| System- A group of organs that preforms a similar function | Body |
| An individual form of life; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts | Organisms |
| Move material around body Major Organs: Heart, blood vessels (veins arteries & capillaries) and blood (a tissue). |
Circulatory System |
| Moves blood through the body. The heart is the pump for this system. Blood flows through blood vessels. | Cardiovascular System |
| Secrets hormones & regulates body growth/development and function. Makes chemical messages. These messages help to regulate conditions inside the body. Major Organs: Adrenal glands, thyroid glands and pancreas |
Endocrine System |
| Rids the body waste | Excretory System |
| Regulates body temperature rids body waste & protections against infection, injury, ultraviolent (UV) radiation Major Organs: Skin and sweat glands |
Integumentary(Skin) System |
| Shape, aids in movement. Allows movement of body parts. It works with the Skeletal System to help you move. Major Organs: Muscles and tendons (a type of tissue) |
Muscular System |
| Controls thinking, senses and regulates homeostasis. Collects information and responds to it by sending electrical messages. This information may come from outside or inside the body. The brain is the center or the Nervous System. | Nervous System |
| Reproduces offspring The male Reproductive System- Produces sperm and delivers it to the female Reproductive System. The female Reproductive System- Produces eggs and nourishes a developing fetus. Major Organs: Ovaries or testes, vagina or penis. |
Reproductive System |
| Takes in oxygen (O2) And releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Gathers oxygen from the environment and gets rid of carbon dioxide from the body. The exchange occurs in the lungs. Major Organs: Nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli, and diaphragm. |
Respiratory System |
| Structure, support, protection stores minerals& aids in movement, produces blood cells. Made up of bones, ligaments, and cartilage. It supports the body and protects important organs. Major Organs: Bones, cartilage & ligaments (which are tissue). |
Skeletal System |
| A state of balance within the body: maintain a stable internal environment. | Homeostasis |
| Something that elicit or evoke a response in a cell, a tissue or an organism. Can be INTERNAL or EXTERNAL | Stimulus |
