Roles of the Systems
The system with the role of delivering oxygen and glucose to the cells of the body and then removing waste.
Circulatory System
Consists of bones and muscles working together.
Musculoskeletal System
Organs that convey food matter and process it.
Hollow Organs
Made up of the brain and spinal cord and acts as the control system for the body.
Central Nervous System
The location of the division between the upper and lower airways.
The Larynx
The system with the role of breaking down and absorbing ingested material, allowing it to be used for energy.
Digestive System
Comprised of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
Circulatory System
Organs that create and secrete substances that assist with the chemical breakdown of food.
Solid Organs
Act as the communication lines, with nerves that relay information to and from the central nervous system.
Peripheral Nervous System
Consists of the nasopharynx and oropharynx.
The system that provides structure to the body, allows for movement, and physically protects the body's other systems.
Musculoskeletal System
Has three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers.
Integumentary System
Organ that produces bile, the substance that helps with the absorption of fats by the intestines and detoxifies the blood.
A branch of the peripheral nervous system that is responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements.
Somatic Nervous System
Made up of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs.
Lower Respiratory Tract
The system with the role of bringing oxygen from the air in contact with the blood inside microscopic capillaries.
Respiratory System
Divided into upper and lower tracts.
Respiratory System
The physical tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.
Esophagus
A division of the peripheral nervous system that controls and regulates the involuntary functions of the body.
Autonomic Nervous System
A sheet of muscle at the base of the lungs that pulls air into the airways by creating negative pressure in the chest.
Diaphragm
The system that provides the physical barrier between the inner systems of the body and the outside world.
Integumentary System
Divided into central and peripheral systems.
Nervous System
Organ that both physically grinds up food and chemically digests it with acid.
Stomach
The autonomic nervous system is divided into what two main branches referred to as the "fight or flight" and "rest and digest."
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems
Organ with the physiologic function being the exchange of gases between the blood and the air.
Lungs
