Document Summary

Skeletal system: attachment for muscles, produces blood cells. Muscular system: moves body and maintains posture, internal transport of fluids. Nervous system: regulates and integrates body functions via neurons. Endocrine system: regulates and integrates body functions via hormones. Cardiovascular system: transports nutrients, respiratory gases, wastes, and heat, regulates ph, transports hormones. Lymphatic system: protects against infection and disease. Respiratory system: exchange of gases with environment. Urinary system: maintains constant internal environment through excretion of nitrogenous waste (cid:2) (cid:2) Reproductive system: produces and secretes hormones, releases egg and sperm. Parenchyma: cells that perform functions unique to that organ. Stroma: cells and matrix that support parenchyma, same in all organs. Cells types in tissue: macrophage, fibroblast, lymphocyte, fat cell, mast cell, neutrophil, collagen fiber, elastic fiber, reticular fiber, simple squamous. Lines blood vessels and air sacs of lungs. Permits exchange of nutrients, wastes, and gases: stratified squamous. Secretes and reabsorbs water and small molecules: simple cuboidal, stratified cuboidal.
