TEST REVIEW
homeostasis
The body maintains stable internal conditions through feedback control mechanisms.
Lymphatic/immune
removes fluid from tissues, protects the body; destroys bacteria and tumor cells.
endocrine
controls the body with chemicals called hormones.
skeletal
provides muscle attachment cor movement; protects/supports body organs; sight of
blood cell formation
muscular
moves limbs, allows facial expressions
respiratory
delivers oxygen to blood
cardiovascular
pumps blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the bidy tissues and carries away
carbon dioxide
digestive
breaks down foodstuffs into small particles that can be absorbed into the blood.
nervous
fast acting control system for muscles and glands
integumentary
synthesizes vitamin D; is damaged when you cut your finger or get absevere sunburn
urinary
rids body of nitrogen containing wastes.
