Integumentary System
Integumentary System
The outer layer of the body, consisting of skin, hair, and nails, which protects, regulates temperature, and provides sensory feedback.
Skeletal System
Skeletal System
The framework of the body made up of bones, cartilage, and ligaments. It provides support, structure, protection, and allows for movement.
Muscular System
Muscular System
The system responsible for movement. It involves skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles, each with distinct functions.

Study Notes
Hanum Body Structure
- The Hanum body is a hypothetical construct, used in science fiction, fantasy, or similar contexts, resembling a human-like or humanoid form.
- No specific anatomical structure or organ system is explicitly detailed for the Hanum, as it is not a real biological entity.
- The concept of a Hanum body allows for flexible imagination of biological systems and features, often adapted to fit specific narratives or artistic portrayals.
Human Body and Organ Systems
- Integumentary System: This protective outer layer includes skin, hair, and nails, regulating temperature and providing sensory feedback.
- Skeletal System: This system provides support, structure, and protection. It's composed of bones, cartilage, and ligaments, enabling movement and housing bone marrow for blood cell creation.
- Muscular System: Enabling body movement, this system consists of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles, each with unique functions. Skeletal muscles coordinate with the skeletal system for locomotion.
- Nervous System: As the body's control center, the nervous system processes information and coordinates responses to stimuli. It's composed of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves for communication.
- Endocrine System: Regulating bodily functions via hormones, this system includes glands releasing hormones into the bloodstream, affecting growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
- Cardiovascular System: Transporting oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body, the cardiovascular system uses blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) and the heart to maintain circulation.
- Lymphatic System: Part of the immune system, this system involves lymph nodes, vessels, and lymphatic fluid, draining interstitial fluid, filtering, and protecting against pathogens.
- Respiratory System: Facilitating gas exchange, this system delivers oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream. Lungs and airways enable breathing and oxygenation.
- Digestive System: Processing food and absorbing nutrients, the digestive system encompasses the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas, breaking down and assimilating nutritional components.
- Urinary System: Filtering waste from the blood and excreting urine, this system maintains fluid balance and electrolyte homeostasis.
- Reproductive System: Facilitating reproduction, either through sexual reproduction (involving male and female specific organs) or other methods, organs and processes vary between genders.
- Immune System: Defending the body against microorganisms and substances, this system uses various cell types and proteins to combat foreign invaders, providing critical disease protection.
Summary of Organ Systems Interrelation
- Organ systems interact, maintaining homeostasis, responding to internal and external stimuli, and ensuring the survival of the organism.
- Dysfunction in one organ system can disrupt others, highlighting the importance of coordinated physiological processes.
