Organs and Organ Systems, Anatomy and Phsyiology
Cardiovascular System
Primary function is the transportation of blood throughout the body. Consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
Muscular System
Primary function is to allow locomotion. Muscles that attach to the skeletal system.
Digestive System
Primary function is to break down ingested foods. Consists of oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and other accessory structures such as teeth, salivary glands, liver and pancreas.
Urinary System
Primary function is to get rid of waste from the body. Consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Reproductive System
Primary function is to perpetuate the species. Consists of testes, ovaries ETC.
Lymphatic/Immune System
Primary function is to pick up leaked fluid from the blood vessels and returns it to the blood as well as cleaning blood of pathogens. Houses lymphocytes. Consists of Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, tonsils, and lymphoid tissue.
Integumentary System
Protects deeper organs from damage and is composed of skin.
Chemical -> Cellular -> Tissue -> Organ -> Organ System -> Organism
