Role of organ systems Organ systems are collections of organs and tissues that perform a general function for the body. Match the following descriptions with the correct organ system. Cardiovascular system Integumentary system Skeletal system Lymphatic and immune systems Respiratory system Endocrine system Digestive system Reproductive system Urinary system Produces hormones that coordinate organ systems Digests and processes food for nutrients Protects against disease and regulates body fluids Excretes waste material and balances pH and fluid levels Provides support and protection Transports nutrients and wastes Protects the exterior of the body Produces gametes Receives stimuli from the environment and processes responses

Identify the organ system by its function as described below. 1. Maintains blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels 2. Controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses; helps control homeostasis 3. Causes movement of bones 4. Waterproof barrier that blocks the entrance of pathogens into the body and prevents the loss of water from the body 5. Transports nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide throughout the body 6. Changes food into absorbable nutrients; expels wastes 7. Regulates composition of blood by eliminating nitrogenous wastes, excess water, and minerals 8. Uses hormones to control cell function; helps control homeostasis 9. Provides framework for the body and protects body organs 10. Produces gametes (sperm and egg) 11. Returns fluid to the bloodstream and provides protection against pathogens that have entered the body

Describe an organ system. Identify the parts of the system and function of each part. Describe the Anatomy and Physiology of an Organ System The human body is made up of 11 organ systems that work with one another (interdependently). These systems include the 1. integumentary system, 2. skeletal system, 3. muscular system, 4. lymphatic system, 5. respiratory system, 6. digestive system, 7. nervous system, 8. endocrine system, 9. cardiovascular system, 10. urinary system, and 11. reproductive system. Describe the major parts (organs) of the systems and the function of each part. Describe the function of each part (organ) Eg Cardiovascular system (heart, blood vessels, blood) – the heart is cardiac muscle, 2 pumps – 4 chambers, 4 valves, and an electrical system (nerves). The function of the muscle is to propel or move the blood with the muscle action, valves, chambers, and electrical system. Then describe the other parts and their function.

Classify each of the following functions according to the major organ system that performs it: Serves as a place for attachment of muscles Accounts for actual movement of body parts Conducts sensory input from external and internal stimuli Made of hormonal glands Is attached to the skeletal system Fast-acting coordinator of many body functions Consists of different organs for males and females Protects the body parts with the aid of the muscles and skin Slow-acting coordinator of many body functions Produces sex cells Endocrine System Muscular System Nervous System Reproductive System Skeletal System
