1. What are the levels of body organization: atoms>cells>tissues>organs>organ systems
2. What are the two skeletal systems: Axial (core) and Appendicular (ap- pendages)
3. What is the purpose of the skeletal system: Supports and protects tissues, acts as levers for muscles to produce
action, stores minerals for metabolic functioning, forms blood through bone marrow
4. What are the two muscular systems: Axial (core) and Appendicular (movement of appendages)
5. What is the function of the muscular system: generate locomotion, provide support, produce heat, and is used
for movement and contraction
6. What does the integumentary system consist of: Epidermis (skin), Hair, nails
7. What is the function of the integumentary system: protect against environ- ment, control body temperature
(through sweating)
8. What does the cardiovascular system consist of?: Heart and blood vessels
9. what is the purpose of the cardiovascular system: transport cells and dis- solved materials throughout the
body, regulates body temp

18. what does the digestive system consist of: oral cavity, salivary glands, esoph- agus, liver/gallbladder,
stomach, pancreas, small and large intestines, rectum
19.what is the purpose of the digestive system: break down and process in- gested components to be absorbed
into the body or eliminated to the external environment
