digestive system - ANS comprised of the mouth stomach intestines. uses enzymes to break down foot
that we eat to release it into bloodstream and absorbed into cells. rids body of undigested food that
don't enter bloodstream in stool.
respiratory system - ANS nose mouth trachea lungs. gas exchange and pH regulation. removes CO2 from
blood and exchanges for O2
circulatory system - ANS made up of heart blood vessels lymphatics blood cells. internal transport, pH
maintenance temperature stability. delivers nutrition and oxygen to cells and carries waste products and
CO2 away from cells.
immune system - ANS defense system protects from foreign substances or particles when exposed.
white blood cells and lymph nodes. maintains homeostasis.
excretory system - ANS enables disposal of metabolic wastes, regulation of salt, fluids and electrolytes.
allows waste removal from bloodstream via liver kidneys and urinary bladder skin and lungs.
integumentary system - ANS skin- protects organs. defense skin doesnt allow foreign bodies in. skin
makes vitamin D and assists in excretion.
musculoskeletal system - ANS hips, spinal column, deltoids quadriceps. protects movement support and
shape. supports production of blood and serves as storage sites for some minerals. muscle allow
movement strength posture and heat production. muscles work together to move the body.
nervous system - ANS brain spinal cord and nerves. integrates body function through nerves detects
stimuli secretes chemicals and electrical signals and controls other organ systems.
,endocrine system - ANS hypothalamus pituitary glands adrenal glands pancreas and gonads. Integrates
body through chemicals hormones. cells use hormones to communicate with each other. hormones are
needed to maintain homeostasis.
reproductive system - ANS scrotum testes prostate gland vas degerens and penis (male) ovaries fallopian
tubes uterus cervix vagina (female) provides mechanisms for internal fertilization and production of new
offspring.
phylum chordata - ANS 1. urochordatea
2. cephalochordata
3. vertebrata (humans, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals)
vertebrata - ANS humans are this because unlike the urochordates and cephalochordates we have a
column of bones (backbone) and a tube within a tube construction (vertebrata have an outer tube
formed by a body wall and inner tube in the digestive tract. Humans have bilateral symmetry that is. the
left side of body is a mirror image of the right side.
anatomical position - ANS human body is standing postion with palms facing forward. When prone
human body is postion posteriorly so you have back side view.
superior - ANS toward head end of the body. EX: chin is superior to the shoulder.
Inferior - ANS means below or away from head of body. EX: the belly button is inferior to the nose
Anterior - ANS near the front of the body EX: nose is anterior to the buttocks.
Posterior - ANS mean near the back of the body EX: the heart is posterior to the ribs
medial - ANS closest to the midline of body EX: the big toe is medial to the little toe
, lateral - ANS further away from midline of body EX: appendix is lateral to the stomach.
proximal - ANS toward nearest point of origin of a part,EX: the wrist is proximal to the digitals.
distal - ANS away from point of origin of a part. EX: finger nail is distal to the phalange.
superficial - ANS toward the surface of body EX: the ribs are superficial to the heart
deep - ANS away from surface of body EX: the brain is deep to the skull
dorsal - ANS refers to the back
vertral - ANS refers to teh abdominal area
dorsal cavity - ANS contains cranial and spinal parts
ventral cavity - ANS largest cavity in the body filling the entire front section of the body has thoracic
cavity abdominopelvic cavity.
thoracic - ANS within this cavity are the left and right pleural cavities which contain the lungs and the
pericardinal cavity (encases the heart)
abdominopelvic cavity - ANS contains the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity.
serous membranes - ANS such as the peritoneum coat and form cavities within the body.
