A & P || CHAPTER 1: Introduction to the Human Body

Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the external environment

• respiratory

• female reproductive

• urinary

• cardiovascular

Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac are types of tissue found in this system; allows for movement; produces body heat

• urinary

• skeletal

• reproductive

• muscular

Acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment; regulates body heat

• integument

• immue

• nervous

• urinary

Produces ova; site of fertilization; maintenance of the developing embryo/fetus

• lymphatic

• cardiovascular

• female reproductive

• digestive

Sends messages throughout the body with impulse generating/conducting tissue; responsible for the involuntary "fight or flight" response

• nervous

• skeletal

• endocrine

• lymphatic

Provides support and protection for the body; site of blood cell formation; place of muscle attachment

• respiratory

• lymphatic

• nervous

• skeletal

System is connected with the water balance of the body and also maintains the pH balance of the body's fluids

• urinary

• lymphatic

• nervous

• immune

Lymph nodes help filter fluids throughout the body because the veins cannot handle the drainage of all the fluids from the body

• nervous

• urinary

• lymphatic

• endocrine

Secretion of testosterone; formation and transport of sperm

• female reproductive

• male reproductive

• immune

• endocrine

Concerned with the breakdown and assimilation of food and the excretion of solid wastes

• endrocrine

• urinary

• digestive

• immune
