Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism
Glands produce enzymes that aid in digestion
Glands filter blood and remove waste products
Glands are responsible for muscle contraction and movement
-osis
abnormal condition
normal condition
healthy state
temporary condition
Digestive System
Breaks food down into absorbable units and eliminates waste
Stores nutrients for later use
Produces hormones that regulate metabolism
Filters toxins from the blood

Closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment
At the midpoint of the body part
Towards the outer surface of the body
Dorsal Cavity
Includes the cranial and spinal cavities

Respiratory System
Keeps blood supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide
Regulates body temperature and removes waste
Produces hormones and regulates metabolism
Transports nutrients and oxygen to cells
Survival Needs
Nutrients, oxygen, water, stable body temperature, and appropriate atmospheric pressure
Only food and water are necessary for survival
Only oxygen is required for survival
A stable body temperature is not important for survival
