Nervous System, Digestive System, The Respiratory system, Urinary System, Circulatory System, Endocrine System, Muscular System, Skeletal System

Cerebrum

"Brain" area Divided into Right and left hemispheres, connected by the Corpus Callosum

Thyroid gland

1. Butterfly-shaped gland in the throat that burns up digested food.

4 Major Brain Structures

1. Cerebellum 2. Cerebrum 3. Brainstem 4. Spinal Cord

Pancreas

1. Located behind the stomach 2. Endocrine and exocrine functions

Order of Stimulus (from sensory to effector)

1. Stimuli: physical or chemical signal (ex. hot room) 2. Nerve impulse (ex. sends signal to brain) 3. Effectors: muscle & glands react (ex. sweat glands start sweating)

Pituitary gland

1. Tiny gland in the brain. Known as the "master" gland.

Function of endocrine system

1. To secrete hormones 2. Hormones are chemical messengers that coordinate and direct target cells and organs

number of bones in an adult skeleton

206

vertebral column

26 bones protecting the spinal cord in your back

white blood cells

A blood cell that fights disease.

Heart

A hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.

Triceps

A muscle that extends Forearm

Biceps

A muscle that flexes the forearm

Involuntary Muscle

A muscle that is not under conscious control. The heart is an example.

Voluntary Muscle

A muscle that is under conscious control

esophagus

A muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.

Urethra

A small tube through which urine flows from the body

large intestine

Absorbs water and forms feces

Type of joint found at the hips and shoulder

Ball and Socket Joint

red blood cells

Blood cells that carry oxygen to body cells and takes away carbon dioxide

arteries

Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

veins

Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart.

Digestive System

Breaks down food into smaller molecules to be absorbed and used for fuel/energy

Diaphragm

Breathing begins with a dome-shaped muscle located at the bottom of the lungs.

Spinal Cord

Connection between the brain and the nerves to get messages out.

Brain Stem

Connects brain to spinal cord Controls breathing and heart beat

tendon

Connects muscle to bone

Left Cerebral Hemisphere

Controls Right Body Logical, Math, Calculations, Organized traits

Autonomic Nervous System

Controls involuntary bodily functions (not consciously controlled), such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes

Right Cerebral Hemisphere

Controls left body, Creative, Visual, facial recognition, visual, and musical traits

Circulatory System

Controls the steady circulation of the blood through the body by means of the heart and blood vessels

Occipital Lobe

Controls vision/sight

Somatic Nervous System

Controls voluntary bodily functions (consciously controlled), such as controlling skeletal muscles

Temporal Lobe

Controls your hearing & memory.

Frontal Lobe

Controls your logic, decision making, concentration, and personality

Cerebellum

Coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth, balanced muscular activity -

Urine

Fluid wastes removed from the body by the kidneys

Type of joint found at the elbow and knee

Hinge Joint

cardiac muscle

Involuntary muscle tissue found only in the heart.

Bronchi

It allow the passage of air to the lungs.

Nostrils

It involved the air intake, it bring air into the nose.

Epiglottis

It is a leaf-shaped flap of cartilage located behind the tongue, at the top of the larynx, or voice box.

Trachea

It is also known as windpipe, it filters the air we inhale and branches into the bronchi.

Aveoli

It is the tiny sac like structure present in the lungs which the gaseous exchange takes place.

small intestine

Long hollow tube where most absorption of nutrients occurs

smooth muscle

Muscle tissue in the walls of body organs such as the stomach and intestines. It controls involuntary movement and makes the organs expand and contract.

skeletal muscle

Muscle tissue that is attached to the bones. This muscle is striated and under voluntary control.

Humerus

The bone found in the upper arm.

blood

The liquid that carries the needed materials for the body

Lungs

The main organ of the respiratory system.

stomach

The major organ of the digestive system where the breaking down of food happens

Respiratory system

This system has a primary organ which is lungs, the function is to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide as we breathe.

function of the kidney

To filter wastes from the blood stream that can be removed in Urine

Parietal Lobe

Touch, pressure, temperature, pain

Kidney stones

a build up of calcium filtered from the blood that blocks a tube in the kidney

moveable joint

a joint that allows full movement of the bones

pivot joint

a joint that allows movement from side to side

fixed/ immovable joint

a joint that provides no movement at all

ball-and-socket joint

a moveable joint that allows movement in many directions; formed where the rounded end of one bone fits into the socket of another bone

marrow

a soft tissue in the center of a bone where new blood cells are produced

skull

also called the cranium, protects the brain and makes up the bones in your face.

Renal artery

artery leading to the kidney

Pelvis

bowl shaped bone in your mid section of your body that helps support the digestive organs

Nerves

carries messages from the brain and spinal cord to all the parts of the body

hormones

chemical messengers in the body that are secreted from glands.

ligaments

connects bone to bone

hinge joint

joint that allows movement in only one direction

Adrenal glands

located on top of each kidney and releases adrenaline in times of stress.

femur

longest bone in the body. Found in the upper leg

Brain

main control center of the central nervous system

bones

make up the basic shape of the body and make up the framework to which the muscles are attached

liver, gallbladder, pancreas

organs that create chemicals that help the small intestines break down food

5 functions of the skeletal system

protects & supports the body, permits movement, protects internal organs, stores minerals, and produced blood cells

Bladder

stores urine

joints

the place in the skeleton where two or more bones meet

blood vessels

the tubes that transport blood around the body

Renal vein

vein leading away from kidney
