Download Support and Movement

Levels of Structural Organization
Body Covering - The skin you’re in!
• Integumentary
Support and Movement – dem Bones!
• Skeletal
• Forms the external
body covering
• Protects and supports
body organs
• Protects deeper tissue
from injury
• Provides muscle
attachment for
movement
• Synthesizes vitamin D
• Location of cutaneous
nerve receptors
Support and Movement –
• Site of blood cell
formation
• Stores minerals
Integration and Coordination
feel the groove!
• Muscular
• Allows locomotion
• Maintains posture
• Produces heat
• Nervous
• Fast-acting control
system
• Responds to
internal and external
change
• Activates muscles
and glands

Integration and Coordination
• Endocrine
• Secretes regulatory
hormones
• Growth
• Reproduction
• Metabolism
Transport – the super Highways!
• Cardiovascular
• Transports materials
in body via blood
pumped by heart
• Oxygen
• Carbon dioxide
• Nutrients
• Wastes
Transport - the super highways!
• Lymphatic
• Returns fluids to blood
vessels
• Disposes of debris
Absorption and Excretion
• Digestive
• Breaks down food
• Allows for nutrient
absorption into blood
• Involved in immunity
• Eliminates indigestible
material
Absorption and Excretion
Absorption and Excretion
• Respiratory
• Keeps blood
supplied with
oxygen
• Removes carbon
dioxide
• Urinary
• Eliminates nitrogenous
wastes
• Maintains acid – base
balance
• Regulation of materials
• Water
• Electrolytes

Reproduction
Characteristics of Life
Traits shared by all organisms
• Reproductive
Movement – change in position;
• Production of
offspring
motion
Responsiveness – reaction to a change
Growth – increase in body size; no change in shape
Reproduction – production
of new organisms and new cells
Respiration – obtaining
oxygen; removing
carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods
Characteristics of Life
Traits shared by all organisms
Digestion – breakdown of food substances into simpler
forms
Absorption – passage of substances through
membranes and into body fluids
Examples of
selected
interrelationships
among body
organ systems.
Circulation – movement of substances in body fluids
Assimilation – changing of absorbed substances into
chemically different forms
Excretion – removal of wastes produced by metabolic
reactions
