    Study Notes

    Biology of Human Systems

    Organization of the Human Body

    • The human body is composed of:
      • Organ systems (e.g., circulatory, respiratory)
      • Organs (e.g., heart, lungs)
      • Tissues (e.g., muscle, epithelial)
      • Cells (e.g., nerve, blood)

    Human Body Systems

    Nervous System
    • Controls and coordinates body functions
    • Consists of:
      • Central nervous system (brain, spinal cord)
      • Peripheral nervous system (nerves)
    Circulatory System
    • Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells
    • Removes waste products
    • Consists of:
      • Heart
      • Blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
    Respiratory System
    • Brings oxygen into the body
    • Removes carbon dioxide
    • Consists of:
      • Nose and mouth
      • Trachea
      • Lungs
      • Diaphragm
    Digestive System
    • Breaks down food into nutrients
    • Absorbs nutrients into bloodstream
    • Consists of:
      • Mouth
      • Esophagus
      • Stomach
      • Small intestine
      • Large intestine
    Immune System
    • Defends the body against pathogens
    • Consists of:
      • White blood cells (leukocytes)
      • Lymphatic vessels
      • Lymph nodes
      • Spleen
      • Thymus
    Endocrine System
    • Produces and regulates hormones
    • Consists of:
      • Pituitary gland
      • Thyroid gland
      • Adrenal glands
      • Pancreas
      • Ovaries (in females)
      • Testes (in males)
    Integumentary System
    • Protects the body from external damage
    • Regulates body temperature
    • Consists of:
      • Skin
      • Hair
      • Nails
      • Sweat glands
      • Sebaceous glands

    Organization of the Human Body

    • The human body consists of four main levels of organization: organ systems, organs, tissues, and cells.

    Human Body Systems

    Nervous System

    • Controls and coordinates body functions.
    • Consists of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (nerves).

    Circulatory System

    • Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells.
    • Removes waste products.
    • Consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries).

    Respiratory System

    • Brings oxygen into the body.
    • Removes carbon dioxide.
    • Consists of the nose and mouth, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm.

    Digestive System

    • Breaks down food into nutrients.
    • Absorbs nutrients into bloodstream.
    • Consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.

    Immune System

    • Defends the body against pathogens.
    • Consists of white blood cells (leukocytes), lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus.

    Endocrine System

    • Produces and regulates hormones.
    • Consists of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries (in females), and testes (in males).

    Integumentary System

    • Protects the body from external damage.
    • Regulates body temperature.
    • Consists of skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.
