Pregunta Respuesta
Functions of Skeletal System (4) 1. Movement 2. Support + Protection for muscles + organs 3. Reservoir of calcium in bones 4. Production of red blood cells in bone marrow
Components of Skeletal System (4) 1. Bones 2. Cartilage (connective tissue at end of bones - protects) 3. Ligaments (elastic structures connecting bones - allow movement). 4. Tendons (connect bone to muscles)
Functions of Muscular System (5) 1. Generate force for movement of bones 2. Breathing 3. Posture 4. Facial Expression 5. Temperature Regulation
Components of Muscular System (2) 1. Skeletal Muscles - connects nervous system to skeletal system + often work in pairs e.g. bicep + tricep 2. Tendons - transmit force from muscle to bone
Function of Endocrine System (1) Secretion of hormones within the body for control + coordination of body systems
Components of Endocrine System (8) 1. Hypothalamus 2. Pituitary Gland 3. Pineal Gland 4. Thyroid + Parathyroid Glands 5. Thymus 6. Adrenal Glands 7. Pancreas 8. Gonads
Functions of Digestive System (3) 1. Absorption of water + ions 2. Break down of eaten materials into nutrient molecules 3. Elimination of undigested residue
Components of Digestive System (7) 1. Mouth 2. Pharynx 3. Oesophagus 4. Stomach 5. Small Intestine 6. Large Intestine 7. Anus
Accessory Organs of Digestive System (4) 1. Salivary Glands 2. Pancreas 3. Liver 4. Gall Bladder
Function of Respiratory System (1) Entry + exit of air allowing the body to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide
Components of Respiratory System (5) 1. Nose/Mouth 2. Pharynx 3. Larynx 4. Trachea 5. Lungs - bronchi + bronchiole trees
Functions of Cardiovascular System (3) 1. Transport of oxygen, nutrients, ions, proteins, hormones + other signalling molecules. 2. Transport of waste products including carbon dioxide. 3. Maintenance of fluid volume, pH + temperature through homeostasis.
Components of Cardiovascular System (3) 1. Blood 2. Heart 3. Vessels of the circulatory system (capillaries, veins + arteries)
Function of Nervous System (1) Transmission of signals to different parts of body to coordinate function
Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain + Spinal cord Processes incoming information + initiates a response
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Cranial nerves + Spinal nerves Carries sensory information to the CNS + motor output from the CNS to initiate a response
2 types of response from the Nervous System 1. Somatic = voluntary detection + movement 2. Autonomic = Involuntary - monitors and regulates changes in the body's internal environment
