Leukemia is a malignancy of any white blood cell. Many lymphomas can become leukemias. White blood cells - these have an immune function Hold bones together Large gland that processes nutrients from intestines, produces many blood proteins, destroys toxins in blood, maintains energy supply of body The respiratory tract below the larynx Gas exchange location - allows close contact between blood and air Filter sites where lymphocytes (white blood cells) sample body fluids Organ system draining and filtering fluid from the body Vessels that carry lymph (bodily fluids) back to the blood White cells of the lymphatic lineage Large supportive cells of the nervous system Male reproductive organs An uncontrolled proliferation of cells capable of spreading or that has spread beyond the region where it originated. Also known as cancer. Connective tissue supporting intestines The middle layer of cells in the early embryo Macrophages of the nervous system Low-level processing Valve between left atrium and left ventricle White cells destined to become macrophages, which "eat" pathogens Tissue forming muscles - capable of generating movement of body structures Organ system providing structural support for and large-scale movement for the body Muscular wall of uterus expels baby Natural killer cells thought to destroy cancerous cells Warms and moistens air on way to lungs; contains olfactory organ as well Neoplasia is an abnormal proliferation of cells, including benign and malignant tumors (cancers). Tissue forming nerves and neural structures like the brain and spinal cord, used for coordinating bodily functions. Organ system providing control and coordination for the body Functional (information-processing) cells of the nervous system Fast-response white blood cells that "eat" pathogens A disease caused by malnutrition, such as vitamin or calorie deficiency. Cells that produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system (speeds nerve conduction) A system of organs grouped by common function Diseases specific to organ systems and their unique structures Develop ova (eggs) and produce estrogen and progesterone Produces digestive enzymes and insulin Organisms incapable of survival without a host Infection by parasites such as worms and trypanosomes Involved in relaxed, feeding response Regulate calcium levels of body "Germs" -- foreign microorganisms capable of causing disease Transfers sperm to female; expels urine The nerves that carry commands to body parts Treatment using drugs (pharmaceutical agents) Roughly, "throat" Treatment using physical manipulation and exercises Small gland involved in regulation of sleep Master endocrine gland - regulates many hormones/body functions including reproduction and fluid balance A tumor of heart muscle thought to be more of a hamartoma Abnormal proteins capable of "reproducing" themselves by inducing normal proteins to take on the same abnormal conformation. Disease caused by abnormal proteins that induce similar abnormal changes in other proteins. "Infection" is a loose label here. Treatment using couseling and behavioral exercises Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs Valve between right ventricle and pulmonary artery Carries newly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart Glia used to guide neurons during development Physical radiation causing damage to cells or DNA Storage of digestive wastes for expulsion Supplies kidneys Drains kidneys Organ system providing reproductive functions for the organism. i.e. makes babies. Organ system involved in gas exchange - taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide Feeds right ventricle Weaker ventricle of heart - pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs Produce saliva; begins digestion of complex sugars Supportive cells found in some parts of the nervous system Cells that produce the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system (speeds nerve conduction) Muscle cells of skeletal muscle - those that execute voluntary movement of the skeleton Produce voluntary skeletal movement Barrier to harmful agents Muscle cells of smooth muscle - found in digestive tract and blood vessels, execute involuntary movement DIvision responsible for conscious movement and sensation Transmits information to and from the brain and executes various reflex actions Nerves originating from spinal cord Produces blood cells early in development; immune filter for blood in adulthood Supplies spleen Drains spleen Storage area for food; kills infectious agents; begins digestion of protein Supplies head and arms Supplies portion of intestines Produce several hormones including cortisol and epinephrine Treatment using surgical intervention Involved in fight-or-flight response White cells involved in regulation of the immune system and destruction of virus-infected cells Temperature extremes capable of damaging tissue Transfers sperm to female; expels urine Produce sperm and testosterone Largest lymphatic vessel - drains to left subclavian vein Platelets - function in blood clotting "Training" site for T cells Regulates basic metabolic rate of body A collection of cells organized by a common function Harmful chemical agents Air conduit from larynx down to bronchi Interventions used by physicians to combat disease Valve between right atrium and right ventricle An uncontrolled proliferation of cells Respiratory tract above the larynx Transfers urine from kidney to bladder Conduit for urine from bladder to exterior Organ system primarily responsible for maintaining the proper chemical environment within the body Transfer eggs from ovaries to uterus Gestational site for fetus Valves are essential to the pump operation of the heart -- force blood to flow in one direction Malformations of blood vessels that produce dark red areas on the skin and can occur in other organs as well.
