Wacky, Wonderful Body Systems By Tim Barbara Period 1
Skeletal System Bones- a tissue that makes up the skeleton, consisting of bone marrow Cartilage- a firm connective tissue Joints- a place where bones meet Ligaments- a fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones
The skeletal system works with the respiratory system by protecting most of the vital organs. The skeletal system also works with circulatory system by helping to create redblood cells to maintain the amount of blood in the body. The function of the skeletal system is to give shape to the creature it belongs to and protects parts of the body.
A pathogen that can effect the skeletal system is Pagets Disease. Pagets Disease can cause the bones to enlarge and misshapen.
Muscular System The muscular system uses the skeletal system as leverage to move body parts. The muscular system also works with the digestive system to push food along. Thus, creating homeostasis.
The function of the muscular system is to control movement and some bodily functions. A pathogen that affects the muscular system is myasthenia gravis it causes the immune system cells to attack muscle cells causing body faitigue.
Cardiac Muscle- helps the heat pump blood through the body Skeletal Muscle- bones that give the muscle support and help them move Smooth Musclesmooth muscles are slow and contract to move things along Tendons- a strong rope like fibrous tissue that connects muscle to another muscle or bone
Circulatory System atrium- one of the two chambers in the heart. The atrium receives blood flowing in from the veins and passes it to the respective ventricles below ventricles- one of the two lower chambers of the heart. Itreceives blood flowing from the atrium and pumps it into the arteries to the lungs then body capillaries- the narrowest microscopic blood vessels with walls one cell thick to allow the exchange of gases and blood products to tissues and organs
Viens- A blood vessel red blood cells- the tiniest cells in that carries blood that is the blood that contains hemoglobin to low in oxygen content from the body back to the carry oxygen heart Heart- the viscus of blood- the circulating fluid plasma cardiac muscle that and suspended formed elements, maintains the circulation such as red blood cells, white blood of the blood. cells and platelets in the vascular system of humans and other vertebrates
The function of the circulatory system is to carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and remove waste products.
The circulatory system works with the respiratory system by moving oxygen and glucose around the body for the cells. It also removes waste so they can be disposed by the body. The circulatory system also works with the muscular system by pumping blood through the body to carry oxygen to the muscles. Thus, creating homeostasis. A pathogen that affects the circulatory system is anemia. Anemia can cause people to feel tired weak and lightheaded because, their cells aren't getting enough oxygen. Ateries- blood vessel that conveys blood from the heart to any part of the body.
Respiratory System The function of the respiratory system is to supply the body with oxygen through breathing.
A pathogen that affects the respiratory system is tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can cause lesions or damaged areas in the lungs. pharynx- throat area that leads from the nose and mouth to the esophagus bronchi- the larger airways in the chest that branches from the base of the trachea larynx- voice box alveoli- microscopic bubble, shaped air sacs in the lungs where oxygen passes from air into the blood
The respiratory system works with the nervous system by providing oxygen to the brain and remove carbon dioxide and water that the brain cells produced as waste products. The respiratory system works with the muscular system by providing oxygen to the muscles so they can work properly. It also remove water and carbon dioxide at the muscles produce as waste products.
Digestive System
Saliva- digestive juice made by the salivary glands in the mouth
Esophagus- a long, straight tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach Stomach- a sac like, digestive organ that is between the esophagus and the small intestine. It breaks down food by the action of muscles, enzymes, and acids Pancreas- an abdominal organ that produces insulin and other hormones Liver- the largest organ in the body; it makes bile, stores and filters blood, stores excess sugars, and stores glycogen Small intestine- composed of three sections: duodenum, jejunum and ileum. All are involved in the absorption of nutrients
The function of the digestive system is to break down food to the body can make use of the chemicals the food contains. A pathogen in that affects the digestive system is Salmonella. Salmonella infects the intestines and causes diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. The digestive system works with the circulatory system by providing a heart with nutrients to the heart and keep beating. The digestive system also works with the respiratory system by providing the diaphragm which nutrients in order to facilitate breating. It is the equation for respiration, glucose + oxygen=water, carbon dioxide, and energy. Thus, creating homeostasis. Large intestine- the cecum, colon, and rectum collectively Mouth- the oral cavity located at the upper end of the alimentary canal that opens to the outside at the lips and empties into the throat at the rear, and containing structures for mastication and tasting especially in higher vertebrates.
Nervous System The function of the nervous system is essential for thoughts, memories, and other mental activities, as well as controlling movement during physical activities.
The nervous system works with the musculoskeletal system by providing protection for impulse is sent down through the body from the brain. It also protects the brain and spinal cord. The nervous system also works at the digestive system by, controlling in the mendulla which controls involuntary muscle movement digestion. Thus, creating homeostasis.
PNS- the system of nerves that branch from the brain and spinal cords.
A pathogen that affects the nervous system is cerebral malaria. Symptoms include seizures and commas. It is caused by infected mosquitoes.
CNS- the brain and spinal cord nerves- cord like tissue, made to carry tiny pulses of electricity or nerves through the body Spinal cord- The main nerve, extending down from the base of the brain on longer inside of the backbone. Brain- an organ of soft nervous tissue contained in the skull of vertebrates, functioning as the coordinating center of sensation and intellectual and nervous activity.
