Hint
Answer
Organ Systems
Provides protection, regulates body temperature, site of cutaneous receptors, synthesizes vitamin D, prevents water loss
integumentary
Provides support and protection, site of hemopoiesis (blood cell production), stores calcium and phosphorus, sites for muscle attachments.
skeletal
produces body movement, generates heat when muscles contract
muscular
A regulatory system that controls body movement, responds to stimuli, and helps control all other systems of the body. Also responsible for consciousness, intelligence, memory.
nervous
Consists of glands and cell clusters that secrete hormones, some of which regulate body and cellular growth, chemical levels in the body, and reproductive functions.
endocrine
Consists of the heart (a pump), blood, and blood vessels; the heart moves blood through blood vessels in order to distribute hormones, nutrients, and gases, and pick up waste products.
cardiovascular
Transports and filters lymph (interstitial fluid transported through lymph vessels) and initiates immune system when necessary
lymphatic
Responsible for the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between blood and air in the lungs
respiratory
Mechanically and chemically digests food materials, absorbs nutrients, and expels waste products
digestive
Filters the blood and removes waste products in the form of urine from the body
urinary
Produces female sex cells (oocytes) and female hormones (estrogen, progesterone, etc.), receives sperm from male, site of fertilization of oocyte, site of growth and development of embryo and fetus
female reproductive
Produces male sex cells (sperm) and male hormones (testosterone), transfers sperm to female
male reproductive
