A & P
Levels of structural organization and organ systems.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Chemical Level | Atoms combine to form molecules. |
Cellular Level | Cells are made up of molecules. |
Tissue Level | Tissues consist of similar types of cells. |
Organ Level | Organs are made up of different types of tissue. |
Organ System Level | Organs consist of different organs that work closely together. |
Organism Level | The human organism is made up of many organ systems. |
Skeletal System | Protects and supports body organs, and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals. |
Muscular System | Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat. |
Nervous System | As the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands. |
Endocrine System | Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells. |
Cardiovascular System | blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste, etc. *The heart pumps the blood* |
Lymphatic System/Immunity | The tissues and organs, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes, that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease. |
Respiratory System | Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs. |
Digestive System | Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces. |
Urinary System | Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood. |
Reproductive System | System of organs involved in producing offspring. |
