Anatomy: Unit 1

structures of the body, where they are located and what they are made out of

the function of the structures in the body

smallest living thing

many of the same type of cell performing a similar function

many different tissue types performing the same function as a whole

many different organs working together for a similar function

many organ systems working together

system responsible for producing offspring, includes the ovaries, testes, uterus, vagina, penis

system responsible for transporting gases and nutrients to cells by the heart and blood vessels

system responsible for transporting lost fluid back to the blood vessels and fighting infections with the tonsils, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph vessels and nodes.

system responsible for regulation of the other systems by secreting hormones by the pituitary, thyroid, pineal, adrenal and other glands.

system responsible for breaking down the food we eat in the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines.

system responsible for our first line of defense against pathogens and damage with the skin, hair, nails, sweat and oil glands.

system responsible for movement with the muscles and tendons.

system responsible for support, protection, blood cell production, movement and calcium storage in the bones and ligaments.

system responsible for filtering the blood and secreting liquid waste through the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.

system responsible for regulating other systems with the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

system responsible for gas exchange with the diaphragm, lungs, trachea, larynx and pharynx.

epithelial tissue that is found in the lining of the respiratory and digestive systems

epithelial tissue that is found in the kidney tubules, ducts and small glands as well as the surface of the ovaries

epithelial tissue that is found in the epidermis of the skin, vagina, esophagus and the mouth

epithelial tissue that is found in the air sacs of the respiratory system and the lining of blood and lymph vessels

epithelial tissue that is found in the urethra and lining of the urinary bladder
