Analogy: the integumentary system is like the filters in the house Back to main because the regulation what is happening on the outside page Integumentary system Key terms: Function: Vocabulary: -Protection- protects Perspiration- sweat Epidermis- outer layer of skin From UV rays, physical debris and pathogens -Body temperature Dermis- layer below the epidermis Healthcare careers: maintenance- helps Keratin- water-repellent protein -Dermatology Melanin- pigments that are brown or black technician- they are homeostasis Sebum- oil assistants that take vital signs, record patient’s -Perceiving stimuli- Arrector-pili- muscle fibers on hair follicles history, and prepares Gland- cell or cells that secrete substances patients for for exams detects temperature, touch, and procedures. pain and pressure inside or outside the body -Dermatology nurse practitioner- they are Lipocytes- cells that make and store fat professionals that can prescribe medicine, -Excretion- excretes waste Collagen- protein skin, bone,cartilage, ligaments and order lab work, and do minor procedures. products tendons Diseases and disorders: -Albinism-condition of losing pigmentation Cyanosis-condition of turning blue -Eczema- condition of certain areas of skin becoming irritated and itching -Gangrene- death of blood tissue

Analogy: This is like the foundation of the house because the musculoskeletal system helps give the body structure Musculoskeletal system Functions: Vocabulary: Key terms: Skeletal: Ligaments- tissues connects bone to bone Protection- protects internal organs and Tendons-tissues that structures Support- gives the body connects muscle to bone structure Foramen-passageway for blood vessels and nerves Creation of red blood cells- Sinus- hollow cavity in a bone bone marrow produces Thorax-made of rib, vertebrae, and sternum Fascia- RBCs Mineral storage- stores Automaticity-ability of muscles contracting without calcium and phosphorus nerves Excitability-ability of skeletal muscles receiving and Healthcare careers: Muscular- replying to nerves by contraction Prosthetist-works with patients with or in need -secures bones and allows Extensibility-ability of skeletal muscles stretching of a prosthesis movement to occur Radiologic technologist- performs -produces body heat Diseases and conditions: X-rays for diagnosis and treatment -protects organs Myomalacia- abnormal softening of muscle tissue -helping blood flow and Myoma-muscle tumor other fluids Arthritis-inflammation of the joints -helps move food Lumbago- Lower back pain

Analogy: The nervous system is like the power system because it is connected to all of the house Vocabulary: and sends electrical signals. Sensory neurons-sends Nervous system signals to the brain and spinal cord Nerves:group of neuron fibers Function: Myelin sheath:protective Sensory input: sends layer on the axon signals from the sensory Central nervous system: organs to the CNS made of spinal cord and brain Integration:interprets the and it receives, processes and sends a reaction from all information from the over. Healthcare careers: Electroneurodiagno sensory organs Frontal lobe- anterior part of stic technologist- in Motor output:CNS sends the brain charge of the use of message to the effectors Parietal lobes- superior part diagnostic as a response of the brain equipment for the Occipital lobe-posterior part nervous system Neurosurgeon- Hemiparesis-paralysis ofof the brain; controls vision treats and Temporal lobe-lateral parts diagnoses Diseases and conditions: one side conditions of the Astrocytoma-tumor of glial of the right and left cerebrum nervous system tissue Hemiplegia-paralysis of parts Cerebral contusion-bruising one side of the body Cerebellum-posterior part of in the cerebral Paralysis-temporary or the cerebrum permanent loss of Diencephalon-posterior part movement of the forebrain

Special senses Analogy: This is like the security cameras because they monitor what happens inside and outside Key terms: Function: monitor changes and Vocabulary: irid/o- iris stimuli (internally and -cusis- hearing Macula- pigmented area -opia- vision condition externally) near the retina ot/o- ear tympan/o- eardrum; tympanic The sensory organs detect Rods- photoreceptors for membrane opthalm/o-eye black and white -metry- process of measuring stimuli and send impulses to Cones- photoreceptors Diseases and conditions: the nerves, which is transmitted for color Cataract- clouding of the lens Hordeolum- inflammation and then there is a response Aqueous humor- watery of the eyelid; sty Myopia-nearsightedness from the body fluid that shapes the Hyperopia- farsightedness eyeball Otalgia-earache Healthcare careers: Vitreous humor- gel that Audiologist - a person keeps retina in place who specializes in Cerumen- earwax hearing, balance, and Malleus- auditory ossicle other disorders and bone that is conditions related. hammer-shaped Ophthalmologist- Incus- anvil shaped performs eye exams middle ossicle bone and prescribes Stapes-stirrup shaped medicine and inner ossicle bone treatment. Gustatory sense- sense of taste

Cardiovascular system Vocabulary: Pericardium-outermost layer of the heart Myocardium- middle layer of the heart Analogy: It is like the water system because it moves Endocardium-innermost blood all over the body and without water, people layer of the heart cannot live in the house similarly to the Systole- contractions of cardiovascular system. Functions: The function is the ventricles Diastole- relaxation of the Key terms: to move oxygenated ventricles blood and nutrients Blood pressure- the around the body and to pressure blood moves remove waste from the against the wall of a bloodstream. vein/artery Sphygmomanometer: Instrument used to measure blood pressure Sinoatrial node- Diseases and conditions: pacemaker of the heart Bradycardia- slow heart rate Arrhythmia- irregular heartbeat Veins- carries Atherosclerosis- plaque building up in the arteries deoxygenated blood to the Cardiomyopathy- disease of the heart muscle heart Healthcare careers: Capillaries- small blood Telemetry nurse- measures heart vessels where carbon patterns with equipment dioxide and oxygen can be Cardiologist- physician that treats and exchanged diagnoses heart conditions
