Maintains organism’s homeostasis by removing
blood of liquid waste
Central Nervous System
Function: Regulates vital functions such as
heart rate, breathing, and hormones
Respiratory System
Function: Used to exchange carbon dioxide for
oxygen.
Circulatory System
Function: Transports oxygen to the cells and
carries carbon dioxide away from the cells
Digestive System
Function: Absorbs nutrients into the blood
stream.
Alveoli
Function: The site inside of the lungs where
oxygen and carbon dioxide are physically
exchanged. (inflatable sacs)
Integumentary System
Function: Removes waste through perspiration
and protects from injury, infection, and UV
rays.
Endocrine System
Function: releases chemicals into your
bloodstream that control body growth,
reproduction, and metabolism.
Second Messenger System
Endocrine System because it is slower than the
nervous system.
Peripheral Nervous System
Carries information toward the central nervous
system and carries impulses away from the CNS.
Skeletal System
Used as the protection for the internal organs
and is the framework for the body.
Joints
Connect bone to bone by ligaments.
Tendons
Connect bone to muscle.
Muscular System
Actin and myosin contract to move your
muscles.
Voluntary Muscles
Muscles that you can control such as the arms,
legs, hands, and face.
Involuntary Muscles
Muscles that you cannot control including the
stomach, heart, and intestines.
Reproductive System
Used to produce gametes.
Immune/Lymphatic
Fights off diseases caused by pathogens.
Hemoglobin
A red protein on the red blood cell that
carries oxygen.
Red Blood Cell
Carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells in
the body. Also carries the carbon dioxide
back to the lungs to exhale.
Palisade Cells
Contains a high concentration of chloroplasts
to maximize photosynthesis.
Xylem
Transports water/ minerals up the stem from
the soil.
Root Hair Cell
Increases the amount of surface area the roots
have to absorb water and minerals.
Phloem
Transports food up and down the plant.
Epithelial Cells
The cells of the integumentary system.
Neurons
The cells of the nervous system.
Muscle Cells
The cells of the muscular system.
White blood cells
The cells of the immune/lymphatic system.
