Systems
This system includes bones, joints and muscles
Musculoskeletal system
the process of moving oxygen and carbon dioxide between circulating blood and the cells.
respiration
This organ produces bile to assist in the break down of fat
Liver
These are the large neck arteries that carry blood from the heart to the head
Carotid arteries
The outer layer of the skin
Epidermis
The brain and spinal cord are in this system
Nervous system
the process of moving gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between inhaled air and the pulmonary circulation of blood.
Ventilation
organs of the renal system used to filter blood and regulate fluid levels in the body.
kidneys
The two lower chambers of the heart whose function is assisting with oxygenation
Ventricles
the top, back, and sides of the skull.
Cranium
The pituitary gland, thyroid and adrenal glands are in this system
Endocrine system
an active process in which the intercostal (rib) muscles and the diaphragm contract, expanding the size of the chest cavity and causing air to flow into the lungs.

The round sac-like organ of the renal system used as a reservoir for urine
Bladder
Any vessel that returns blood to the heart
Vein
the two large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs.
bronchi
This system includes the spleen, large and small intestines and the pancreas
Digestive system
the supply of oxygen to and removal of wastes from the cells and tissues of the body as a result of the flow of blood through the capillaries.
perfusion
an organ located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen that acts as a blood filtration system and a reservoir for reserves of blood.
spleen
any blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart.
arteries
These are the 4 components of blood
What are white cells, red cells, plasma and platelets
This system includes tonsils, adenoids and the spleen
Lymphatic system
inability of the body to adequately circulate blood to the body’s cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients; a life-threatening condition. Also called shock.
hypoperfusion
a sac on the underside of the liver that stores bile produced by the liver.
spleen
the largest artery in the body. It transports blood from the left ventricle to begin systemic circulation.
aorta
the muscular structure that divides the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity; a major muscle of respiration.
