Lymphatic system functions - answer Redistribute extra tissue fluid, complete
maturation of lymphocytes, help defend against invaders
Integumentary system - answer Skin, hair, nails, and glands
Integumentary system functions - answer Forms physical barrier against invasion,
thermoregulation, sense pain, temperature, pressure, and touch
Nervous system - answer Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs
Neurons - answerFunctional units of the nervous system
Central Nervous System - answerBrain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System - answerNerves that connect the CNS to other body parts
Divisions of the PNS - answerSomatic, autonomoc
Somatic PNS - answerCommunicate with the skin and skeletal muscles

Muscular system - answerMuscles
Muscular system function - answerMove the body
Skeletal (striated) muscle - answerVoluntary; moves the body
Cardiac muscle - answerInvoluntary; striated; forms and pumps the heart

surgical procedure
Clinical Pathology - answerLab procedures used to make a diagnosis
Pathophysiology - answerStudy of functional changes with diseases and disorders
Forensic pathology - answerDetermining the cause of death
General pathology - answerLooking at the body as a whole; studies diseases in different
organs
Specific Pathology - answerStudy of particular diseases that occur in particular organs
Lesion - answerPathological or traumatic change in the structure or function of a part
Examples of lesions - answerWound, infection, tumor, abscess, chemical abnormalities
Diagnosis - answerDetermination of the nature of a particular disease
Prognosis - answerForecast of the probable outcome of a disease
Symptoms - answerIndications of disease experienced by the sufferer
