1 Body systems overview

2 Body System Major Organs Function Integumentary System Skin, hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands, nails, and sensory receptors 1st barrier to disease and the environment; controls body temperature, keeps body fluids inside body

3 Defense against infection and disease
Immune/ Lymphatic System Lymph nodes, white blood cells Defense against infection and disease

4 Intake of air and gas exchange
Respiratory System Lungs, nasal cavities, sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi Intake of air and gas exchange

5 Internal transport of cells and dissolved materials
Circulatory System Heart, blood vessels, blood, veins, arteries, capillaries Internal transport of cells and dissolved materials

6 Digestive System Mouth, teeth, tongue, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder, and pancreas Intake of food, mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, absorption of building blocks of food and formation of solid waste

7 Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
Excretory System Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra Filter blood and remove nitrogenous wastes from blood and maintain water, salt, acid/base, and ion balance

8 Bones, cartilage, joints
Skeletal System Bones, cartilage, joints Support and protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, and blood production

9 Provide movement, produce heat, and support skeletal position
Muscular System Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle tissues, tendons Provide movement, produce heat, and support skeletal position

10 Endocrine System Glands (pineal, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes, and ovaries Uses hormones to regulate body temperature, metabolism, development, and reproduction; maintains homeostasis

11

12 Testes, penis (male); ovaries, uterus, breasts (female)
Reproductive System Testes, penis (male); ovaries, uterus, breasts (female) Produces sex cells to create children, controls female and male characteristics

13 Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs
Nervous System Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs Processes information, provides short-term control over activities of organ systems, and directs immediate responses to stimuli
