Study Notes

Body Systems Table

The integumentary system is the largest organ of the body, acting as the first line of defense against infection and water loss.
It regulates temperature, perceives sensations, produces vitamin D, and has absorption capabilities.
The organs include skin, oil and sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair and nails.
Skin care therapists need to understand these functions for successful treatments.

Skeletal System

The skeletal system forms the physical foundation of the body.
It consists of bones and movable and immovable joints.
Bones protect the body's mechanics and provide physical landmarks for treatments.
Understanding the skeletal system is crucial for treatments like massage and makeup applications.

Muscular System

Muscles cover, shape, and support skeletal tissues.
They contract and are essential for massage treatments and makeup application.

Nervous System

Carries messages throughout the central nervous system, controlling and coordinating bodily functions.
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves are key components, and their function is important in facial treatments.

Circulatory System

Delivers blood steadily throughout the body via blood vessels in conjunction with lymphatic channels.
The health of the circulatory system affects skin tissue health, presenting contraindications for treatments.
Understanding the circulatory system is crucial for treatments, like body wraps.

Immune/Lymphatic System

Protects the body from disease by developing resistance and destroying disease-causing toxins and foreign material.
The lymphatic system is important in many treatments, particularly lymphatic massage.

Endocrine System

Affects growth, development, sexual activities, and body's regulatory processes.
Specialized glands produce hormones that affect skin health, including acne breakouts, hair growth, and skin oiliness.
Understanding hormonal influences on skin is essential for skin care.

Reproductive System

Responsible for reproduction and passing on genetics.
Differentiates between sexes and has hormonal influences that affect skin.

Respiratory System

Enables breathing, supplying the body with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
Adequate oxygenation is essential for cell functioning and the respiratory system plays critical roles in treatments impacting tissue health

Digestive System

Breaks down food through various organs (esophagus, stomach, etc).
Good nutrition is essential for skin health and overall body function

Excretory System

Eliminates waste matter from the body, particularly through the kidneys and bladder.
Functions to eliminate toxins that can negatively impact the body, which is key to other body systems functioning properly.

Cell Structure and Function

Defines and describes the nucleus, protoplasm, mitochondria, cell membrane and their roles.
Discusses the process of cell reproduction.
Explains that understanding cell function is crucial to understanding treatments procedures.

Tissues

Introduces and describes different tissue types.
Covers connective, epithelial, muscle and nerve tissue and their function.
Highlights their contribution to organ function and how they contribute to body health.

Accessory Organs

Lists five accessory organs in the skin.
