Human Body
Endocrine
Thymus- helps train the white blood cells that protect your immune system.
Adrenal Glands- makes steroid hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline
Parathyroid gland- regulating the body's blood level of calcium and phosphorus.
Thyroid gland- makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Pancreas- makes pancreatic juices called enzymes.
Pituitary gland- regulates growth, metabolism, and reproduction through the hormones that it produces.
Pineal gland- to receive information about the state of the light-dark cycle from the environment and convey this information by the production and secretion of the hormone melatonin.
hypothalamus- produces hormones that control: Body temperature. Heart rate. Hunger.
Reproductive
Fallopian Tubes- connect the ovaries to the uterus
Uterus- implantation, gestation, menstruation, and labor.
Ovaries- breast development, body shape, and body hair
Cervix- allows fluids to flow inside and out of your uterus.
Vagina- enables you to experience sexual pleasure, channels period blood outside of your body, and plays a role in both pregnancy and childbirth.
Prostate- produce the fluid that nourishes and transports sperm (seminal fluid).
Penis- urination and sexual intercourse
Testes- making sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone.
Skeletal System
Pelvic Girdle- transfer the weight of the upper body to the lower limbs when sitting or standing, and provide attachment points for muscles that help with locomotion and posture.
Rib cage- a cage of protection for the lungs and heart.
Bones- provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs.
Shoulder Blades- allow for full-functional upper extremity movement including protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, upward rotation, and downward rotation
Collarbone- acts as a strut to connect the sternum to the shoulder blade.
Vertebral column- Surround and protect the spinal cord.
Skull- protect the brain and allow attachments for the facial muscles
Immune System
Antibodies- protect you when an unwanted substance enters your body.
Complement system- opsonize pathogens and induce a series of inflammatory responses that help to fight infection.
White blood cells- help body fight infection and any other diseases.
Lymphatic system- keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections.
Spleen- controls the level of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets
Bone Marrow- manufactures bone marrow stem cells and other substances, which in turn produce blood cells
Thymus- helps train the white blood cells that protect your immune system.
Urinary
Uterus- implantation, gestation, menstruation, and labor
Bladder- Stores urine
Renal Pelvis- Urine collects here and is funneled into the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.
Urethra- empties urine from bladder
Kidneys- cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine.
Levels of orgs
Tissues: a group or layer of cells that work together to perform a specific function.
Organs: part of an organism that is self-contained and has a specific vital function
Cells: the smallest function and structure unit of an organism.
Organs System: a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function.
Muscular system
Parts, muscles, tendons
Skeletal
- Voluntary: Connected to the bones
Smooth
- Involuntary: Found in the digestive tract
Tendon
- Connects the bones to the muscles
Cardiac
- Involuntary: Found in the heart
Function: Movement
Other Systems: Skeletal, Nervous, Circulatory, Digestive
Respiratory system
Trachea
: a large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage that carries air to your lungs
Bronchi
: any of the major air passages of the lungs which diverge from the windpipe
Epiglottis
: a flap of cartilage at the root of the tongue that prevents drinks and food from coming in the windpipe
Diaphragm
: contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges
Nasal Cavity
: that space inside your nose that filters air into your lungs
Bronchiolitis
: common lung infection in young children and infants
Lungs
: One of a pair of organs in the chest that supplies the body with oxygen, and removes carbon dioxide from the body
Aveoli
: any of the many tiny air sacs of the lungs which allow for rapid gaseous exchange
Pharynx
: the membrane-lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the esophagus
Larynx
: the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal cords
Function: Allows us to breath
Other Systems: lymphatic system, immune system, nervous system
Circulatory system
Heart
: pumping blood around your body as your heart beats
Blood
: transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues
Blood vessel
: transport nutrients to organs/tissues and to transport wastes away from organs/tissues in the blood
Function: carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products
Other System: Respiratory System
Nervous system
Parts
Function: transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body, including internal organs
Other Systems: excretory and digestive systems
Spinal cords
: send motor commands from the brain to the body, send sensory information from the body to the brain
Brain
: controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body
Nerves
: carry electrical impulses between your brain and the rest of your body
