Interactions of the systems 2018 part 2 notes
- 1. Structures, Functions, and Interactions
- 2. Today I am learning about the body systems because they keep me alive by working together.
- 3. All classes were able to write the notes last week, but nothing further.
- 4. Organs: glands such as hypothalamus, thyroid, ovaries, testes Functions: Controls body functions by using chemical messages from glands Interactions: Sends growth hormones to skeletal system, releases adrenaline into the blood stream to stimulate the muscles into action.
- 8. Organs:Tonsil, Spleen,Thymus, Lymph Nodes Function: returns leaked fluids to blood vessels and helps get rid of bacteria and viruses. Interactions:White blood cells made in the bones grow into T cells in the thymus.
- 11. Organs: Skin, Hair, Nails Functions: Protects; keeps water in & foreign particles out; allows you touch; regulates temperature; gets rid of wastes (ex- sweat) Interactions:Works with the nervous system to keep you aware of your surroundings.
- 15. Structures: Large Intestines, rectum, anus Functions: Material that cannot be absorbed into the blood stream is compacted in the large intestines for elimination. Interactions:The large intestine absorbs water into the cardiovascular system for use throughout the body.
- 18. Structures: kidney, urinary bladder, urethra Functions: Blood is filtered through the kidneys to remove cell/body waste. Waste is stored in the bladder and eliminated as urine. Interactions: Cleans waste from the circulatory system.
- 23. Structures: Nose,Trachea (Wind Pipe), Lungs: Bronchi/Bronchioles, Alveoli Function: Moves oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide and water vapor from the body. Interactions: Circulatory system carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away.
- 26. Structures: Heart, blood vessels Functions: Heart pumps blood through all blood vessels. Interactions: Highway system of the body, carries food (digestive) and oxygen (respiratory) to the cells and carries waste away.
- 30. Structures:Testes (male), ovaries, and uterus (female) Function: Create a new living individual Interactions:The endocrine system regulates the hormones necessary for sexual maturity and reproduction.
