Urinary System
function of urinary system
kidneys
nephrons
ureter
urine
Maintains the correct balance of salts
and water
function of urinary system
This system removes metabolic,
nitrogen-containing wastes, such as
function of the urinary system
urea, from the body in the form of urine
cleans the blood
function of urinary system
bean-shaped organs that clean the blood kidneys
liquid produced by the urinary system
urine
waste from the kidneys leaves through
this structure
ureter
the part of the kidney that filters blood
nephrons
tiny structures within the kidney that
remove harmful substances from the
body
nephrons
blood runs through this organ 350 times kidneys
a day
fluid found in the urinary bladder
urine
urine travels from each kidney to the
urinary bladder through this
ureter
Carries materials to and from your cells
Function of cardiovascular system
Carries oxygen to your cells
Function of cardiovascular system
smallest blood vessel
capillaries
directs blood away from the heart
arteries
directs blood to the heart
veins
this is a muscular organ about the size
of your fist
heart
cleaned and filtered blood from the
kidney leave through this
vein
blood enters the kidney through this
artery
contains oxygen-rich blood
arteries
valves prevent blood from flowing
backwards in these structures
veins
contains oxygen-poor blood
veins
blood cells must pass through this
structure single file
capillaries
Located in the center of your chest
cavity and is very muscular
heart
Pumps blood
heart
This structure is designed to allow
nutrients and oxygen to easily diffuse
through the walls
capillaries
surrounds aveoli
capillaries
These vessels are thick walled to handle arteries
the pressure of blood as it is pumped
out by the heart
collection of organs and vessels that return
fluid that leaks out of the bloodstream
function of lymphatic system
fluid that leaks out of your blood vessels this
fluid also bathes the cells
lymph
releases white blood cells
thymus or spleen
filters blood AND releases white blood cells
spleen
bean-shaped organs found throughout your
body
lymph nodes
lymphatic tissue found in your nasal cavity,
inside your throat and at the back of your
tongue
tonsils
this system helps fight pathogens
function of lymphatic system
a function of this system is to prevent
diseases such as elephantiasis
function of lymphatic system
largest lymph organ
spleen
allows you to breathe
function of respiratory system
takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide
function of respiratory system
enriches (adds) oxygen to blood
function of respiratory system
the pharynx branches into two tubes that lead
to either of these organs
stomach or lungs
tiny sacs located in the lung
alveoli
air passes from the nose into this structure
pharynx
contains the vocal cords
larynx
also called the windpipe
trachea
this structure splits at the trachea to connect
to the lungs
bronchi
air moves into this organ when the
diaphragm contracts or moves down
lungs
the airway that connects the larynx to the
lungs
trachea
vibration of the vocal cords by air in this
structure produces sound
larynx
the pharynx branches off into two tubes
esophagus or larynx
pneumonia occurs when pathogens grow
inside this structure
bronchioles and alveoli
emphysema and lung cancer affect the
function of this system
cardiovascular or respiratory
this system digests food
function of digestive system
breaks down food for the body to use as function of digestive system
nutrients
located between the stomach and small pancreas
intestine and can neutralize the acid in
chyme
makes juices that contain digestive
enzymes and contains bicarbonate that
neurtralizes the acid in chyme
pancreas
makes green bile which is used in fat
digestion
liver
makes green bile and makes cholesterol
for cell membranes
liver
stores nutrients and breaks down toxic
substances in the blood
liver
a small bag-like organ that stores bile
gall bladder
no digestion occurs in this part of the
digestive system
large intestine
acts like a trash compactor for the
digestive system
large intestine
chyme is released into this organ where
chemical digestion takes place
small intestine
if this organ was stretched out it would
be larger than a tennis court
small intestine
this organ contains villi which are
nutrient absorbing cells
small intestine
this is a bag-like muscular structure that stomach
is responsible for breaking down food
this organ is connected to the
esophagus and is responsible for
breaking down food
stomach
a muscular bag-like structure that
produces a large amount of acid for
food digestion
stomach
this structure connects the pharynx to
the stomach
esophagus
contains enzymes that starts chemical
digestion in your mouth
saliva
rhythmic contraction called peristalsis
occurs in this structure to force food
into the stomach
esophagus
this liquid mixes with food in your
mouth to start digesting food
saliva
