Chapter 3 Human Body Systems ♦ KNOWLEDGE OBJECTIVES 5. Describe the primary functions of each of the eight body systems. l. Describe the anatomical position. 2. Given two or more body parts, describe their relationship using anatomical terms. 6. Give two examples of how body systems work together. 3. Identify the five body cavities and the major structures in each cavity. 7. Describe what can happen to the body if a problem occurs in one or more of the body systems. 4. Identify the eight body systems and the major structures in each system. 8. Define the key terms for this chapter. 21 ♦ OUTLINE Introduction 29 Anatomical Terms 29 Body Cavities 31 Body Systems 34 Respiratory system 34 Circulatory System 36 Nervous System 38 Musculoskeletal System 41 Integumentary System 43 Endocrine System 44 Digestive System 46 Genitourinary System 46 Interrelationships of Body Systems 50 22 ♦ KEY POINTS Definitions Body Systems 1. A collection of similar cells that performs a specific function 2. A body system that regulates and coordinates the activities of other body systems by producing chemicals that influence the activity of tissues 3. Farthest from the centre or midline 4. To breathe air out of the lungs 5. A body system that eliminates wastes and enables reproduction 6. A body system that plays a major role in temperature regulation and preventing infection Matching 7. Match each term with its definition. Write its letter on the line in front of the definition.

As you examine her, you see she is wearing a medical-alert bracelet that indicates that she is an insulin-dependent diabetic. A coworker tells you that the woman did take her insulin today but has not yet eaten, and twenty minutes ago worked out in the fitness centre. Read the case studies and answer the questions that follow. Case 3.1 While mowing her lawn, a woman runs over a piece of fence wire. The piece of wire is propelled backwards and makes a deep laceration on her lower leg. 1. Using correct medical terminology, describe the location of her injury in relation to these other body structures: 1. Diabetes is a condition that results from a problem in the system. a. Circulatory Knee: b. Integumentary Ankle: c. Endocrine 2. Is the injury anterior or posterior? d. Nervous 2. T F Most serious illnesses caused by malfunctions of this system develop slowly. 3. Is the injury on the medial or lateral side of the leg? 3. What kind of organs make up this system? 4. Which two body systems will interact initially to alert the casualty to this injury? 4. What is the primary function of these organs? a. Circulatory, respiratory b. Respiratory, musculoskeletal c. Integumentary, nervous 5. Many of these substances release their substances into the circulatory system to influence tissue activity in various parts of the body. What are these substances called? d. Nervous, respiratory 26 4. The three primary functions of the nervous system are ♦ SELF-ASSESSMENT Circle the letter of the best answer. a. Sensory, motor, and integrated. 1.
