Integumentary System
the skin and its appendages. It protects, eliminates waste, and helps regulate body temperature.
Skelatal System
Made up of bones, joints, and cartalidges. Used to support the body, protect organs, and produces blood cells
Muscular System
Pumps the heart, helps move materials through the digestive tract, anf moves the body. Made up of cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles
Nervous System
the sensory and control apparatus consisting of a network of nerve cells. Includes Brain, Spinal Cord, & Nerves
Endocrine System
the system of glands that produce endocrine secretions that help to control bodily metabolic activity. Includes hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovaries (F), and testis (M)
Respatory System
Delivers oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from blood. Made up of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, broncheus, and lungs
Cardiovascular System
Transports oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells and remove waste product. Made up of the heart and blood vessels
Lymphatic System
Returns body fluids to the blood stream. Made up of lymph nodes, spleen, and lymphatic vessels
Digestive System
Breaks down food for absorbtion of nutrients in the body. Made up of oral cavity, esophogus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus
Urinary System
Removes nitrogen-containing waste from blood. Made up of kidneys, ureter, urinary blatter, and urethra
Male Reproductive System
Enables production of offspring. Made up of the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, ductus deferens, penis, testis, and scrotum
Female Reproductive System
Enables production of offspring. Made up of mammary glands, uterine tube, ovary, uterus, and vagina
Organ System
includes 2+ organs that work together
Tissues
are made up of similar cells with a common function
Molecules
atoms combine together in different ways to form larger particles called
Organ
is a body part organized to perform a specific function and is composed of at least two different types of tissues.
Homeostasis
is the state of regulated physiological balance
Homeostatic Mechanisms
Organ systems cooperate to maintain homeostasis through a process called
Negative Feedback
is a mechanism that reverses a condition that has exceeded the normal homeostatic range and restores homeostasis.
Positive Feedback
further increases a condition that has exceeded normal homeostatic range.
Homeostatic Imbalance
is a condition in which there is a decreased ability for the organ systems to maintain the body's internal environment within normal range.
Metabolism
relates to all chemical reactions within an organism to maintain life
Receptor
is a transmitter that senses environmental changes
Effector
is the unit that recieves a command stimulus from the control center and causes an action to help maintain homeostasis
Atom
is a tiny particle of matter
Metabolic Rate
is the speed at which your body consumes energy
Control Center
recieves and analyzes information from sensory receptors, then sends a command stimulus to an effector to maintain homeostasis
Abdominal Cavity
contains the stomach, liver, and other parts of the digestive tract
Nasal Cavity
is situated inside the nose
Spinal Cavity
surrounds and houses the spinal cord
Anterior Body
is a continuous internal opening that includes the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
Anatomy
is the study of the form or structure of all living things, including plants and animals
Saggital Plane
Invisible vertical line that divide sthe body into right and left halves
Middle Ear Cavities
are found in the skull and act as chambers for transmitting and amplifying sound
Cranial Cavity
the opening inside the skull that holds the brain
Anatomical Position
When someone is standing erect with arms at the sides and palms facing forward
Frontal Plane
is an invisible vertical line that splits the body into front and back halves
Abdominopelvic Cavity
is where the abdominal and pelvic cavities are found
Transverse Plane
an invisible horizontal line that splits thye body into top and bottom halves
Pelvic Cavity
an internal opening that holds reproductive and excretory organs
Thoracic Cavity
contains the heart and lungs among other organs
Cavity
is an open chamber that holds the internal organs of a body
Posterior Body
located near the back of the body and is a continuous internal body opening that includes the cranial and spinal cavities.
