Human body
Human Body
Urinary System
Bladder
Sac-like structure, stores urine until eliminated
Urine
Liquid waste filtered from blood
Urethra
Tube that passes urine from the bladder to outside of body
Kidneys
Liquid waste carried in blood collects the nephrons and forms urine.
Ureters
Passes urine out of the kidneys and into the bladder
Nervous System Function: Transmits signals between the brain and the body
Nerves
They carry electrical impulses between your brain and the rest of your body.
Spinal Cord
The pathways for messages sent by the brain to the body and from the body to the brain.
Brain
Controls thoughts, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, and every proccess that runs our body
Endocrine System
Ovaries
breast development, body shape, and body hair
Testes
They makes sperm and are also involved in a producing hormone called testosterone
Adrenal Glands
Produces hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress, etc.
Thyroid
Supports the rate at which the body uses fats and carbohydrates
Pancreas
Creates natural juices called pancreatic enzymes to break down food
Muscle System Function: responsible for movement
Tendons
Serves to move the bone or structure
Soft Tissue bones
Connects and supports other tissues and surrounds the organs in the body
Muscles
Responsible for movement and heat production
Bones
Protects the body's organs, supports the weight of the body and gives the body shape
Ligaments
Helps strengthen and stabilize joints, permitting movement only in certain directions
Levels of Organization
organism
organ system
organs
tissue
cells
Digestive System
rectum
Last section of the large intestine before reaching the anus where waste is expelled.
large intestine
Recieves waste from the small intestine. It absorbs any remaining water. Transmits water for elimination
small intestine
Breaks down food into even smaller parts using enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. Most nutrients are absorbed here.
pancreas
Secretes enzymes into the small intestine to further break down food
gall bladder
Stores bile produced by the liver until it is needed to break down fatty food in the small intestine
stomach
Stores food and breaks down the food with acid and physical churning.
liver
Filters blood coming from the digestive tract. The liver produces bile that aids in the digestions of fatty foods.
esophagus
The stretchy tube that food travels down from the back of the throat to the stomach
mouth
The teeth break down food into smaller pieces. The tongue pushes the food into the esophagus
Respiratory System Function: allows us to breathe
Trachea
They carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs, they also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs
Bronchi
They carry air to and from your lungs
Alveoli
The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and out
Lungs
Allows us to breathe, brings oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out
Skeletal System
Bones
Provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs
Ligaments
Holds structures together and keeps them stable
Cartilage
Provides support on bony areas where there is need for flexibility
Circulatory System
Blood
Transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues
Viens
They collect oxygen-poor blood and return it to your heart
Arteries
Arteries distribute oxygen-rich blood to your body
Heart
It pumps blood around your body as your heart beats
Capillaries
They transport blood, nutrients, and oxygen to cells in your organs and body systems
Reproductive System
Penis
urination and sexual intercourse.
Testes
making sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone.
Prostate
produce the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm (seminal fluid).
Ovaries
breast development, body shape, and body hair
Vagina
provides a passageway for blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus during a woman's monthly period.
Cervix
allows fluids to flow inside and out of your uterus.
Uterus
responsible for the menstrual cycle
Fallopian Tubes
channels for oocyte transport and fertilization.
Immune System
Tonsils
stop germs entering the body through the mouth or the nose.
Bone Marrow
manufactures bone marrow stem cells and other substances, which in turn produce blood cells.
Appendix
acts as a storehouse for good bacteria, “rebooting” the digestive system after diarrheal illnesses.
Spleen
fights any invading germs in the blood
Lymph Nodes
filter substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid
Thymus
directs the development and selection of T-cells which direct adaptive immunity
Lymphatic Vessels
collect and filter lymph (at the nodes) as it continues to move toward larger vessels called collecting ducts.
