Major Systems
This system is made up of heart, veins, arteries, and lymph glands
Circulatory System
–It's the muscle at the center of your circulation system, pumping blood around your body
Heart
The primary function of this is to transport food entering the mouth through the throat and into the stomach.
Esophogus
This warms and filters the air coming into the body to protect the respiratory system.
Nasal and Sinus Cavity
This is also known as the cerebral hemispheres
The Brain
This system is made up of the organs that take in food and liquids and break them down into substances that the body can use for energy, growth, and tissue repair.
Digestive System
These are blood vessels located throughout your body that collect oxygen-poor blood and return it to your heart.
Veins
This is a hollow organ, or container that holds food while it is being mixed with enzymes.
Stomach
This primary functin is to protect the lower respiratory tract from aspirating food into the trachea while breathing
Larynx
This is the portion of the brain in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem. It controls balance for walking and standing, and other complex motor functions.
Cerebellum
This system is responsible for providing strength, keeping balance and posture, and allowing movement and producing heat.
Muscular System
These are blood vessels that distribute oxygen-rich blood to your entire body.
Arteries
Though it has many functions, in the digestive system, This processes nutrients absorbed from the small intestine
Liver
This is the tube that connects your voice box with your bronchi in your lungs.
Trachea
This is the structure that connects the cerebrum of the brain to the spinal cord and cerebellum.
Brain Stem
This system contains the Brain and Spinal Cord; coordinates movement and responds to the senses (hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, smelling)
And
Controls function of body tissues (organs); transmit messages from outer parts of the body to the brain.
Nervous System
These are small bean-shaped structures that are part of the body's immune system. They filter substances that travel through the body and help the body fight infection and disease.
Lymph Glands
Also called the colon, this is responsible for processing waste
Large Intestine
They bring oxygen into our bodies and expelled carbon dioxide out
Lungs
This is the column of nerve tissue that runs from the base of the skull down the center of the back. It is surrounded by the vertebrae.
Spinal Cord
This system provides oxygen to the blood of the animal and removes waste gases (like carbon dioxide) from the blood.
Respiratory System
Arteries are what color?
Why are they these colors?
Blue
Red
Arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood
This secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum that break down protein, fats and carbohydrates.
Pancreas
This thin, dome-shaped muscle sits below your lungs and heart and helps you inhale and exhale.
Diaphragm
These are a bundle of fibers that receives and sends messages between the body and the brain. The messages are sent by chemical and electrical changes in the cells.
Nerves
