Study Notes
Body Function and Structure
- Physiology is the study of how the body functions.
- Anatomy is the study of the body's structures.
- The fundamental unit of life is the cell.
Tissue Types and Functions
- Skeletal muscle is responsible for voluntary movement.
- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines cavities, providing protection, secretion, and absorption.
- Adipose tissue stores fat for energy and insulation, protecting organs.
- Simple columnar epithelial tissue forms the intestinal lining and is crucial for nutrient absorption.
- Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones at joints.
Muscle and Nervous Tissue
- Cardiac muscle is found in the heart, responsible for pumping blood.
- Smooth muscle tissue consists of long fibers and is responsible for involuntary movements in internal organs.
- Nervous tissue processes and transmits information through electrical impulses.
Organ Systems Overview
- The reproductive system produces gametes and offspring.
- The endocrine system regulates body temperature, metabolism, and reproduction through hormones.
- The immune system defends against pathogens and disease.
- The digestive system extracts and absorbs nutrients from food.
- The circulatory system transports nutrients, wastes, hormones, and gases throughout the body.
- The nervous system regulates behavior and controls sensory and motor functions.
- The urinary system removes waste from the blood and regulates body fluids.
- The integumentary system protects against injury, infection, and fluid loss.
- The muscular system moves limbs and trunk, providing structure and support.
- The respiratory system is involved in the movement of air and gas exchange.
- The skeletal system protects and supports the body and its organs.
