Integumentary
This layer of the skin contains nerve endings, blood vessels, and sweat glands.
The Dermis
Name the three types of muscle tissue.
Smooth, cardiac, skeletal
What are the main functions of the skeletal system? Name at least 3
Support, protection, movement, storage, blood cell production
What is the role of the nervous system in the body
to gather and respond to information
What system uses hormones to control growth and energy use
The endocrine system
The skin regulates body temperature using this process.
Sweating or shivering
This structure connects skin to muscle
connective tissue
Name three bones that protect internal organs
Skull, rib cage, pelvis
These cells send messages throughout your body
Neurons
Name the 2 structures of the reproductive system
Egg and sperm cells
This pigment helps protect DNA from UV radiation damage.
This type of muscle is only found in the heart.
Cardiac muscle
This type of joint, like the shoulder, allows movement in many directions.
Ball and socket joint
This part of the nervous system controls thinking and learning
The brain
Hormones travel through this to get to different parts of the body
The blood stream
These structures in the skin help remove waste and cool you down
Sweat glands
Define the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscle and give one example of each.
Voluntary = under conscious control (skeletal); Involuntary = automatic (cardiac/smooth).
How do joints contribute to skeletal movement
They allow bones to move relative to one another
This part connects the brain to the rest of the body
The spinal cord
Name the 2 types of reproduction
Sexual reproduction (2 organisms) Asexual reproduction (1 organism)
Explain how the integumentary system works with the nervous system when you touch something hot
Nerves in the skin send signals to the brain, which tells your muscles to pull away
Explain how the muscular and nervous systems work together to create movement.
Nerves send signals to muscles, causing them to contract and move bones.
This is the soft tissue in bones where blood cells are made
Bone marrow
Describe how the nervous system works with muscles when you catch a ball.
Your eyes see the ball, the brain sends signals to muscles, and your hands move to catch it.
How do the reproductive and endocrine systems work together?
The endocrine system controls the release of hormones that help the reproductive system function.
