Anatomy Exam

What are organ systems?

integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive

What is the integumentary system?

skin

What is the skeletal system?

protects and supports body organs, and provides frameworks the muscles use to cause movement.

What is the muscular system?

Consists of skeletal muscles, tendons that connect muscles to bones, and ligaments that attach bones together to form joint

What is the nervous system?

Consists of the brain, spinal cord & nerves & it serves as the body's CONTROL SYSTEM

What is the endocrine system?

HORMONES!!

Lymph nodes, immune system

What is the respiratory system?

This system keeps the body's cells supplied with oxygen

What is the urinary system?

the excretory (urinary) system helps maintain the water & electrolyte balance in the body.

What is the digestive system?

consists of all organs from mouth to the anus involved in the ingestion and breakdown or processing of food.

Reproduce offspring- produce male sex cells (sperm) and female sex cells (oocytes)

What is homeostasis?

the ability of an organism to maintain consistent internal environment in response to changing internal or external conditions
