New cards

Circulatory system

Transporting oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the body’s cells, removing waste like carbon dioxide

2
New cards

Digestive system

Break down food into nutrients that the body can absorb and use for energy, growth, and repair, while also eliminating indigestible waste

3
New cards

Endocrine system

Creates and releases hormones to maintain countless body functions (growth, metabolism,mood,sexual function, and reproduction

4
New cards

Excretory system

Remove waste products and excess substances from the body, maintaining internal balance

5
New cards

Integumentary system

consist of skin,hair, nails , and glands, serves at the body’s protective outer layer, acting as a barrier a against pathogens and injury

6
New cards

Lymphatic system

keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections 

7
New cards

Muscular system

Producing movement, maintaining posture, stabilizing joints, and generating heat

8
New cards

Nervous system

body’s communication network, detecting information from environmental and internal organs, transmits signals to motor pathways

9
New cards

Reproductive system

produce offspring and ensure the continuation of species

10
New cards

Respiratory system

preforms gas exchange, brings necessary oxygen into the body and removes waste carbon dioxide

11
New cards

Skeletal system

provides support and shape to the body, protects internal organs from injury, enables movement and framework for muscles, stores minerals like calcium and produces blood cells in bone marrow 

12
New cards

Urinary system

filter blood, remove waste products, excess water and electrolytes (producing urine)  and regulate body fluids

13
New cards

Kidney function and structure

filter blood to remove waste, produces urine, and regulate blood pressure, electrolyte balance, they have a cortex and medulla and contains millions of microscopic nephrons

14
New cards

Ureters function and structure

They are paired muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder by peristalsis which is a process of muscle contractions , has inner epithelial lining

15
New cards

Bladder structure and function

Hollow muscular and stretchable organ that serves as a reservoir for strong urine before it is expelled from the body through the urethra

16
New cards

Urethra structure and function

the tube that removes waste from the body, carrying urine from the bladder out of the body in both males and females

17
New cards

How the circulatory interacts with the urinary system

the urinary system filters your blood to get rid of waste and the circulatory system provides that blood to the kidneys allowing them to filter the toxins out

18
New cards

How the endocrine system interacts with the urinary system

The urinary system needs hormones from the endocrine system as they help control the urinary system like, Anti diuretic hormone which helps the body excrete less water in urine, Parathyroid hormone regulates electrolytes and minerals, Aldosterone helps regulate blood pressure in kidneys
