Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Outer covering of the body known as skin.
- Functions include waterproofing, organ protection, waste excretion, sensory perception, and vitamin D formation.
Skeletal System
- Composed of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints.
- Supports body structure, facilitates movement, protects internal organs, and produces blood cells.
Muscular System
- Comprised of all body muscles.
- Functions in movement, posture maintenance, and muscle contraction/elongation.
Nervous System
- Fast-acting control system consisting of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors.
- Responds to internal and external changes in the body.
Respiratory System
- Includes nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
- Supplies oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide.
Urinary System (Excretory System)
- Consists of kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra.
- Responsible for waste elimination from the body.
Reproductive System (Male)
- Composed of testis, penis, scrotum, and duct system for sperm transport.
- Primarily functions in reproduction and development of male characteristics.
Reproductive System (Female)
- Includes ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and breasts.
- Functions in reproduction and support of fetal development.
Cardiovascular System
- Consists of the heart and blood vessels.
- Responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body.
Endocrine System
- Composed of glands such as the pituitary and pineal glands.
- Produces hormones that regulate growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
Lymphatic System
- Works with the cardiovascular system and includes lymph nodes and lymph vessels.
- Protects the body from pathogens and houses white blood cells to combat infections.
Digestive System
- Comprises the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
- Breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and distributes them to cells.
