Study Notes
Definitions
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of living organisms.
- Physiology is the study of the functions of living organisms.
Levels of Structural Organization
- Molecules combine to form water, sugar, and proteins at the chemical level.
Organ System Level
- The organ system level is characterized by the organization of organs that work together to perform specific functions.
Integumentary System
- The function of the integumentary system is to protect the body from external damage, regulate body temperature, and aid in the senses of touch and feel.
Circulatory System
- The circulatory system transports materials throughout the body using blood as a carrier.
Urinary System
- The main function of the urinary system is to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood and excrete them from the body.
Lymphatic System
- The lymphatic system maintains fluid levels in body tissues by removing fluids that leak out of blood vessels.
Nervous System
- The major organs of the nervous system are the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system keeps the body supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.
