CNA chapter 4
1. Homeostatis process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environ-
ment; body system are working together at their best
2. Metabolism Physical and chemical process which substances are broken down into
energy, the combination of chemical reactions through which an organism
builds up or breaks down materials
3. Anterior front of the body
4. Posterior (dorsal) back of body
5. Superior toward the head
6. Inferior away from the head
7. Medial Toward the midline of the body
8. Lateral away from the midline/side
9. What is the largest or- Skin (integumentary system)
gan in the body?
10. musculoskeletal sys- the system of bones and skeletal muscles that support and protect the
tem body and permit movement
11. Role of musculoskele- Gives body shape and structure
tal system Muscles produce heat and movement
Muscles move the bones
12. role of integumentary barrier for disease, water regulation, sensory, breathing, sweat to cool off,
system helps regulate body temperature, rid body of toxins. .
13. respiratory system A system of organs, functioning in the process of gas exchange between
the body and the environment, consisting especially of the nose, nasal
passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
, CNA chapter 4
14. upper respiratory nose, pharynx, larynx
tract
15. lower respiratory tract consists of the bronchial tree and lungs
16. cardiovascular system Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nutrients, wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood.
17. parts of the cardiovas- heart, blood vessels (veins & Arteries), blood
cular system
18. Gastrointestinal Of or relating to the stomach and the intestines
19. Role of Gastrointesti- digestion and absorption. Digestion is the breakdown of food into small
nal system molecules, which are then absorbed into the body. The digestive system
is divided into two major parts: The digestive tract (alimentary canal) is a
continuous tube with two openings: the mouth and the anus.
20. urinary system kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
21. role of urinary system maintenance of the internal environment of the body by maintaining
plasma volume and composition via elimination of waste products and
excess salt and water from the body
22. difference in male and Female urethra is much shorter than the male urethra
female urethra
23. Two parts of the ner- central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
vous system
24. CNS (central nervous consists of the brain and spinal cord
system)
25. cranial nerves and spinal nerves
