Cards in this deck (17)
- 1Functions of Skeletal System (4)1. Movement
2. Support + Protection for muscles + organs
3. Reservoir of calcium in bones
4. Production of red blood cells in bone marrow - 2Components of Skeletal System (4)1. Bones
2. Cartilage (connective tissue at end of bones - protects)
3. Ligaments (elastic structures connecting bones - allow movement).
4. Tendons (connect bone to muscles) - 3Functions of Muscular System (5)1. Generate force for movement of bones
2. Breathing
3. Posture
4. Facial Expression
5. Temperature Regulation - 4Components of Muscular System (2)1. Skeletal Muscles - connects nervous system to skeletal system + often work in pairs e.g. bicep + tricep
2. Tendons - transmit force from muscle to bone - 5Function of Endocrine System (1)Secretion of hormones within the body for control + coordination of body systems
- 6Components of Endocrine System (8)1. Hypothalamus
2. Pituitary Gland
3. Pineal Gland
4. Thyroid + Parathyroid Glands
5. Thymus
6. Adrenal Glands
7. Pancreas
8. Gonads - 7Functions of Digestive System (3)1. Absorption of water + ions
2. Break down of eaten materials into nutrient molecules
3. Elimination of undigested residue - 8Components of Digestive System (7)1. Mouth
2. Pharynx
3. Oesophagus
4. Stomach
5. Small Intestine
6. Large Intestine
7. Anus - 9Accessory Organs of Digestive System (4)1. Salivary Glands
2. Pancreas
3. Liver
4. Gall Bladder - 10Function of Respiratory System (1)Entry + exit of air allowing the body to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide
- 11Components of Respiratory System (5)1. Nose/Mouth
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx
4. Trachea
5. Lungs - bronchi + bronchiole trees - 12Functions of Cardiovascular System (3)1. Transport of oxygen, nutrients, ions, proteins, hormones + other signalling molecules.
2. Transport of waste products including carbon dioxide.
3. Maintenance of fluid volume, pH + temperature through homeostasis. - 13Components of Cardiovascular System (3)1. Blood
2. Heart
3. Vessels of the circulatory system (capillaries, veins + arteries) - 14Function of Nervous System (1)Transmission of signals to different parts of body to coordinate function
- 15Central Nervous System (CNS)Brain + Spinal cord
Processes incoming information + initiates a response - 16Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)Cranial nerves + Spinal nerves
Carries sensory information to the CNS + motor output from the CNS to initiate a response - 172 types of response from the Nervous System1. Somatic = voluntary detection + movement
2. Autonomic = Involuntary - monitors and regulates changes in the body's internal environment
