Study Notes
Cells
- The basic building block of all living things
- The human body is composed of trillions of cells
- Cells are the smallest living thing in the body
- Functions: provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, and convert nutrients into energy
Tissues
- A group of cells that have similar structure and function
- Functions: work together to perform a specific job in the body
Organs
- A part of the body made up of tissue and cells that perform a specific function
- Examples: brain, heart, lungs
- Functions: brain - controls other organs and their function, heart - pumps blood and oxygen, lungs - helps oxygen enter the red cells in the blood
Organ Systems
- A group of organs that work together to perform a complex function
- Examples: digestive system, nervous system, muscular system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, skeletal system
- Functions: digestive system - breaks down food into nutrients, nervous system - controls and coordinates body functions, muscular system - enables movement, cardiovascular system - circulates blood, endocrine system - regulates body functions using hormones, skeletal system - provides structural support for the body
Organism
- Reacts to stimuli, reproduces, grows, adapts, and maintains homeostasis
- Examples: bacteria, humans, plants, animals
Respiratory System
- Function: responsible for breathing, exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment
- Organs: nose, trachea, lungs, bronchi, diaphragm
Circulatory System
- Function: circulates blood throughout the body, delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells and removing waste products
- Organs: heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), blood
Digestive System
- Function: breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body and eliminates waste
- Organs: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas
Nervous System
- Function: controls and coordinates the body's functions and responds to internal and external stimuli
- Organs: brain, spinal cord, nerves
Endocrine System
- Function: regulates body functions using hormones produced by glands
- Organs: pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries/testes
Muscular System
- Types of Muscles: skeletal muscles (attached to bones, responsible for voluntary movements), smooth muscles (found in organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements), cardiac muscles (found only in the heart, responsible for pumping blood)
Skeletal System
- Function: provides structural support for the body, protects organs, movement, and blood cell production
- Major bones: skull, spine (vertebrae), ribs, sternum (breastbone), pelvis, femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone)
