INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
Teacher Instructions: Print out these cards onto cardsiock (in color, if possible). Prinl enough for
each pair of students to receive one set. Laminate, cut apart, and bag the cards.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Flexible and responsive organ
Made up of a series of glands lhal release
chemicals direclly into bloodstream
Exteriof layer of epidermis helps prolect
from exposure to bacteria, heat, and
chemicals
Controls body through reiease of hormones

solar radiation
Helps maintain homeostasis by regulaling
internal body temperature
Works wlth the neryous system to naintain
h0meostasis
Funclions as a sense organ
Organs include: thyroid, pituilary gland, and
Produces essential viiamins

NERVOUS SYSTEM

EXCRETORY SYSTEM
Responsible for waste removal
Includes: kidneys, urinary tract, bladder,
ureteas, and urethra
Kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes
from it, helping to maintain homeoslasis of
body fluids.
Relays infomation to and from skin and
skeletal muscles
'[.'

lncludes: neryes, brain, and sp:nal cord
Relays information to internal organs

Easic siructure unit is the neuron

Kidneys also help control level ofsodium
level in the blood.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Three types: skeletal, smoolh, and cardiac
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Smooth: involuntary: lines organs; and most
often squeezes to exerl pressure on the
space jnside the tube or organ it sutro!nds
in orderto move material thfough it
Includes: mouth, nose, Jungs, and
dlaphragm
lnvolved in getting oxygen to yo!r body
cells and femoving carbon dioxide
Cleans the dirty air you breathe
Cardiac: involuniary; interconnected
network that helps head contract efilciently
Controlled partjally by chemistry ofthe
blood
Skeletal: volLntary: atlaches to and moves
bones
Able to contracl to do woft and move the

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Breaks down food you eat into molecules
that can be used as energy for your body
cens
Breaks down food both mechanically and
chemicaily
Includesi molth, slomach, small and lafge

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM/
CARDIOVASCULAR
SYSTEM
lncludes: heart, veins, and arteries
Veins carry blood to the head.
Arteries caoy blood away from the head.
White blood cells: lafget several types: all
have nuclei; defend body againsi disease
Red blood cells: transpo.t oxygen and
some carbon dioxide; lack a nucleus:
contain hemoglobin
Platelels: cell ffagments needed for blood
clotting
Plasma: liquid; has protejnsi transpods.ed
and white blood cells, piaielets, nutrients,
enzymes. hofmones, gases, and inorganic
sa[s
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

lncludes: testes and ovanes
Controlled by homones
Ivlales produce spefm via meiosis
Females pfoduce eggs via meiosis

IMMUNE SYSTEM
Variety ofwhite blood cells to defend
againsl invasion of Palhogens
Skin, mucus, oil, sweat, tears, and saliva
also work io prevent pathogens from
entering the body.
consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph
nodes, tonsils, sPleen, and thymus
SKELETAL SYSTEM

rncludes: bones. tisaments, tendons, and
joinis

Stoaes minerals and fat
.
Allows for body movement by provlding
points of attachmenl for muscles .

Protects internal organs

Provides a framework for body tissues

Cells of Human Body Systems
'
Modificaticfns of Hurnan Cells
o Blood cells are smooth and round, so they can easily move
through our veins and arteries.
o Musctre cells are elongated so they can stretch.
c Epithelial cells are ftrattened cells that are modified in
various ways to protect from dehyclration, prevent foreign
invaders, and help regulate body temperature,
o Nerve cells have a cell body where the nucleus is located
and axons which can be up to a meter long, Axons function
to transrnit messages from the nerve cells throughout the
o
o
body"
Eone cells are arranged in circular osteon systems {A single
bone cell is an osteocyteJ.; they are moclified to produce red
blcod cells and store fat and rninerals.
Sperrn cells have long flagella to aid in their movement. Egg
cells are modified to allow sperm cells to attaeh and enter
the cell fcr fertilization.

echanisms of Homeostasis
What e9o y*u think is the difference between a negative
feedback rr'lechanisrn and a positive feedback nnechanism?
' NEgg€ivE: Goal is to return to "norrnal" Lry shutting off or
reducing the original stimulus
. Excmples: body temperature regulation, breathing
rate and blood pressure
. Positjve: Goal is to stray farther from "normal" b3'
increasing the original stimulus
, Examples: childbirth and blood clatting
