Overview of the Human Body Systems

Name __Deniss__ Period _______ Date: 10/26/2008 THE HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS System Digestive Function 1. take in food (ingestion) 2. digest food into smaller molecules and absorb nutrients 3. remove undigestable food from body (feces) Transport materials to and from cells Circulatory Nervous 1. gathers and interprets information 2. responds to information 3. helps maintain homeostasis Diagram Major Organs Mouth, esophagus, stomach, Sm. Intestine, Lg. intestine, rectum, anus Salivary glands, pancreas, liver, gall bladder Heart Veins Arteries Capillaries Red blood cells Brain Spinal cord Nerves Nerve cells = neurons hypothalamus InteractionsWorking with Other Systems 1. w/circulatory – absorb & deliver the digested nutrients to the cells 2. w/muscular – control the contractions of many of the digestive organs to pass food along 3.w/nervous – hypothalamus maintains homeostasis by triggering appetite (stomach growling), digest. 1. w/respiratory – deliver O2 from lungs to cells and drop off CO2 from cells to lungs 2. w/digestive – absorb and deliver digested nutrients to cells 3. w/excretory – kidneys filter cellular waste out of blood for removal 4. w/lymphatic – both transport things to and from cells 5. w/immune – transports WBCs throughout body to fight disease 6. w/nervous – brain controls heartbeat 7. w/endocrine – trans. hormones Controls all other systems Hypothalamus – maintains homeostasis by working with all systems System Excretory Function 1. removes waste products from cellular metabolism (urea, water, CO2) 2. filters blood Takes in oxygen Respiratory and removes carbon dioxide and water Skeletal 1. protects organs 2. provides shape, support 3. stores materials (fats, minerals) 4. produces blood cells 5. allows movement Diagram Major Organs Kidneys Ureters Bladder Urethra Lungs Skin – sweat glands Liver (produces urea) Nose Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli lungs Bones Cartilage ligaments InteractionsWorking with Other Systems 1. w/circulatory – filters waste out of blood 2. w/lungs – removes excretory waste 3. w/integumentary – removes excretory waste 1. w/circulatory – takes in O2 for delivery to cells and removes CO2 brought from cells 2. w/excretory – removes excretory waste 3. w/nervous – controls breathing 4. w/muscular – diaphragm controls breathing 1. w/muscular – allow movement 2. w/circulatory – produce blood cells 3. w/immune – produce white blood cells 4. w/circulatory and respiratory – protects it’s organs System Muscular Endocrine Function Diagram Major Organs Allows for movement by contracting Cardiac muscle Smooth muscle Skeletal muscle tendons 1. w/skeletal – allow movement 2. w/digestive – allow organs to contract to push food through 3. w/respiratory – diaphragm controls breathing 4. w/circulatory – controls pumping of blood (heart) 5. w/nervous – controls all muscle contractions Regulates body activities using hormones. Slow response, long lasting Glands *Hypothalamus *Pituitary *Thyroid *Thymus *Adrenal *Pancreas *Ovaries *Testes 1. w/circulatory – transports hormones to target organs 2. w/nervous – maintain homeostasis, hormone release 3. w/reproductive – controlled by hormones 4. w/skeletal – controls growth of bones Glands produce Hormones Immune InteractionsWorking with Other Systems Fights off foreign invaders in the body White Blood Cells *T cells *B cells -produce antibodies *Macrophages Skin 1. w/circulatory – transports WBCs to fight invaders 2. w/lymphatic – has lots of WBCs to fight invaders, spleen filters bacteria/viruses out of blood 3. w/skeletal – WBCs made in bone marrow 4. w/integumentary – prevents invaders from getting in System Function 1. barrier against IntegumenInfection (1st line tary of defense) 2. helps regulate body temp. 3. removes excretory waste (urea, water) 4. protects against sun’s UV rays 5. produces vitamin D 1. stores and Lymphatic carries WBC’s that fight disease 2. collects excess fluid and returns it to blood (2nd circulatory system-reaches places other one can’t – between cells) Reproductive Allows organisms to reproduce which prevents their species from becoming extinct. Diagram Major Organs SKIN *Epidermis *Dermis - sweat gland - sebaceous gland (oil) - hair follicle - blood vessels - nerves Lymph (liquid part of blood – plasma, when it’s in lymph vessels) Lymph Vessels Lymph Nodes Contain WBCs InteractionsWorking with Other Systems 1. w/excretory – removes cellular waste 2. w/nervous – controls body temperature (sweating, goose bumps) 3. w/immune – prevents pathogens from entering 1. w/immune – holds lots of WBCs to fight pathogens 2. w/circulatory – to transport materials to and from cells Ovaries 1. w/endocrine – controls *produce eggs production of sex cells 2. w/muscular – uterus Testes contracts to give birth – *produce controlled by hormones sperm
