What is the primary function of the Integumentary System?
A. Blood cell production
B. Forms a body covering for physical protection from microbes and harsh agents
C. Acts with muscles to induce movement
D. Storage of inorganic salts
Which of the following is a function of the Skeletal System?
A. Temperature regulation
B. Blood cell production
C. Vitamin D synthesis
D. Contains nerve sensory receptors
Muscular System: skeletal, cardiac & smooth muscle that provides force for movement
While body movement (skeletal muscle)
Digestion, uterus, etc (smooth muscle)
Pumps blood (cardiac muscle)
Nervous System: nerves, brain, spinal cord, sense organs
Integrates and coordinates body function via communication with muscles, glands and other nerves.
In many cases it is intimately tied to the endocrine system
Endocrine system: All glands that secrete hormones (chemical messengers)
major endocrine glands: hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries/testis, pineal, thymus
Endocrine: hormones are secreted without ducts (antonym: exocrine -- secrete via ducts).
Integrates and coordinates physiology via the effect of a hormone on a target tissue.
Digestive System: mouth, teeth, tongue, salivary glands, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small and large intestine, etc.
Processes complex foodstuffs into simpler forms to allow absorption.
Transport of foodstuffs through the GI tract and into body fluids
Respiratory System: lungs, bronchi, diaphragm, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity
O₂ input and CO₂ output.
Essential for human life as is needed O₂ to harvest energy (ATP) from food.
Cardiovascular System: heart, blood & blood vessels
Function to move blood with nutrients, waste products as well as hormones throughout the body
Blood: blood cells suspended in a liquid
Veins: vessels which carry blood back to the chambers of the heart
Heart: a muscular pump
Arteries: vessels which carries blood away from the chambers of the heart
Lymphatic System: lymphatic vessels, lymph fluid, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen
Filters tissue fluid and returns it to veins.
Essential component of the immune system
Urinary System: kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
Filters the blood and removes wastes
Controls water and electrolyte balance, blood pressure and red blood cell production
A medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to take pictures of the soft tissues of the body
Magnetic Power
MRI
Physical Signs
Electroshots
The outermost layer of the heart wall is known as:
Myocardium
Endocardium
Epicardium
Pericardium
What is the role of the pericardium?
To regulate heart rate
To ensure one-way blood flow through the heart
To protect and lubricate the heart
To oxygenate blood
