13. FUNCTION STRUCTURE  Composed of the heart and blood vessels  Carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances to and from the tissue cells where exchanges are made  White blood cells help protect the body against toxins  The heart acts as the blood pump

14. FUNCTION STRUCTURE  Includes the lymphatic organs, lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils  Returns leaked fluid from the blood to the blood vessels so that blood can be continuously circulating through the body  Helps to cleanse the body and house the cells involved in immunity

15. FUNCTION STRUCTURE  Keeps the body constantly supplied with oxygen and to remove the carbon dioxide  Consists of the nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs

16. FUNCTION STRUCTURE  A long tube that runs from the oral cavity to the anus  Includes the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small & large intestines, and rectum  Breaks down food and delivers the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells  Ingestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces

17. FUNCTION STRUCTURE  Rids the body of nitrogen containing waste (urea and uric acid) in the form of urine  Maintains the body’s water and salt balance  Regulates the acid-base balance of the blood  Composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra

18. FUNCTION STRUCTURE  Exists primarily to produce offspring  Male: › Testes produces sperm and male sex hormone (testosterone) › Includes the scrotum, penis, glands and duct system  Female: › Ovary produces eggs; or ova and female sex hormones (estrogen) › Includes the uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina › The uterus provides the site for the development of the fetus once fertilization has occurred › Mammary glands in the breast produce milk for newborns

19. 1. Interdependency 2. Necessary Life Functions 3. Survival Needs

20.  Organ Systems do not work alone › The integumentary system protects the body as a whole from the external environment › The digestive and respiratory system, in connection with the external environment, take in nutrients and oxygen › Nutrients and oxygen are distributed by the blood to all body cells › Elimination of metabolic wastes from the body is accomplished by the urinary and respiratory system

22.  Maintain Boundaries  Movement  Respond to Environmental Change  Take in and digest nutrients  Carry out metabolism  Dispose of waste  Reproduce  Grow

23.  An organism’s insides must remain distinct from its outsides  Every cell in the human body is surrounded by a membrane that contains its contents and restricts the entry of potentially damaging or unnecessary substances  The whole body is enclosed by the integumentary system

24.  Includes all the activities promoted by the muscular system  The muscular system is aided by the skeletal system  Also occurs when substances such as blood, food stuffs, and urine are propelled through the internal organs of the cardiovascular, digestive and urinary system.

25.  The ability to sense changes (stimuli) in the environment and then to react to it.  The nervous system bears the majority of the responsibility because they fire electrical impulses quickly between each other

26.  Process of breaking down and absorbing food into simple molecules that can be absorbed into the blood for delivery to all body cells by the cardiovascular system

27.  All chemical reactions that occur within the body cells › Breaks down complex substances into simpler building blocks › Makes larger structures from smaller ones › Using nutrients and oxygen to produce ATP molecules  ATP – energy rich molecules that powers cellular activities  Depends on › Digestive and respiratory systems to make nutrients and oxygen available to the blood › Circulatory system to distribute these substances throughout the body  Regulated chiefly by hormones secreted by the glands of the endocrine system

28.  Process of removing excreta (waste) from the body  The body must get rid of nonuseful substances produced during metabolism and digestion.

29.  The production of offspring  Can occur at the cellular or organismal level  Cellular › Mitosis – somatic cells › Meiosis – gametes  The function of the reproductive system is regulated by hormones of the endocrine system

30.  An increase in size  An increase in the number of cells  Cell-constructing activities must occur at a faster rate than cell-destroying activities

31.  The goal of all body systems is to maintain life  Includes: › Nutrients › Oxygen › Water › Temperature › Atmospheric Pressure

32. NUTRIENTS OXYGEN  Taken in via your diet  Contain chemicals used for energy and cell building  Carbohydrates are the major energy producing fuel  Proteins and fats (lipids) are essential for building cell structures  Fats cushion body organs and provide reserve fuel  Minerals and vitamins are required for the chemical reactions that go in cells and for oxygen transports in the blood.  Approximately 20% of the air we breathe is pure oxygen  It is made available to cells in body through the circulatory and respiratory systems

33. WATER TEMPERATURE  60-80% of body weight  The single most abundant chemical substance in the body  Provides the fluid base for body secretions and excretions  Obtained solely from ingested foods and liquids  Lost by evaporation from the lungs and skin and in body excretions  Body temperature must be maintained at around 37 o C (98 o F)  If body temperature drops below normal range, metabolic reactions become slower and finally stop  If body temperature is too high, chemical reactions proceed too fast, and body proteins begin to break down, causing death.

34. AMTOSPHERIC PRESSURE  The force exerted on the surface of the body by the weight of air  Controls breathing and the rate of Carbon dioxide exchange  High altitudes where air is thin and atmospheric pressure is lower, gas exchange may be too slow to support cellular metabolism.

35.  The body’s ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions, even though the outside world is changing  Indicates a dynamic state of equilibrium › EX.  Blood levels/ blood pressure  Excretion of waste  Body temperature

36.  Communication is IMPORTANT  Accomplished chiefly by the endocrine and nervous systems  All homeostatic control mechanisms have 3 parts › Receptor › Control center › Effector

37. Receptor Control Center  Some type of sensor that monitors and responds to changes in the environment  Responds to changes called stimuli by sending information (input) to the control center along the afferent pathway › Afferent means to approach/ go towards the control center  Determines the levels (set point) at which a variable is to be maintained  Analyzes the information it receives  Determines the appropriate response or course of action

38.  Provides the means for the control center’s response (output) to the stimulus  Information flows from the control center to the effector along the efferent highway › Efferent information exits the control center  The results of the response then feed back to the influence the stimulus › Depressing it – negative feed back › Enhancing it – positive feed back Effector

39. Interaction between the receptor, control center and effector is necessary for normal operation of the system

40. Negative Positive  The net effect of the response is to the stimulus is to shut off the original stimulus or to reduce its intensity › Home heating systems › Hypothalamus by regulating heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, blood levels of C 6 H 12 O 6, O 2, CO 2, and minerals  Rare in the body  Increase the original disturbance (stimulus) and push the variable further from its original value. › Blood clotting › Birth of a baby

41.  Cause some diseases  Internal conditions become less and less efficient  Cause a greater risk for illness and produce changes in the body
