Study Notes
Nervous System
- Comprises the brain and spinal cord.
- Responsible for processing sensory information and transmitting signals throughout the body.
Integumentary System
- Functions: protection of tissues and regulation of body temperature.
- Essential for barrier defense against external elements.
Components of Integumentary System
- Includes skin and sweat glands.
- Skin acts as the first line of defense and helps in thermoregulation.
Skeletal System
- Composed of ligaments and bones.
- Provides structural support, protection of organs, and enables movement.
Muscular System
- Encompasses all muscles within the body.
- Vital for movement, posture, and heat production.
Urinary System
- Consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Responsible for filtering blood, removing wastes, and regulating fluid balance.
Respiratory System
- Includes lungs and is responsible for oxygen exchange in the blood.
- Vital for supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from the body.
Circulatory System
- Consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
- Facilitates the transport of nutrients, gases, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
Digestive System
- Responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed.
- Involves processes including ingestion, digestion, absorption, and excretion.
Reproductive System
- Responsible for producing offspring.
- Includes specialized organs for reproduction, which differ between males and females.
Endocrine System
- Composed of glands that secrete hormones to regulate various bodily functions.
- Plays a key role in growth, metabolism, and maintaining homeostasis.
