Study Notes
Connective Tissues and Musculoskeletal System
- Tendons connect muscles to bones.
- Connective tissue serves to support, bind, and protect other tissues and organs.
- Adipose tissue functions primarily as a reserve of energy and provides insulation.
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange and delivering oxygen to the body.
Endocrine System
- The endocrine system regulates various bodily functions through hormone secretion, affecting metabolism, growth, and mood.
Body Composition
- Water constitutes about 60% of the human body weight.
Feedback Mechanisms
- Positive feedback amplifies a response, increasing deviation from a set point, such as during childbirth.
- Negative feedback works to counteract changes and maintain homeostasis by reducing error signals.
Regulatory Systems
- Regulatory systems in physiological regulation constantly monitor and adjust body functions to maintain stability.
Anticipatory Information
- Anticipatory information is used to predict internal changes, allowing adjustments to the set point for various physiological processes.
Epithelial Tissues
- Epithelial tissue lines the outer and inner surfaces of the body, providing protection and facilitating absorption.
- The outer layer of skin is composed of stratified squamous epithelium.
- Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines internal organs such as airways.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in tubules and ducts, serving secretory and absorptive functions.
Muscle Tissues
- Cardiac muscle tissue is responsible for heart contractions.
- The sliding filament model of muscle contraction features sarcomeres as the repeating units.
- Smooth muscle tissue provides motility to internal organs like the digestive tract.
Supportive Tissues
- Connective tissue provides the structural framework that allows muscles to generate movement, forming a critical part of the musculoskeletal system.
Nutritional Systems
- The digestive system breaks down food to absorb vital nutrients for the body.
