• Organ systems

Do Organ Systems work in Isolation?

No, they do not work in Isolation

Four facts about The Circulatory System

• Blood carries oxygen (body needs to inhale) and helps remove carbon dioxide (needs to remove)

• Blood transports necessary nutrients

• Blood is pumped by the heart, arteries away, veins back to

• Capillaries are tiny blood vessels throughout the body

Which is NOT true about the digestive system

• The stomach contains acids to break down food

• Digestion begins with enzymes in the stomach

• The large intestine absorbs water from the digestion of nutrients

• The small intestine does most of the absorption of nutrients

• True

• False (mouth)

• True

• True

Three facts about the endocrine system

• Includes growth hormone; responsible for drastic growth

• Includes adrenaline; when in high stress situations

• Includes many glands that secrete hormones

Which is NOT true about the excretory system

• Kidneys remove waste from the blood

• Removes waste from sweating

• Excretes feces

• Excretes urine

• True

• True

• False (digestive)

• True

Three facts about the integumentary system

• Helps protect your organs from damage

• Assists with regulation of body temperature

• Controls water loss

Which of the following is NOT true about the Lymphatic/Immune system

• Lymph is fluid from plasma that surrounds cells

• Protects against pathogens

• Includes bone marrow and tonsils

• Absorbs vitamins to keep you healthy

• True

• True

• True

• False (pretty sure it’s the Digestive, although not completely sure)

What are the three types of muscular tissue?

• Skeletal; can be attached to bone

• Smooth; can line esophagus

• Cardiac; in heart

Which of the following is NOT true about the Nervous System?

• Consists of the brain; spinal cord; and neurons

• Controls voluntary and involuntary actions

• Secretes adrenaline into the blood

• Skeletal; can be attached to bone

• Smooth; can line esophagus

• Cardiac; in heart

Which system allows for humans to make babies?

Reproductive system

Which is NOT a function of the Respiratory system

• Takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen

• Takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide

• Involves the lungs

  
  

• False (other way around)

• True

• True

Three facts about the skeletal system

• Provides structural support

• Protects organs

• Produced blood s from bone marrow

Integumentary system

• Protects body from the outside world, and keeps moisture inside

• Helps regulate body temperature

• Contains sense receptors for pain, temperature and touch

• Includes skin; sweat glands; hair; and fingernails

Muscular system

• Moves the body, makes materials within the body

• Generates heat

• Skeletal muscle; attached to the bone and move the body around, smooth muscle tissue and cardiac muscle tissue are included in other systems

Skeletal system

• Provides shape, support and protection

• Allows body to move

• Blood cells are produced in bone’s marrow

• Includes bones; cartilage; joints (ligaments and tendons)

Nervous system

• Controls and coordinates body functions

• Receives signals, processes information, and transmits responses to organs

• Includes brain; spinal cord; nerves

Digestive system

• Breaks down food and absorbs useful nutrients

• Gets rid of waste

• Useful nutrients are used by the body for energy and building materials

• Includes mouth; esophagus; stomach; liver; small and large intestine; anus; rectum

Respiratory system

• Inhales oxygen, and allows it to be dissolved in the bloodstream

• Exhales/removes CO2 from the bloodstream

• Nose; larynx; trachea; bronchi; lungs; diaphragm (muscle that works the lungs)

Cardiovascular/ Circulatory system

• Regulates body temperature (amount of blood flowing near body’s surface)

• Delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and waste materials away from all cells

• Main distribution system for chemical signals, and white blood cells

• Heart; blood vessels; blood (considered a connective tissue, although most are solids)

Lymphatic/Immune system

• Takes leaked out fluid from blood vessels back to the cardiovascular system

• Checked for signs of infection bu the white blood cells

• Sometimes scientists identify the immune system as a separate system

• Lymph vessels; lymph nodes; tonsils; thymes; spleen

Urinary/ Excretory System

• Removes excess fluid and many dissolved waste products from the body

• Kidneys; Ureters; bladder; Urethra

Endocrine system

• Regulates and controls growth, development and various body functions by releasing chemical signals called hormones into the bloodstream

• Various glands including: pituitary; adrenal; thyroid glands

• Ovaries in females, Testes in Males

Reproductive system

• Produced children through sexual reproduction

• Vagina; uterus; ovaries;

• Or Penis; testes

What two systems control the communication between the other body system?

• Automatic neurons system

• Endocrine system

What 3 body processes are mainly involved in Cellular Respiration

• Digestive system

• Cardiovascular system

• Respiratory system
