Organ Systems 3.1
 Distinguish between cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems
 Be able to identify the function and identify organs in the: digestive, circulatory, respiratory,
reproductive, excretory, locomotion, endocrine and nervous system [See Table 1, p. 165]
 Name 3 diagnostic tools that are used to monitor organs.
Digestive System 3.5
 Anatomy: mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, epiglottis, esophagus, stomach, small intestine
(including how internal structure increases surface area), large intestine, liver, pancreas, rectum,
anus. [See Figure 2, p. 183]
 Physiology: the four steps of food processing (ingestion, digestion, absorption, egestion);
peristalsis, mechanical (physical) digestion and chemical digestion.
 What causes a gastric ulcer?
Circulatory System (3.9)
 Anatomy: -heart, septum, atrium, ventricles, valves, aorta, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary
veins, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava
 Physiology: - the functions of veins (carrying blood to heart), arteries (carrying blood away from
heart), capillaries (exchange of gases, nutrients, etc.); systemic circuit vs. pulmonary circuit;
blood components (45% red blood cells), less than 1% white blood cells, 55% plasma); heart
beat (systole, diastole)
Respiratory System (3.15)
 Anatomy: -nasal cavity (nose), oral cavity (mouth), trachea, larynx, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
 Physiology:-movement of diaphragm and rib cage (intercostal muscles) during inspiration and
expiration.
Activity: Body Measurements Activity

 What are two ways to measure or estimate your body fat?
 What are the following instruments used to measure: stethoscope, sphygmomanometer,
spirometer?
