Term Definition
Skeletal System the function of this system is to protect and support axial-skull, rib cage, vertebral column, appendicular- pectoral and pelvic girdles and arms and legs.
206 How many bones are there in the human body?
Cranium skull
Maxilla upper-jaw
Mandible lower-jaw
Clavicle collar bone
Pelvis hip bone
Coccyx tail bone
Ulna lower-arm(it is stationary)
Metacarpals Hand Bones
Phalanges fingers
Patella knee cap
Fibula small lower leg
Metatarsals foot bones
Scapula shoulder blade
Sternum breast bone
Rib Cage ribs
Vertebral Column Vertebrae
Sacrum Base of "v" shaped column
Humerus upper arm
Radius lower-arm (moving)
Carpals wrist bones
Femur upper leg
Tibia large lower leg
Tarsals Ankle
Muscular System the function of this system is to move the skeleton and contract organs
Masseter cheek muscle
Pectoralis major large chest
Sternocleidomastid A muscle that looks like steroids
Biceps flex lower arm
Trapezius reaches from the neck to the back
Triceps stretch lower arm
External Oblique side body
Rectus Abdominus abdomen
Gluteus Maximus large butt
Rectus Femoris covers femur
Vastus Lateralis side upper-leg
Satorius thigh over to knee
Gastrocnemius calf muscle
Deltoid shoulder area
Cardiac(heart), Skeletal(on bones), and Smooth(visceral)(covers organs) Three types of muscle tissue
Digestive System the function of this system is to take in, break down, and absorb nutrients and eliminate solid waste.
Digestive tract Also known as: GI Tract, alimentary canal
Mouth Where chemical and physical digestion begins
Salivary Glands secrete saliva, turn food into ball(bolus)
Pharynx where you swallow food
Esophagus transports food to the stomach
Stomach mix/grind food and store food
Cardiac Sphincter valve on top of the stomach
Pyloric Spincter valve at the bottom of the stomach
Small Intestine absorb nutrients
Lever to secrete bile, helps break down fats.
Gall Bladder stores bile
Pancreas secretes digestive enzymes
Large Intestine(colon) reabsorbs water
Rectum waste is stored here
Anus waste comes out of this
Respiratory System the function of this system is the exchange of gases(take in 02 and release CO2 and excess water)
Mouth/Nose take in air
Epiglottis covers the trachea
Pharynx I DONT HAVE WHAT THE FUNCTION FOR THIS IS
Trachea air goes into this
Bronchi carry air to and from lungs
Bronchioles carry air to and from lungs
Alveoli gas exchange happens here
Diaphragm causes lungs to expand and contract
Circulatory System the function of this system is to pump the blood and transport blood throughout the body.
Heart pumps blood
Arteries carry blood away from the heart
Arterioles connects arteries to capillaries
Capillaries exchange gas, nutrients, wastes, connect arteries and veins.
Venules moves blood back to the heart
Veins carry blood back to the heart
Blood carries nutrients, and O2 to all cells and removes CO2 and metabolic waste
Coronary(circulation through the heart), Pulmonary(circulation to and from lungs), and Systemic(circulation to and from body) The three types of circulation
Excretory System the function of this system is to remove liquid waste of metabolism
Kidneys these filter blood
Ureters carry urine to urinary bladder
Urinary Bladder stores the urine
Urethra removes urine from body
Skin remove sweat(salt, water)
Pores these release the sweat
Oil Gland this produces oil
Nervous System the function of this system is the integration and control of information
Brain and Spinal Cord the central nervous system(CNS)
brain sends, receives, and integrates messages
spinal cord relays messages to and from the brain
Neuron, Synapse, Cerebrum, and Cerebellum the peripheral nervous system(PNS)
Neuron nerve cell
Synapse space between two neurons
Cerebrum large part of the brain(intellect and memory)
Cerebellum smaller part of the brain(associated with coordination)
Male Reproductive System the function of this system is to produce sperm in the male body and prepare it for delivery to the female's body
Testes produce sperm
Vas Deferens transport sperm to urethra
Penis delivers semen to female reproductive tract
Scrotum house the testes
Female Reproductive System produce eggs, houses and nourishes a developing embryo
Ovaries produce eggs
Fallopian Tubes(oviducts) transport eggs to uterus
Uterus nourishes/protects developing fetus
Vagina transports unfertilized eggs out of body, and facilitates sperm transport into the body
Ovulation release of a mature egg
Menstruation shedding the uterine lining
Menopause when ovulation ceases, this is what it's called.
Endocrine System the function of this system is that it secretes hormones(chemical messengers) to trigger target organs.
Pituitary Gland "master gland" - secretes hormones that trigger other endocrine glands
Thyroid Glands secrete thyroxine(regulates metabolism) and calcitonin(regulates Ca+ levels)
Parathyroid Glands secretes parathyroid hormones(PTH)
Thymus Gland functions in the immune system
Adrenal Glands secrete norepinephrine and epinephrine
Pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels
Ovaries secrete estrogen and progesterone
Testes secrete testosterone
