(Bio 33: Anatomy and Physiology I)
Larry Frolich, Body Systems

Chapter 5; First Exam
Larry Frolich, Body Systems
Skeletal System
• Function: Structural
Support for Body, Calcium
storage
• Structures: Bones, Joints
• Tissues: Bone, Cartilage,
Tendon,
• How’s it work? Bones are
stiff, calcified structures
that provide support; joints
unite bones and allow for
movement
Chapters 6,7,8; Second Exam
Larry Frolich, Body Systems
Skeleton Websites
• The Virtual Body—skeleton overview and
build-a-body, zoom in on bones
Larry Frolich, Body Systems
Muscular System
• Function: Movement of
Body and Parts
• Structures: Muscles
• Tissues: Muscle Tissue
• How’s it work? Muscles
respond to nerve impulses
and contract
Chapters 9, 10; Third Exam
Larry Frolich, Body Systems
Muscle Websites
• The Harvey Project—comprehensive info
with animated presentations
Larry Frolich, Body Systems
Nervous System
• Function: Transmit sensory
and motor information
throughout body; central
learning and decision-making
• Structures: Brain, Spinal Cord,
Nerves
• Tissues: Nerve
Tissue/Neurons
• How’s it work? Brain and
Spinal Cord are processing
center. Nerves bring in
sensory information and take
out motor information to move
muscles and stimulate glands

Chapters 11, 12, 13, 14; Third Exam
Nervous System Websites
(coming soon)
Larry Frolich, Body Systems
Endocrine System
• Function: Secrete global
hormone messengers
• Structures: Endocrine
glands
• Tissues: Glandular
epithelial tissue
• How’s it work? Glands
respond to nervous
system stimulation (or
other hormones) and
secrete regulatory
substances)
