Skeletal System Anatomy - Bones - Cartilage - Teeth - Joints Physiology Provide form, protection, structure and strength for the body. Bones also act as levers, store minerals and bone marrow produces blood.
Skeletal System
Muscular System Anatomy The major types of muscles - Skeletal (attached to bones) - Smooth (ex. Digestive tract) - Cardiac ( heart) Physiology Muscles are contractile organs responsible for the voluntary and involuntary movements of animals. The also provide form, support, and movement.
Muscular System
Respiratory System Anatomy - Nostrils, Nasal Cavity, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli, and Lungs Physiology Brings oxygen from the air into the body and expels carbon dioxide from the body. This is accomplished with the help of the circulatory system.
Respiratory System
Circulatory System Anatomy - Heart - Arteries - Capillaries - Veins Physiology Pumps blood throughout the body and exchanges gases, transports nutrients and remove waste from the cells.
Circulatory System
Lymphatic (Immune) System Anatomy - Vessels - Lymps - Lympnoids - Immune Cells Physiology Serving as one of the body’s main vessels of immunity, the lymphatic's primary function is to create immune cells. Auxillary to the circulatory system caring lymph ( a tissue fluid).
Lymphatic (Immune) System
Nervous System Anatomy Central Nervous System - Brain - Spinal Cord - Nerve Cells Peripheral Nervous System - Nerves radiating off central nervous system Physiology Detects and processes information and formulates responses; coordinates and controls all bodily activity. The nervous system sends and receives impulses – electrical signals that travel though the nervous system and provide information to the brain.
Nervous System
Endocrine System Anatomy - Hormones - Glands Physiology Hormones are organic catalysts that influence the growth and development of the body; they are secreted by glands.
Endocrine System
Urinary System Anatomy - Kidneys - Urerters - Bladder - Urethra Physiology Waste products removed with some water after being filtered by the kidneys and stored by the bladder.
Urinary System
Digestive System Anatomy - Mouth - Esophagus - Stomach - Intestines - Cecum* - Gizzard* - Anus Physiology The breaking down of feed into simple substance that can be absorbed by the body. Intakes, stores, digest feed.
Digestive System
Excretory System Anatomy - Kidneys - Urerters - Bladder - Urethra Physiology Waste products removed with some water after being filtered by the kidneys and stored by the bladder.
Excretory System
Reproductive System Anatomy - Testicles - Ovaries - Vas Defrens - Clitoris - Fallopian Tubes - Epididimis - Etc… Physiology The formation of gametes that are placed together during reproduction that results in formation of offspring after gestation in the female.
