Organ Systems, Body Cavities, and Quadrants
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Respiratory System | Maintains blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. |
| Nervous System | Controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses; helps control homeostasis. |
| Muscular System | Causes movement of bones, movement of food, and pumps blood. |
| Integumentary System | Waterproof barrier that blocks the entrance of pathogens into the body and the loss of water from the body. |
| Cardiovascular System | Transports nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide throughout the body. |
| Digestive System | Changes food into absorbable nutrients; expels waste. |
| Urinary System | Regulates composition of blood by eliminating nitrogenous wastes, excess water, and minerals. |
| Endocrine System | Uses hormones to control cell function; helps control homeostasis. |
| Skeletal System | Provides framework for the body and guards body organs. |
| Reproductive System | Produces gametes. |
