19) Know the major organs in each of the 10 body systems above.
1. Endocrine- Glands, Hormones, Adrenal, Ovaries/testes, and Pancreas.
Function: A collection of glands/cells that make chemicals.
2. Skeletal- Bones, Joints, and Ligaments.
Function: To move and keep you from becoming a jelly-fish.
3. Muscular- Muscles (Smooth and Rough).
Function: To help or Guide the bones in your body.
4. Circulatory/cardiovascular- Heart, Arteries, Veins, Capillaries, and blood. Blood vessels
Function: To pump and flow blood through the body.
5. Nervous- Central nervous System is the brain and the spinal cord and Peripheral Nervous
system are the axons, dendrites, neurons (nerve cells).
Function: the body’s central command post allows the body to be able to feel pain, to use the 5
senses and to function properly.
6. Respiratory- Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchus, Lungs and Diaphragm.
Function: To have oxygen flow through the body so that you can breathe/ also to remove the carbon
dioxide. (Cellular respiration)
7. Digestive- Teeth, Mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, , Esophagus, Stomach, Liver, Gallbladder,
Pancreas, Small and Large intestine, rectum and anus.
Function: Is the breaking down of small or large molecules (food)
8. Integumentary- Nails, Skin, and Hair.
Function: A protective layer around the body. Helps maintain homeostasis.
9. Urinary- Kidneys, Ureter, Urethra, and Bladder.
Function: to remove waste from the body and the blood.
10. Immune and lymphatic- Passive/Active Immune, Anti-body Immune, and Acquired Immunity.
Tonsils, thymus, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, spleen
Function: to try to keep the body Healthy and to fight off germs. Collect excess fluids.
20) Study your human body drawings and be able to label the major systems on the body.
