperature - protection - elimination of some wastes - production of vitamin D - stimuli receptor
Suzanne D'Anna4 Integumentary
Suzanne D'Anna5 Skeletal n all bones, associated cartilage, ligaments and joints. n Functions: - support - protection - movement - blood cell production (hemopoiesis) - mineral storage
Suzanne D'Anna6 Skeletal
Suzanne D'Anna7 Muscular n skeletal muscle tissue n Functions: - movement - maintains body posture - produces heat
Suzanne D'Anna8 Muscular
Suzanne D'Anna9 Nervous n brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors n Functions: - body control by: detecting nerve impulses (action potentials) interpreting changes acting upon changes
Suzanne D'Anna10 Nervous
Suzanne D'Anna11 Endocrine n includes all hormone producing glands, such as pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, etc. n Functions: - controls body activities through hormones transported through the blood to distant “target” organs
Suzanne D'Anna12 Cardiovascular System n blood, heart, and blood vessels n Functions: - distributes oxygen and nutrients to cells - carries carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells - helps maintain acid-base balance - protects against disease - clot formation - regulates body temperature
Suzanne D'Anna13 Cardiovascular
Suzanne D'Anna14 Lymphatic and Immune n lymph, lymphatic vessels, and structures containing lymphatic tissue such as the spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and tonsils n Functions: - filter body fluids - help protect against disease
Suzanne D'Anna15 Respiratory n lungs and associated passageways n Functions: - supplies oxygen - eliminates CO 2 - helps regulate acid-base balance - produces vocal sounds
Suzanne D'Anna16 Respiratory
Suzanne D'Anna17 Digestive - (gastrointestinal tract) n associated organs: salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas n Functions: - physical and chemical breakdown of foods - absorption of foods - eliminates solid materials
Suzanne D'Anna18 Digestive
Suzanne D'Anna19 Urinary n kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra n Functions: - regulates volume and chemical composition of blood - eliminates wastes - regulates fluid and electrolyte balance - regulates acid-base and calcium balance - regulates red blood cell production
Suzanne D'Anna20 Urinary
Suzanne D'Anna21 Reproductive n testes, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, epididymis, vas deferens, penis n Functions: - reproduction of organism
