What are the accessory organs of the skin and why are they important? 4.6 Integumentary System What are the accessory organs of the skin and why are they important? They include nails, hair, and glands. Nails are derived from the epidermis and offer a protective covering. Hair follicles are derived from the _______, but hair grows from __________ cells. Oil glands are associated with hair and produce _________ that lubricates the hair and skin and retards ______________. Sweat glands are derived from the dermis and help to regulate ______________.
Moving from tissue to organs and organ systems 4.7 Organ Systems, Body Cavities, and Membranes Moving from tissue to organs and organ systems An organ is 2 or more tissue types working towards a particular function. An organ system is a combination of organs that work together to carry out a particular function.

What about the body membranes that line the cavities? 4.7 Organ Systems, Body Cavities, and Membranes What about the body membranes that line the cavities? Synovial membranes – line the cavities of freely movable joints Meninges – cover the _____ and __________
4.8 Homeostasis What is homeostasis? It is the ability to maintain a relatively constant ________ environment in the body. The ________ and _________ systems are key in maintaining homeostasis. Changes from the normal tolerance limits result in illness or even death.
All systems are important in maintaining homeostasis Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Endocrine System All systems of the body contribute to maintain homeostasis. These systems in particular are especially note worthy. Endocrine glands secrete hormones, which also regulate and coordinate the activities of other systems. Works more slowly than the nervous system. Nervous System Respiratory System Regulates and coordinates the activities of all the other systems. It responds quickly to internal and external stimuli. Supplies blood with oxygen for tissue cells and rids blood of carbon dioxide. Helps regulate the acid–base balance of the blood. Cardiovascular System Urinary System Transports oxygen and nutrients to tissue cells and transports wastes away from cells. Also transports hormones secreted by the endocrine glands. Excretes nitrogenous and other wastes. Regulates water–salt balance of the blood. Helps regulate the acid–base balance of the blood. Digestive System Lymphatic System Supplies blood with nutrients and water for tissue cells. Rids the body of nondigestible remains. Helps maintain blood volume by collecting excess tissue fluid and returning it via lymphatic vessels to the cardio vascular veins. Defends against disease. Figure 4.15. Homeostasis by the organ systems of the human body. Muscular System Integumentary System Produces heat that maintains body temperature. Protects and supports internal organs. Helps maintain body temperature and protects internal organs.
What are the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis? __________ feedback – the output of the system resolves or corrects the original stimulus __________ feedback – brings about an increasing change in the same direction as the original stimulus
Negative feedback The primary mechanism for maintaining ____________ 4.8 Homeostasis Negative feedback The primary mechanism for maintaining ____________ The output of the system __________ the original stimulus Has 2 components sensor control center Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
