1 Body Systems Rewind #2 Nervous System Regulates the body with impulses that are both electrical and chemical Gathers information from various stimuli and generates appropriate response Brain and Spinal Cord are the major organs and are made of interneurons Spinal cord controls reflexes and relays impulses between brain and the body Sensory neuron carry impulses to brain and spinal cord Motor neuron carry impulses to muscles or glands Inter neuron links motor and sensory neurons, and it transmits impulses between them Neurotransmitters: chemical messages released from one nerve cells and goes over the synapse to the receptors the other nerve cell Parts of a Neuron CIRCLE the two neurons that are carrying an impulse to the muscle cell (5). DRAW an ARROW to indicate the direction that the impulse is traveling On one of the neurons label: AXON, DENDRITE, SYNAPSE Give TWO specific examples of how the nervous system helps maintain homeostasis A reflex arc is show below. The respiratory systems depends on the nervous system for signals to Excretory System Remove wastes produced by the cells of the body Wastes include: urea, salt, carbon dioxide, and heat Lungs excrete CO 2 and water vapor Skin excretes water and salt as sweat Liver makes urea, filters toxins and dead red blood cells from blood (Urinary) Kidneys filter nitrogen based waste out of blood and then excrete water, urea, and other substances as urine Nephron filtering unit of the kidney Ureter join kidney to bladder Bladder collects/store urine prior to excretion Urethra connects bladder to outside environment for excretion of urine Give TWO specific examples of how the excretory system helps maintain homeostasis Structure X represents A. an effector B. motor neuron C. interneuron D. synapse Parts of the Urinary System Label the following: kidney, ureter, urethra, bladder The diagram below illustrates some structures of the skin. A. enhance the amount of available oxygen in the lungs B. coordinate muscles controlling breathing C. release enzymes to increase the exchange of gases D. exchange gases with the circulatory system. Common Mistake! The kidneys make urea The liver changes ammonia to urea. Urea (nitrogen based waste from the digestion of proteins) is then transported by the blood to the kidneys. The kidneys filter wastes from blood to make urine. A signal that the bladder is full is sent to the central nervous system by A substance that blocks structure A would most directly interfere with A. cell respiration B. storage of urea C. gas exchange D. temperature regulation A. feedback loops B. sensory neurons C. nephron tubules D. receptor proteins

2 Endocrine System Some Endocrine Glands Receptor Molecules Uses hormones to regulate the body Hormones are chemical messages (usually a protein) secreted by a gland Hormones are carried from glands to the target tissue by circulatory system Hormones are slower than nerve impulses, but have longer lasting effects Hormone levels are controlled by feedback loops Feedback loops (mechanisms) in humans are controlled by the endocrine and the nervous systems. Locate the glands in the diagram above and identify their primary function pituitary adrenal Receptor molecules on the cell membrane receive hormones. It is the shape of the receptor molecule that determines which hormone it can receive. This is a good example of Lock and Key Theory. Feedback Loops pancreas thyroid Feedback loops are based on the communication of two or more hormones or other signals within an organism. Negative Feedback Loop: when one hormone or signal goes up, the other hormone or signal goes down Positive Feedback Loop: when one hormone or signal goes up, the other hormone or signal goes up and vice versa The figure to the left shows the steps involved in the feedback regulation of blood glucose levels. Using the space below, fill in the missing steps. 3. Give TWO specific examples of how the endocrine system helps maintain homeostasis Some people with spinal cord injuries do not sweat below the area of injury. Without the ability to sweat, the human body temperature begins to rise. Which statement would best describe the situation? A. Feedback mechanisms regulate blood sugar levels B. Gene mutations are increased C. Energy from ATP is not available D. Dynamic equilibrium has been disrupted If the chemical messages above are destroyed, the target cells will A. produce their own chemical message B. not respond with appropriate actions C. develop different receptors D. no longer be produced in the organism

3 Body Systems Rewind Continued Circulatory Transport materials through the body to the organs, tissues and cells that need them Transported materials include: Nutrients and water from intestines to all cells of the body Oxygen from lungs to all cells Carbon dioxide from all cells to the lungs Hormones from glands to target cells Waste from all cells to excretory organs Materials will enter/leave blood through diffusion Heart pump that drives circulatory system.

4 Immune (Lymphatic) The job of the immune system is to protect the body against pathogens Pathogens are organisms that cause disease Pathogens include viruses, bacteria and parasites White blood Cells main component of the immune system. (Police) Antibodies proteins made by white blood cells to attack pathogens (Security Alarm) Antigens protein tags on all cells that identify the structure (ID badge) Skin primary barrier to external invaders, first line of defense Immune Response There are many types of white blood cells, each with their own role Help identify and tag pathogens for destruction by other WBC Destroy pathogen by eating it Destroy pathogen by using chemicals Make antibodies Antibodies are specific in its actions It can attack one and only one type of pathogen As with all proteins, shape matters! Shape of antibody must fit target cell antigens (lock and key) Antigens are used as identification Any pathogen with the wrong antigen will be seen as foreign by your immune system, attacked and destroyed This is why it is important to match blood types before receiving blood or organ transplants Helping out the immune system Vaccine: injection of dead/weakened pathogens Trigger the body to make antibodies for the pathogen Effective against both viruses and bacteria Can only PREVENT disease by providing immunity, not CURE it Antibiotics: dugs used to stop bacterial infections ONLY Will not work on viruses Will CURE disease, unlike vaccines Integumentary (skin) Protection Reduce water loss During a process called sensitization, a person s immune system mistakenly identifies inhaled tree pollen as an invader.
