THE TEN BODY SYSTEMS Anatomy Physiology STRUCTURE of the organs of the different body systems. Physiology FUNCTION of the organs of the different body systems.
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Skin or integument Accessory organs: blood vessels, receptors, and glands Physiology Protects from radiation, microorganisms, fluid loss Removes metabolic wastes (glands) Maintains temperature
SKELETAL SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Bones (206) Joints Supports Protects vital organs Stores minerals (calcium and phosphorous) Attachment for muscles Blood cell formation
MUSCULAR SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Skeletal muscle Moves bones Maintains posture Supports skeleton Generates heat
NERVOUS SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Brain Spinal cord Nerves Special sense organs Physiology Receives, interprets, and responds to sensations to maintain homeostasis Monitors and controls body activities
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Endocrine glands:pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal Pancreas Gonads Thymus Physiology Hormones, released by endocrine glands, cause a particular changes in the body Maintains long-term homeostasis
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Anatomy Heart Blood vessels: arteries, veins, capillaries Physiology Transports substances throughout the body The heart provides propulsion to move the blood through the vessels Arteries move blood away from the heart Veins move blood back to the heart
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Lymphatic vessels Lymph nodes Spleen Thymus Tonsils Physiology Provides immunological protection from foreign particles Lymphoid tissue manufactures white blood cells which fight disease
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi Lungs Physiology Provides for gas exchange (O2, CO2) between the exterior and the bloodstream Inhalation and exhalation
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Mouth Salivary glands Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Pancreas Liver Gall bladder Small and large intestine Physiology Digestion: prepares food particles for their entry into the bloodstream
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Anatomy Physiology Male: testes, penis, urethra, accessory glands Female: Ovaries, uterus, vagina Physiology Provides for procreation to sustain the species
