Body System Checklist

Circulatory System
• Major functions of circulatory system
Delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and take away wastes. the heart pumps oxygenated and
deoxygenated blood on different.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - heart, artery, vein, capillary - and list the function(s) of
each.
Heart-organ that pumps blood throughout the body, supplying the oxygen and nutrients to
the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes. Artery-helps the heart pumping blood.
Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues. Veins-part of the circulatory system. It
returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart after arteries carry blood out. Capillaries-bring
nutrients and oxygen to tissues and remove waste products.

• Describe each of the components of blood- red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, &
plasma
Red Blood Cells-remove carbon dioxide from your body, transports it the lungs for you to exhale,
carries oxygen. White Blood Cells-the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the
body against diseases. Platelets-reacts to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping and initiating
a blood clot. Plasma-contains proteins that help blood to clot, transport substances through the
blood.
• Describe the path blood travels through your body
Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying
oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from
your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. Use 2 examples.
1. w/respiratory – deliver O2 from lungs to cells and drop off CO2 from cells to lungs
2. w/digestive – absorb and deliver digested nutrients to cella
• Describe two diseases associated with your body system
Chronic disease and viruses.
Digestive System
• Major functions of digestive system
The two major functions of the digestive system is digestion and absorption.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver,
pancreas, and large intestine - and list the function(s) of each.
Mouth-chewing breaks the food into pieces. Esophagus- makes food and liquids that have
swallowed into the pharynx to reach the stomach. Stomach- the stomach's acid and enzymes that
digest food. ​The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The
pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small
intestine. Small intestine-absorption of nutrients and minerals from food. Liver-makes proteins and
blood clotting factors, manufacturing triglycerides and cholesterol, glycogen synthesis. Pancreas-helps
in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar. Large intestine-absorb water from
the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body.

• Describe the path food travels throughout the digestive system.


It takes the food we ingest , breaks it down mechanically and chemically in the mouth and
stomach. Then it absorbs nutrients, fats, proteins and water in the intestines before eliminating the
waste through the rectum​.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. Use 2 examples.
w/circulatory – absorb & deliver the digested nutrients to the cells
w/muscular – control the contractions of many of the digestive organs to pass food along
Endocrine System
• Major functions of endocrine system
The endo system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical
substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs.
• Describe what hormones are and what they do
Hormones regulate the body’s growth, metabolism and chemical process of the body, an
dsexual development and function.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, thyroid, parathyroid,
adrenals, pancreas, ovaries, and testes - and list the function(s) of each.

• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. Use at least 2 examples.
1. w/circulatory – transports hormones to target organs
2. w/nervous – maintain homeostasis, hormone release
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.

Excretory System
• Major functions of excretory system
Removes waste products from cellular metabolism . Filters blood.
• Diagram that includes the major parts - lungs, kidneys, urinary bladder, ureter, urethra, liver,
and skin - and list the function(s) of each.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.
1. w/circulatory – filters waste out of blood 2. w/lungs – removes excretory waste
• Find 5 fun facts about your body system.
The largest bone in the human body is the femur. ...

● Messages from the human brain travel along nerves at up to 200 miles an hour (322 km/h). ...
● In an adult human, 25% of their bones are in the feet. ...
● The gluteus maximus is the body's largest muscle. ...
● A human's ears and nose never stop growing​.

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.

Muscular System
• Major functions of muscular system
Allows for movement by contracting
• Describe the function and locations of each type of muscle – skeletal muscle, smooth muscle,
and cardiac muscle

• Diagram that includes the major muscles in the body - biceps, oblique abdominis, sartorius,
deltoid, orbicularis oculi, sternomastoid, gastrocnemius, pectoral, temporalis, gluteus maximus,
quadriceps, tibialis, masseter, rectus abdominis, and triceps

• Describe how muscles work in pairs to make parts of the body move using
the biceps and triceps as an example.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.
w/skeletal – allow movement 2. w/digestive – allow organs to contract to push food through
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.
Nervous System
• Description and major functions of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
gathers and interprets information
• Diagram that includes the major parts - brain, spinal cord, nerves, and neurons - and list the
function(s) of each.

• Describe the path a nerve impulse travels throughout your body from stimulus to response.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.
Controls all other systems Hypothalamus – maintains homeostasis by working with all systems
• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.

Respiratory System
• Major functions of respiratory system

• Diagram that includes the major parts - trachea, lungs, diaphragm, epiglottis, larynx, vocal cords
- and list the function(s) of each.

• Describe the “breathing” process.


• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.

Skeletal System
• Major functions of skeletal system
. protects organs 2. provides shape, support
• Diagram that includes the major parts -bones, ligaments, and tendon - and list the function(s) of
each. NOTE: Your diagram should also include the following bones in the body: cranium, clavicle,
humerus, scapula, sternum, rib, vertebra, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, pelvis (may list
parts), femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, and metatarsals.

What is homeostasis? Why is it important?

Answer:​ Humans' internal body temperature is a great example of homeostasis. When an


individual is healthy, his or her body temperature retains a temperature 98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit. Cells depend on the body environment to live and function. Homeostasis keeps the
body environment under control and keeps the conditions right for cells to live and function.
Without the right body conditions, certain processes (eg osmosis) and proteins (eg enzymes) will
not function properly.
