give the 5 levels of organisation.
chemical, cellular,
tissue
,
organ
, system
name
the 11 body systems.
integument, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune, endocrine, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive.
integumentary
. give 5 components.
skin,
hair
,
nails
, sweat glands and oil glands
give 5 functions of the integumentary system.
protection,
temperature
regulation, waste elimination, helps make
vitamin D
and detects sensations- hot, cold, touch, pain.
skeletal system. give 3 component:
bones
,
joints
, cartilage.
give
4
functions of skeletal:
support and protection, muscle attachments, house cells that produce blood cells and store minerals and lipids
muscular. give 1 component:
skeletal
muscle
give 3 functions of skeletal muscle systesm:
allows
movement
, stabilises body position (posture), generates
heat.
cardiovascular system. give 3 components:
blood
,
heart
, blood vessels.
give 5 functions of cardiovascular:
transports substances eg: gases,
nutrients
, waste,
hormones-
, temp regulation, osmoregulation, defence against disease, repair of tissues
lymphatic and immune system. give 7 components:
lymphatic fluid, lymphatic vessels and nodes,
bone marrow
,
spleen
, thymus and tonsils.
give 3 functions of lymph system:
returns proteins and fluid to blood, carries
lipid
from
GI tract
to blood, protects against disease and cancer.
endocrine
system. give 1 component and examples:
hormone
producing
glands
eg: hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, ovaries, testes
give 2 functions of endocrine:
coordinates body function, releases
hormones
from
glands
to effect target organs.
nervous system. give 4 components:
brain,
spinal cord
, nerves,
special sense organs
eg: eyes and ears.
give
3 functions of NS:
generate nerve impulses to
regulate
body activity, detect stimuli and responds, initiates muscle contraction or gland
secretion.
respiratory
system. give 7 components:
lungs
,
air passages
, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchioles, alveoli.
give 3 functions of respiratory:
gaseous exchange, regulates
acid base balance
of body fluids, enables sound production when air passes through
vocal cords.
digestive system. give 2 main components and their organs:
organs of GI tract:
mouth
, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach,
small
and large intestine.
accessory organs: salivary glands,
gall bladder
,
liver
, pancreas.
3 functions of digestive system:
physical and chemical food breakdown, absorbs
nutrients
, eliminates
solid
waste
urinary system. give 4 components:
kidneys
, ureters,
bladder
, urethra.
give 5 functions of the urinary system:
produce,
store
and
eliminate
urine
eliminates
metabolic
waste
regulates
volume
and
chemical
composition of the blood
helps maintain the
acid base balance
of the body fluids
regulates
production
of red blood cells.
reproductive
system. give 4 female and
4
male components:
female
ovaries, uterus,
fallopian tubes
,
vagina.
male
testes, epididymus,
vas deferens
,
penis
give
3 functions of reproductive system:
gamete
production,
hormone
release, regulate reproduction and associated body changes during puberty.
tissue types. name the 4 basic tissue types:
epithelial
connective
muscle
nervous
name
the 3 layers of tissues:
inside-
outside-
middle-
in-
endoderm
out-
ectoderm
middle-
mesoderm
where do they
tissues
connect
cell junctions. give 5 different types:
tight, adherens, desmosome,
hemidesmosome
,
gap
tight junction. give 3 labels:
adjacent membrane
, intercellular space, strands of
transmembrane proteins.
give tight junction function:
transmembrane proteins form
tight
, impermeable seal to prevent
water
and other small molecule movement.
adherens
junction. give 5 labels:
give
adherens junction function:
mechanical role, hold together.
cadherin
in
intermembrane
space, spreads and stress felt through whole tissue.
desmosome
function. give 5 labels:
adjacent plasma membranes intercellular spaceplaquetransmembrane glycoprotein-
cadherinintermediate
filament-
keratin
give desmosome function:
mechanical
role, similar to adherens, like spots of attachment. connected to
desmosome
junction, connect adjacent cells.
hemidesmosome. give 5 labels:
intermediate filament-
keratin
plaque
transmembrane glycoprotein-
integrin-
in
extracellular
space
plasms membrane
basement
membrane
give hemidesmosome function:
secure
cells to
basement
membrane.
gap
junction. give 3 labels:
adjacent plasma membranes
connexons-
composed of
connexins
gap
between
cells
give
function of gap junction:
individual proteins. connexins
join to adjacent
connexins
forming a pore in between allowed transmission of electrical signals.
tissues.
give 4
types
:
nervous
muscle
epithelial
connective
nervous
tissue. give function.
detects internal and
external
changes in conditions and acts to maintain
homeostasis.
