Using the information on each card, sort them into which system they belong to . For Sorting, click on each card and chose the system from the drop down menu. Circulatory System Transport materials to and from cells Organs: Heart, Veins, Arteries, Capillaries, Red blood cells Respiratory System Organs: Nose, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli, lungs Function:Takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide and water Skeletal System Structure: Bones, Cartilage, ligaments Function:1. protects organs 2. provides shape, support 3. stores materials (fats, minerals) 4. produces blood cells 5. allows movement Muscular System Types: Cardiac muscle, Smooth muscle, Skeletal muscle, tendons Function:Allows for movement by contracting Digestive System Organs: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, Sm. Intestine, Lg. intestine, rectum, anus, Salivary glands, pancreas, liver, gall bladder Function: 1. take in food (ingestion) 2. digest food into smaller molecules and absorb nutrients 3. remove indigestible food from body (feces) Excretory System Organs: Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, Urethra, Lungs, Skin – sweat glands Liver (produces urea) Function:1. removes waste products from cellular metabolism (urea, water, CO2) 2. filters blood Reproductive System Organs: Ovaries *produce eggs Testes *produce sperm Function:Allows organisms to reproduce which prevents their species from becoming extinct. Integumentary System Structure: SKIN *Epidermis *Dermis - sweat gland - sebaceous gland (oil) - hair follicle - blood vessels - nerves Function:1. barrier against Infection (1st line of defense) 2. helps regulate body temp. 3. removes excretory waste (urea, water) 4. protects against sun’s UV rays 5. produces vitamin D Nervous System Organs: Brain, Spinal cord, Nerves, Nerve cells = neurons hypothalamus Function:1. gathers and interprets information 2. responds to information 3. helps maintain homeostasis Endocrine system Organs: Glands *Hypothalamus *Pituitary *Thyroid *Thymus *Adrenal *Pancreas *Ovaries *Testes Glands produce Hormones Function:Regulates body activities using hormones.
