|
Integumentary (Skin) System |
Hair, Skin, Nails - Protects deeper organs from mechanicals, chemical, and bacterial injury, and from drying out. Excretes salts. Aids in regulation of body temp, produces vitamin D |
|
Reproductive System |
Male: Testes, prostate gland, scrotum, penis, and duct system, which carries sperm to the body exterior. Female: ovaries, uterine, tubes, uterus, mammary glands, and vagina Provides germ cells called sperm for perpetuation if the species. Provides germ cells called eggs; the female uterus houses the developing fetus until birth, mammary glands provide nutrition for the infant. |
|
Skeletal System |
Bones, cartilages, tendons, ligaments, and joints - Body support and protection of internal organs. Provides levers for muscular action. Cavities provide a side for blood cell formation. |
|
Muscular System |
Muscles attached to skeleton - Primary: Contract muscles or shorten, in doing so, skeletal muscles allow locomotion, grasping and manipulation of the environment, and facial expressions. Generates heat. |
|
Nervous System |
Brain, Spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors - Allows body to detect changes in its external environment and to respond to such information by activating appropriate muscles and glands. Helps maintain homeostasis of the body via rapid transmission of electrical signals. |
|
Endocrine System |
Pituitary, thyroid, thymus, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal glands; ovaries, testes, and pancreas - Helps maintain body homeostasis, promotes growth and development; produces chemical messengers called hormones that travel in the blood to exert this effect on various target organs of the body |
|
Cardiovascular System |
Heart, blood vessels, and blood - Primarily a transport system that carries blood containing oxygen, carbon dioxideZ nutrients, waste, ions, hormones, and other substances to and from the tissue cells where exchanges are made; blood is propelled through the blood vessels by the pumping action of the heart. Antibodies and other protein molecules in the blood protect the body |
|
Lymphatic/Immunity System |
Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and scattered collections of lymphoid tissue - picks up fluid leached from the blood vessels and returns it to the blood. Cleanses blood of pathogens and other debris. Houses lymphocytes that act via the immune response to protect the body from foreign substances. |
|
Respiratory System |
Nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs - keeps blood continuously supplied with oxygen while removing carbon dioxide. contributes to the acid base balance of the blood via its carbonic acid bicarbonate buffer system. |
|
Digestive System |
Oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and accessory structures including teeth, salivary glands, liver and pancreas - breaks down ingested foods to smaller particles, which can be absorbed into the blood for delivery to the body cells. Undigested residue removed from the body as feces. |
|
Urinary System |
Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra - ride the body of nitrogen containing wastes including urea, uric acid, and ammonia, which result from the breakdown of proteins and nucleus acids. Maintains water, electrolytes, and acid base balance of blood. |
|
Several smaller cavities exposed to the enviroment |
- Oral and digestive cavities - Nasal Cavity -Orbital cavity - Middle ear cavities |
|
Cavities not exposed to environment and most abundant cavities |
Synovial (joint) cavities |
