This body system focuses on treating illnesses of the gastrointestinal region. 

What is digestive system?
100

The breakdown of nutrients into into useable forms at the cellular level is done by this process

What is catabolism?

100

A tattoo artist's canvas

Integumentary 

100

The physiological value around which a normal range fluctuates

What is set point?

100

Cells are the smallest, independently living organism on earth but is made up of even smaller particles

What are atoms (or organelles)

200

The smallest independently functioning biological unit of an organism

What is a cell?

200

The function of both breaking down and building up sources of energy from food makes up this biological function

What is metabolism?

200

This body system is generally active before an exam

What is nervous system?

200

The set point for the temperature of the human body

What is 98.6?

200

The human body can be organized or broken down into this number of systems

11

300
A group of tissues that have the same function make up this body structure

What is an organ?

300

A key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive. Without it survival is generally less than 10 minutes

What is oxygen?

300

Includes the pituitary gland and its 8 hormones

endocrine system

300

Control centers in the brain and other parts of the body monitor and react to deviations from homeostasis using this

negative feedback

300

almost all functions of human physiology are performed in cells or are initiated by this structure

Cells

400

The sum of all catabolic and anabolic activities in the body are part of this process

What is metabolism?

400

Unspecialized cells become specialized in structure and function to perform certain tasks in the body.

What is differentiation?

400

Body system includes the heart and blood vessels

cardiovascular system

400

One of the three components of the negative feedback loop, also referred to as a receptor. 

What is a sensor?
400

anatomically distinct structure of the body composed of two or more tissue types.

organ

500

The increase of sweat gland output is a result of stimulating this area to cool the body

What is the heat-loss center?

500

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are broken down into substances that are used in metabolic process and converted to this substance

What is ATP?

500

It's the frame of the body, but you also might see one on Halloween

Skeletal system

500

This part returns the chemical/hormone value to the normal range

What is effector?

500

a group of organs that work together to perform major functions or meet physiological needs of the body.

organ system

600

This type of feedback controls biological processes to prevent accumulation of hormones in the body

What is negative feedback loop?

600

Six categories of nutrients include vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins and this substance

What is water?

600

This system might just make an appearance at a gun show

Muscular system 

600

Blood vessels in the skin begin do this to allowing more blood from the body core to flow to the surface of the skin allowing the heat to radiate into the environment.

What is dilate?

600

The highest system of living organisms within a specific region on the earth

Ecosystem

700

What is anatomical position?

700

The ability of an organism to adjust to changes in the internal and external environment make this a critical function of human life

What is responsiveness?

700

This system removes carbon dioxide from the body

Respiratory system

700

The muscle contractions in response to cold do this

What is shivering?

700

similar cells (though sometimes composed of a few related types) that work together to perform a specific function.

Tissue 

800

The glucose/glucagon feedback loops begins with this stimulus

What is food? (Or increase in blood glucose)

800

Water is the largest component of cells, blood, and the fluid between cells, and makes up about this amount of an adult’s body mass.

what is 70%?

800

Eat something toxic and this system will keep you in the bathroom all night

Digestive system


800

This function results in a change in the body’s status, rather than a return to homeostasis.  

What is positive feedback loop?

800

In multicellular organisms, including humans, all cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body work together to maintain these two things of the organism.

Life and health

900

The pleural serous membrane surrounds this vital organ in the thoracic cavity

What are the lungs?

900

This function of the cardiovascular system requires blood flow to be great enough to enable blood to reach all body tissues, and yet low enough to ensure that the delicate blood vessels can withstand the friction and force of the pulsating flow of pressurized blood.

What is blood pressure?

900

Not only does this system produce gametes, it's also a song from the Grease 2 soundtrack

Reproduction system

900

The stimulus resulting from eating a large meal

increased blood glucose

900

The smallest parts of an atom

protons, neutrons and electrons

1000
Atmospheric pressure, temperature, nutrients and oxygen are essential for homeostasis and also required for this function. 

What is sustaining human life?

1000

Your ability to breathe, that is- take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide is dependent on this requirement

What is atmospheric pressure?

1000

Controls water balance by eliminating waste from the body in a sterile form you can drink

Urinary system
