1. What are the organs that constitute each of the organ-systems above?
- INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM = skin, hair, fingernails, toenails, oil glands and sweat glands
- MUSCULAR SYSTEM = skeletal muscle tissues, smooth muscle tissues, and cardiac muscle tissues
- ENDOCRINE SYSTEM = pineal gland, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, thymus, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovaries, and testes
- SKELETAL SYSTEM = bones, joints, and cartilages
- NERVOUS SYSTEM = the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
- LYMPHATIC SYSTEM = spleen, lymphatic fluids and vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, and tonsils
- CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM = heart, blood and blood vessels
- RESPIRATORY SYSTEM = lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchial tubes
- DIGESTIVE SYSTEM = mouth, salivary glands, esophagus, pharynx, stomach, small intestine, big intestine, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, anus, and rectum
- URINARY SYSTEM = kidneys, urethers, urinary bladder, and urethra
- REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM = [FEMALE] ovaries, fallopian tube, vagina, uterus, and mammary glands [MALE] testes, prostate gland, vas deferens, epididymis, seminal vesicles, scrotum, and penis
2. Which organ systems function to regulate acid-base balance in body fluid?
Body regulation and homeostasis mainly involves two body organs: the lungs and the kidneys. But these organs cannot facilitate their regulatory mechanisms unless the blood pumped by the heart also participates. With this being said, the respiratory, urinary and cardiovascular system are the organ systems that assumes a pivotal role in regulating acid-base balances and exchanges in our bodily fluids.
