    Study Notes

    Organ Systems in the Human Body

    • The human body consists of several organ systems, each with a unique function, including:
      • Nervous system: controls and coordinates body functions
      • Circulatory system: transports oxygen and nutrients to cells
      • Respiratory system: takes in oxygen and expels carbon dioxide
      • Digestive system: breaks down food into nutrients
      • Endocrine system: produces hormones to regulate body functions
      • Immune system: defends the body against pathogens
      • Muscular system: enables movement and maintains posture
      • Skeletal system: provides support and protection
      • Integumentary system: protects the body from external damage
      • Urinary system: filters waste and excess fluids
      • Reproductive system: produces sex cells and supports reproduction

    Cellular Structure

    • A cell is often referred to as the "basic unit of life"
    • The cell wall was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665

    Microscopy

    • A microscope is required to study or observe cells because cells are microscopic in size
    • Microscopes enable scientists to visualize and examine cells in detail

    Cellular Analogy

    • The relationship between cells and the human body is often described as "a city with many buildings"
    • In this analogy, cells represent the individual buildings, while the human body represents the city as a whole
