Body System Checklist

Circulatory System

• Major functions of circulatory system Pumps blood

• Diagram that includes the major parts - heart, artery, vein, capillary - and list the function(s) of
each. Heart =pumps blood / Artery = oxygenated blood/ Vein= deoxygenated blood / capillary= thin

blood vessels

• Describe each of the components of blood- red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, & plasm

Red blood cells = contain a special protein called hemoglobin / White blood cells = composed of
granulocytes / Platelets = component of blood / plasm = is the liquid component of blood

• Describe the path blood travels through your body Plasm is the blood that travels through the
body

• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. Use 2 examples. The body
system work with each other like the respiratory system and cardiovascular system because they both
involve bump in blood.

• Describe two diseases associated with your body system The two disease in the body system are
Crohn disease that is in the digestive system and coronary artery disease that damages the in the heart’s
major blood vessel.

Digestive System

• Major functions of digestive system The major function 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= to eat / esophagus = to swallow /
stomach = digests food / small intestine = 90% of the digestion / liver= produce proteins

• Describe the path food travels throughout the digestive system.The pharynx
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. Use 2 examples.The two
disease in the body system are Crohn disease that is in the digestive system and coronary artery disease
that damages the in the heart’s major blood vessel.

Endocrine System

• Major functions of endocrine system The main function is made it is up of glands that produce
and secrete hormones

• Describe what hormones are and what they do Hormones are substance that produced in an
organism and transported in tissue fluids

• 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.glands that produce and secrete hormones that chemical substances produced in the body .

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system . Parathyroid disease and Endocrine
disease

Excretory System

• Major functions of excretory system The major function of excretory system is that it performs
the function of excretion

• 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.The circulatory system is Blood that circulates through the body and Urea, uric acid, and water
are removed from the blood

• Find 5 fun facts about your body system.The bladder is around the same size and weight as the
brain. In your lifetime, on average, you will produce 7,850,000,000,000 gallons of urine. That's almost
1/12 of Lake Erie. In each kidney you may have as many as 6.487 billion nephrons

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.Kidney failure and Urinary tract infection

Muscular System
• Major functions of muscular system The main function is movement

• Describe the function and locations of each type of muscle – skeletal muscle, smooth muscle,
and cardiac muscle Skeletal muscle = support movement / smooth muscle= protects the organs / cardiac

muscle = extremely specialized form of muscle tissue

• 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.work together to allow you to bend and straighten your elbow.

• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples. The body system work together through a series of impulses and signals communicated
between the brain and skeletal muscles

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.muscular dystrophy and myasthenia
gravis

Nervous System

• Description and major functions of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

The Nervous system is the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses. Major
functions are sensory, motor , and interpativie

• 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.

connect sensory and motor neurons interpret the impulse but only in the brain and spinal cords.
• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.interacts with every other system in your body

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system. Brain damage and Multiple sclerosis

Respiratory System

• Major functions of respiratory system To breathe is the main function,

• Diagram that includes the major parts - trachea, lungs, diaphragm, epiglottis, larynx, vocal cords

- and list the function(s) of each.

• Describe the “breathing” process. You inhale and exhale

• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body.

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system. asthma and Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease

Skeletal System

• Major functions of skeletal system the internal support structure of the body.

• 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.

• Describe each of the following joints and where they are located: hinge, pivot, and ball-and-
socket. You may include other joints as well. Hinge = ankle and elbow / pivot= vibrate / ball and socket =
hip joint.

• Explain how your body system works with other systems in the body. You will need at least 2
examples.help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner.

• Describe 2 diseases associated with your body system.Osteoporosis and Leukemia:

 1. 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.
