Organ System
What is the external covering of the body that includes hair, skin, and nails
The Integumentary System
This includes all activities promoted by the muscular system propelling ourselves from one place to another
What is Movement
This is when the body takes in food that contains chemicals used for energy and cell building, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins.
What is Nutrients
This scan demostrates glucose metabolism in a normal brain with mild cognitive impairement and glucose is metabolized at an even lower level in a brain with Alzheimers plaques.
What is a PET scan- Positron emission tomography
Farther from the origin of the body
What is distal
This system works along side with the Cardiovascular system in removing waste products and is involved with the immunity system
The Lymphatic System
The ability to sense changes (stimuli) in the environment
What is responsiveness or irritabilty
To sustain life this must remain consistent. If it drops to low or raises to high death can occur.
What is normal body temperature
This is used to identify changes in breast tissue including dense masses or calcifications.
What is a mammogram
Toward or at the front of the body
What is Anterior
This consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors and is the body's fast acting control system.
The Nervous System

What is metabolism
This accounts for about 60-80% of your body weight
What is water
This detects the amount of calcium and minerals stored in bone and is the major diagnostic test for osteoporosis
What is a bone density (densitometry) test

The Urinary System
The production of offspring: when a sperm unites with an egg
What is reproduction

What is oxygen
This was developed in the 1950's and employs high frequency sound waves as its energy souce
What is ultrasound imaging or ultrasonography
Close to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
What is proximal
This system controls body activities producing chemical molecules called hormones, releasing into the blood to travel to a distant target organs.
The Endocrine System
Removal of wastes from the body. Example: The digestive system rids the body of indigestible food residues in feces.
What is Excretion
This force is exerted on the surface of the body by the weight of the air
What is atmospheric pressure
This variation of the MRI allows tracking of blood flow into the brain in real time.
What is functional magnetic resonance imaging
Toward the head end or upper part of a structure or the body
What is Superior
