Study Notes
Organ Systems
- Systems are a group of organs that work together
- Body systems include the skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, and digestive systems
Skeletal and Muscular Systems
- Vertebrate bones form the skeletal system, which provides support and helps with movement
- The muscular system works with the skeletal system to enable movement
- Muscles work in pairs to move the skeleton, as seen in frogs using their leg muscles to jump
Nervous System
- The nervous system is the body's control center, made up of nerve cells
- It consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory organs
- Sensory organs help animals sense changes in their environment through sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell
- Owls have strong eyesight, allowing them to see in the dark
Respiratory System
- All animal cells need oxygen
- The respiratory system brings oxygen into the blood and removes carbon dioxide waste
- Adult salamanders breathe through their skin and lungs, a characteristic of amphibians
Respiratory and Circulatory Systems
- The circulatory system carries oxygen, food, and water to the body cells and removes waste
- The heart, blood, and blood vessels make up the circulatory system
- The respiratory system provides oxygen for the blood, which is then transported by the circulatory system
Excretory System
- Cells break down food and chemicals, producing waste
- The excretory system removes waste from the body
- The liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs/gills are excretory organs
Digestive System
- Animals consume food for energy
- The digestive system breaks down food into forms usable by the body cells
- The digestive system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines
