Animal and Vet Biology - Wk 7 - Lecture 1
Anatomy
Flash cards for definitions
Mammalian organ systems
Organ systems
Cells = building blocks of life
Tissues = collections of cells, perform specific functions
Organs
Contain several tissue types
often multiple functions
Organs systems
consist of multiple organs
combine to perform one primary function
each organ contributes to this overall function
Musculo-skeletal system
Bones, joints, skeletal muscles
Primary function = movement inc. locomotion
Secondary functions
support of body
protection of organs
generate heat
calcium metabolism
Cardiovascular system
Heart and blood vessels
Primary function = provide nutrition and oxygen to cells
Secondary functions
transport hormones
removal CO2 and other waster
transport immune cells around body
temp regulation
Respiratory System
Nose, nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, lungs, diaphragm, muscles and bones of thorax
primary function = oxygenation of blood
Secondary functions
Removal of CO2
control of blood pH
olfaction
vocalization
Nervous system
Brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, cranial nerves, ganglia
Primary function = sensing environment and coordinating movement
Secondary functions
Thinking/decision making...
Helps with regulation with many other functions
Urinary System
Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra
Primary function = removal of waste an regulation of hydration levels
Secondary functions
regulates blood pressure
regulation of Na, K and CL in blood
territiorial marking
Reproductive System
Ovaries, uterus, cervix, vagina, vulva, testes, prostate, penis
Primary function: REPRODUCTION
Secondary function
manufacture of sex hormones
Digestive System
Mouth, teeth, tongue, stomach, liver, intestines, rectum, anus
Primary function
provision of nutrition to circulatory system for cells
Secondary system
excretion of waste products
hydration
regulation of essentail substnaces
territorial marking
Integument System
Skin also horns, hooves, hair
Primary function = protect body from the outside world
Secondary functions
fighting and sexual selection
locomotion
territoral marking
temp regulation
Immune System
Tymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen
Primary - fight foreign intruders
Secondary = wounding repair, fighting cancer
Endocrine System
Glands that secrete hormones
primarily signalling system
Sensory System
Eyes and Ears
