|---|
| Cardiac Muscles | Found around the heart; Involuntary |
| Smooth Muscles | Found in the internal organs: Involuntary |
| Skeletal Muscles | Attached to muscles; Voluntary |
| Tendon | Tough tissue fiber that attaches muscle to bone. |
| Bone | Structural material of skeletal system. |
| Periosteum | Thin sheet of outer tissue that covers bone. |
| Bone marrow | Soft tissue in the hollow center where RBC's are produced. |
| Cartilage | Soft connective tissue; cushions. |
| Ligament | Tough fiber that connects bones together. |
| Joint | Point where two bones meet. |
| Tips of a Healty System | Protective equipment, diet, exercise, & posture. |
| Epidermis | Outer layer of skin, includes surface dead cells, inner living cells and lipids. |
| Dermis | Thick layer cells below e.dermis: sweat glnds, sebaceous glds, hair foll., conn. tissue, bld vessles, & nerve endings. |
| 3 Functions of the Skin | waterproof shield/lipids, temperature regulation/sweat glands, sense organ/nerve endings. |
| Thyroid Gland | Regulates metabilism, body heat, and bone growth; lowers blood calcium levels. |
| Parathyroid Gland | Regulates calcium and phosphorus balance. |
| Adrenal Gland | Regulates stress response; maintains blood pressure & metabolism of fats, proteins, & carbs; maintains salt & water balance. |
| Pancreas Gland | Regulates blood sugar levels. |
| Ovaries (gland) | Regulates female reproductive glands that produce ova and estrogen. |
| Testes (gland) | Regulates male reproductive glands that produce sperm and testosterone. |
| Pituitary Gland | Produces hormones that control growth and activities of other endocrine glands. |
| Thymus Gland | Influences maturation of some immune system cells. |
| Effects of the pancreas releasing too little insulin: | Sugar levels would be too high and increase the risk of diabetes. |
| Muscular System | Cardiac, Smooth, & Skeletal Muscles |
| Skeletal System | Bone, Periosteum, Bone Marrow, Cartilage, Ligaments, and Joints. |
| Integumentary System | Epidermis and Dermis |
| Endocrine System | Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal, Pancreas, Ovaries, Testes, Pituitary, and Thymus. |
| Immune/Lymphatic System | Spleen, Bone Marrow, Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Nodes. |
| Spleen | Works as a filter where white blood cells remove foreign particles. |
| Bone Marrow | The site of production of the white blood cells. |
| Lymphatic Vessels & Lymph Nodes | Contain white blood cells that attack and destroy bacteria, viruses, and dead or damaged cells. |
| How do antibodies fight disease? | WBC's that are exposed to a bacteria or virus make antibodies (proteins) that can attach only to that bacteria or virus; antibodies stop pathogens from invading body cells and keep them in bloodstream; this gives WBC's time to locate and destroy pathogens. |
| Urinary/Excretory System | Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. |
| Nephrons | The structures filter blood in the kidneys. |
| Tips for Healthy Urinary Syster | Drink lots of water and maintain healthy blood pressure. |
| Functions of the Muscular System | Locomotion or mobility, strength, heat production, shock absorption, shaping the body, maintaining posture, and respiration |
| Functions of the Skeletal System | it provides the shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals. |
| Functions of the Integumentary System | act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature. |
| Function of the Endorcrine System | to secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. |
| Function of your Immune System | your body’s defense mechanism against illness. |
| Functions of the Urinary/Exretory System | ridding the body of nitrogenous (nitrogen-containing, discussed below) and other wastes. |
