The pancreas belongs to the endocrine system, and is an accessory organ of this organ system.

Digestive System

A directional term that refers to something AWAY from the torso

Distal

What major organs belong to the cardiovascular system?

Heart and blood vessels

The thyroid gland belongs to this organ system.

endocrine system

The major function of this body system is to keep us healthy by protecting us from foreign substances and pathogens.

Lymphatic/Immunity System

This body system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves and maintains homeostasis by generating electrical signals.

Nervous System

This plane divides the body into unequal right and left sides

Parasagittal plane

A directional term that refers to something CLOSER to the torso

Proximal

This plane divides the body or an organ into an anterior (front) portion and a posterior (rear) portion.

The frontal plane/The frontal plane is the

This plane divides the body or organ horizontally into upper and lower portions. It produce images referred to as cross sections. (side view)

Transverse planes

The body system that eliminates nitrogen-containing wastes from the body.

Urinary

The spleen, thymus, and tonsils are all part of the ________ system.

lymphatic/immune

The stomach belongs to this organ system.

digestive system

This organ is a large muscular tube that ends at the anus. large intestine

large intestine

This body system is an essential companion to the cardiovascular system because it picks up leaked fluid from the blood vessels and returns it to the blood.

lymphatic/immunity

If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body, it is called the

midsagittal or median plane

The major organs of this system allow you to draw, play tennis, dance, and frown.

muscular system

List the survival needs of the body

nutrients oxygen water appropriate atmosphere

This plane divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides.

sagittal plane

Bones and joints belong to this organ system.

skeletal system

thoracic

Which two body systems contribute to acid-base balance of blood?

urinary and respiratory system
