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.
