Study Notes
Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs and cavities, and forms glands.
- Connective tissue connects, supports, protects organs, and distributes blood vessels to tissues.
- Muscular tissue contracts for movement and heat generation.
- Nervous tissue transmits information through nerve impulses.
Organs and Systems
- An organ consists of different tissue types joined for specific functions and recognizable shapes (e.g., stomach, skin, heart).
- A system is a group of related organs functioning together.
Major Organ Systems
- Integumentary system: Protects body, regulates temperature (includes skin, hair, nails).
- Skeletal system: Supports and protects body (composed of bones and joints).
- Muscular system: Enables movement (consists of skeletal muscle tissue).
- Nervous system: Regulates body activities through nerve impulses (includes brain, spinal cord).
- Endocrine system: Regulates functions by hormone secretion (composed of hormone-producing glands).
- Cardiovascular system: Pumps blood, carries nutrients (includes heart, blood vessels).
- Lymphatic system: Returns proteins and fluids to blood (involves lymphatic fluids and vessels).
