ENDOCRINE SYSTEM (Integration and Control) CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LIVING HUMAN ORGANISM

growth, reproduction, and nutrient use by body cells.
Every organism must be able to maintain its boundaries so
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM (Regulation and Maintenance) that its ‘inside’ remains distinct from its ‘outside’.
> Pumps blood through blood vessels The process of breaking down ingested food into simple
molecules that can then be absorbed into the blood.
Blood
> Metabolism
> Carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and
wastes away from cells Sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body
> Helps regulate acid-base balance, temperature, and water a. Catabolism – SPLIT (glycogen – glucose)
content of body fluids b. Anabolism – BUILD (amino acids – proteins)
> blood components help defend against disease and repair > Responsiveness

Body’s ability to detect and respond to changes
Blood Vessels
> Movement
> Veins – carry deoxygenated blood
Motion of the whole body, individual organs, single cells, and
> Arteries – carry oxygenated blood even tiny structures inside cells.
> Capillaries – exchange materials between blood and tissues > Growth
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM (Regulation and Maintenance) An increase in body size that results from an increase in the
size of existing cells, an increase in the number of cells, or

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (Regulation and Maintenance) a. Differentiation – the development of a cell from and
unspecialized to a specialized state
