Study Notes
Body Systems
-
Integumentary System:
- Largest organ (skin) is a primary defense against infection and water loss.
- Regulates temperature and perceives sensations.
- Produces vitamin D and has absorption capabilities.
- Includes accessory organs like hair, nails, oil and sweat glands, and sensory receptors.
- Skin care therapists need to understand its functions and accessory organ work.
-
Skeletal System:
- Forms the physical structure of the body, including bones.
- Contains movable and immovable joints.
- Provides protection and helps support body mechanics.
-
Muscular System:
- Covers, shapes, and supports skeletal tissue.
- Muscles contract for movement.
- Important during massage and electrical treatments.
-
Nervous System:
- Carries messages throughout the body via the central nervous system.
- Controls and coordinates bodily functions.
- Includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
- Important in treatment and understanding facial nerve actions and muscle movements.
-
Circulatory System:
- Delivers blood throughout the body via the heart and blood vessels.
- Works with lymphatic channels.
- Crucial for skin tissue health; circulatory issues can cause treatment contraindications or precautions.
-
Immune/Lymphatic System:
- Protects the body from disease.
- Builds resistance to disease-causing toxins, foreign materials, and develops resistance.
- Includes Spleen and Lymph nodes.
- Lymphatic massage is a treatment type requiring lymphatic system function.
-
Endocrine System:
- Impacts growth, development, sexual activities, and bodily regulatory processes.
- Includes glands like adrenal, pituitary, and pancreas.
- Hormonal imbalances can directly affect skin conditions—acne, hair growth, and oiliness/dryness are examples.
-
Reproductive System:
- Produces children and passes down genetics from one generation to the next.
- Includes organs like ovaries, uterus, penis, testes, and other reproductive organs.
- Hormonal fluctuations influence skin health during development and life stages, like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
-
Respiratory System:
- Enables breathing by taking in oxygen and eliminating carbon dioxide.
- Includes organs like lungs, trachea, and bronchi.
- Respiration affects overall health and cell function.
-
Digestive System:
- Breaks down food through processes like digestion.
- Includes organs like the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and gall bladder, and liver.
- Good nutrition is crucial for optimal bodily function.
-
Excretory System:
- Removes waste materials from the body.
- Includes organs like kidneys, bladder, and other excretory organs.
- Crucial for overall bodily function and elimination of toxins that can affect other body systems.
