    • Nervous
    • Endocrine
    • Cardiovascular
    • Lymphatic
    • Respiratory
    • Digestive

  • What is Anatomy?
    Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts. Examples include dissection and imaging techniques.
  • What is Physiology?
    Physiology is the study of how the body and its parts function. Examples include studying organ function and cellular processes.
  • What is the relationship between Anatomy and Physiology?
    Anatomy describes the structure of body parts, while Physiology explains how those parts function and work together.
  • What are the levels of organization in living things, in order?
    Chemical > Cellular > Tissue > Organ > Organ system > Organism
  • What are the 8 necessary life functions?
    • Maintaining boundaries
    • Movement
    • Responsiveness
    • Digestion
    • Metabolism
    • Excretion
    • Reproduction
    • Growth
  • What are the 5 essential life needs?
    • Nutrients
    • Oxygen
    • Water
    • Normal body temperature
    • Appropriate atmospheric pressure
  • Name the major parts of the Integumentary system.
    Skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands.
  • What is the primary function of the Skeletal system?
    Supports the body, protects organs, and provides a framework for muscles.
  • What does the Muscular system do?
    Allows movement, maintains posture, and produces heat.
  • What is the role of the Nervous system?
    Controls body activities with electrical signals and responds to stimuli.
  • What does the Endocrine system regulate?
    Secretes hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
  • What is the function of the Cardiovascular system?
    Transports blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes throughout the body.
  • What does the Lymphatic system do?
    Returns leaked fluids to blood and helps defend against infection.
  • What is the main function of the Respiratory system?
    Supplies oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide.
  • What is the role of the Digestive system?
    Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.
  • What does the Urinary system do?
    Removes waste from blood and maintains water and electrolyte balance.
  • What is the function of the Reproductive system?
    Produces offspring and sex hormones.
  • Define metabolism.
    All chemical reactions in the body that build up or break down substances.
  • What does maintaining boundaries mean in life functions?
    Keeping internal environment distinct from the external environment, e.g., skin.
