  Bones, associated cartilages, ligaments, joints.
• What is the primary function of the muscular system?

  Produces body movements, maintains posture, produces body heat.
• What does the nervous system control?

  Detects sensations and controls movements, physiological processes, and intellectual functions.
• What is the role of the endocrine system?

  Influences metabolism, growth, and reproduction through hormone secretion.
• What does the cardiovascular system transport?

  Nutrients, waste products, gases, and hormones throughout the body.
• What is the function of the lymphatic system?


  Removes foreign substances from the blood and lymph, combats disease, maintains tissue fluid balance, absorbs dietary fats.
• What is the primary function of the respiratory system?

  Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air, regulates blood pH.
• What does the digestive system do?

  Performs the mechanical and chemical processes of digestion, absorption of nutrients, elimination of wastes.
• What is the function of the urinary system?

  Removes waste products from the blood and regulates blood pH, ion balance, and water balance.
• What is the role of the reproductive system?

  Produces oocytes for females and sperm cells for males for reproduction and hormones that influence sexual functions and behaviors.
• What are the 6 essential characteristics of life?

  1. Organization
  2. Metabolism
  3. Responsiveness
  4. Growth
  5. Development
  6. Reproduction
• What does homeostasis refer to?

  The condition in which body functions, body fluids, and other factors of the internal environment are maintained within a range of values suitable to support life.
• What is a negative feedback mechanism?

  A mechanism that regulates most systems of the body by making any deviation from the set point smaller or resisted.
• What is a positive feedback mechanism?

  A mechanism that occurs when the initial stimulus further stimulates the response.
• What is the anatomical position?

  • Person standing upright
  • Face directed forward
  • Upper limbs hanging to the sides
  • Palms facing forward
• What are the planes of the body?

• What are the sections of the body?

  • Longitudinal: Cut along the length of the organ
  • Transverse/Cross Section: Cut completely through an organ
  • Oblique: Cut made diagonally across the long axis
• What are the trunk cavities?

  • Thoracic Cavity: Surrounded by rib cage, separated from abdominal cavity by diaphragm
  • Abdominal Cavity: Contains stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys
  • Pelvic Cavity: Contains urinary bladder, part of large intestine, internal reproductive organs
• What are the types of serous membranes?

  • Visceral: In contact with the organ/s
  • Parietal: In contact with the walls of the cavity
