Bronchi: It distributes air throughout the lungs.
Trachea: Carries oxygen rich air to your lungs.
Bronchiolitis: Makes the bronchioles swell and inflame
Larynx: It protects the lower respiratory tract aspirating food into the trachea while breathing.
Avioli: Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.
Pharynx: It carries, air, food, and fluid down through the body from the nose and mouth.
Lungs: Stores air when you breath in and gets rid of the air when you breathe out.
Nasal Cavity: Filters and warms the air, making it moist before it gets to the lungs.
Diaphragm: It contracts and flattens while breathing in, which creates a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs.
Skeletal System
Protection: Because the bones are so hard, they help protect the different parts of the body
Ligaments: Attach the bones together
Provides support and movement.
Makes Calcium Storage
Cartilage: Tissue that is firm but can bend.
Works with Muscular System to move the body
Bones: Hold the body together ; spongy, and compact.
Muscular System
Skeleton Muscle: The hard outer bone that is most commonly known.
Cardiac Muscle: The hard outer shell on a bone.
Smooth Muscle: Soft, on the inner part, involuntary
Tendons hold together the muscles and bones
Involuntary does stuff without being told by the Brain
Voluntary has to be told by the Brain
Works with Skeletal system to help your body move.
Circulatory System
Blood: Carries the oxygen in it's stream throughout the body and delivers the oxygen to different parts of the body.
Blood Vessels: Store blood.
Heart: Pumps blood so that the body can perform.
Arteries: Carry blood away from the heart.
Veins: Carry blood back to the heart.
Capillaries: Connects the small artery branches to the small vein branches.
Nervous System
Spinal Chord: Takes the messages from your brain and tells different parts of your body what to do.
Nerves: Helps you feel things on the inside and outside of your body.
Brain: Tells your body what to do and is the main part in the nervous system.
Endocrine System
Pancreas: Produces insulin
Levels Of Organization
Organ System: Different Organs coming together to perform an important job in the body.
Organism: A living thing made with many different organ systems working together to run the body.
Organ: Tissue coming together to make a part of the body
Tissue: A group of cells that come together to perform a function
Cells: The smallest structural unit of an organism
Thyroid: Regulates metabolism
Digestive System
Rectum: Stores food until it is pushed out of your body.
Large Intestine: Absorbs water and switches the liquid into stool.
Small intestine: It further digests food that is heading for the stomach
Small Intestine: It helps further digest food coming from the stomach
Gallbladder: Gets rid of waste from blood in the body
Stomach: Stores food and breaks it down with acid.
Teeth: Chops up the food to make it easier for the mouth to find materials
Pancreas: Makes pancreatic juices called enzymes.
Mouth: Breaks down the food for nutrients.
Works with the muscular system to move the food around.
Testes, Ovaries
Pituitary: Controls the whole endocrine system
Adrenal: Adrenaline
The system produces hormones to help the body grow and develop.
Works with the circulatory, after the endocrine system creates the hormones, the circulatory then takes the hormones to the different parts of the body.
Urinary System
Bladder: Holds the urine inside.
Urethra: Empties urine from the bladder.
Ureters: Carries urine from the kidney to the bladder,
Lungs: Removes the waste carbon dioxide from the body.
Kidney: Get's rid of waste in blood and turns it into urine.
Immune System:
Helps fight off diseases and sicknesses
White blood cells: Help the body fight infections and other diseases.
T cells: Help protect the body from diseases and would help with cancer,
Integumentary (1st line of defense)
Skin is the main protector
Helps regulate body temp
Sweat Gland (keeps the inside of your body cool
Blood Vessels and Nerves stop pathogens from entering the body.
Liver: Coverts nitrogenous waste into urea.
B cells: Creates antibodies which help fight illnesses.
Lymphatic (2nd line of defense)
Collects excess fluid and returns it to the blood stream.
Carries WBC's that fight diseases.
Reproductive System
Makes humans which allows humans to not become extinct
Testes: Produce the sperm cells.
When the female eggs and the male sperm comes in contact, it becomes a fertilized egg, fertilized eggs grow into babies.
Ovaries: Produce the female eggs.
Works with the Digestive System
Works with the Digestive System to get food and liquids through the body.
Works with the skeletal system to allow your body to move.
Works with the Muscular, and Nervous System.
Works with the muscular system to help your body move.
Works with the nervous, endocrine, excretory, and circulatory systems.
Works with the Nervous and Immune system.
Works with the digestive and urinary systems.
Works with every system because it gives them oxygen.
Works with the nervous system, lymphatic system, and immune system.
