Study Notes
Organ Systems
- The human body is composed of 11 organ systems that work together to maintain homeostasis:
- Nervous system
- Circulatory system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system
- Endocrine system
- Immune system
- Integumentary system
- Muscular system
- Skeletal system
- Urinary system
- Reproductive system
Body Cavities
- The human body has two main cavities:
- Dorsal cavity: contains the brain and spinal cord
- Ventral cavity: contains the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
- Thoracic cavity: contains the lungs, heart, and major blood vessels
- Abdominopelvic cavity: contains the abdominal and pelvic organs
Body Regions
- The human body can be divided into several regions:
- Head and neck
- Thorax (chest)
- Abdomen
- Pelvis
- Upper limb (arm)
- Lower limb (leg)
Tissue Types
- There are four main tissue types in the human body:
- Epithelial tissue: forms the lining of organs and glands
- Connective tissue: provides support and structure
- Muscle tissue: allows for movement and contraction
- Nervous tissue: transmits and processes information
Body Directions
- Anatomical directions:
- Superior: towards the head
- Inferior: towards the feet
- Anterior: towards the front
- Posterior: towards the back
- Medial: towards the midline
- Lateral: away from the midline
- Proximal: towards the trunk
- Distal: away from the trunk
Organ Systems
- Human body is composed of 11 organ systems that work together to maintain homeostasis
- These 11 systems are: Nervous, Circulatory, Respiratory, Digestive, Endocrine, Immune, Integumentary, Muscular, Skeletal, Urinary, and Reproductive
Body Cavities
- Human body has two main cavities: Dorsal and Ventral
- Dorsal cavity contains the brain and spinal cord
- Ventral cavity contains the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
- Thoracic cavity contains the lungs, heart, and major blood vessels
- Abdominopelvic cavity contains the abdominal and pelvic organs
Body Regions
- Human body can be divided into several regions: Head and neck, Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis, Upper limb, and Lower limb
Tissue Types
- There are four main tissue types: Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
- Epithelial tissue forms the lining of organs and glands
- Connective tissue provides support and structure
- Muscle tissue allows for movement and contraction
- Nervous tissue transmits and processes information
Body Directions
- Anatomical directions include: Superior, Inferior, Anterior, Posterior, Medial, Lateral, Proximal, and Distal
- Superior refers to the direction towards the head
- Inferior refers to the direction towards the feet
- Anterior refers to the direction towards the front
- Posterior refers to the direction towards the back
- Medial refers to the direction towards the midline
- Lateral refers to the direction away from the midline
- Proximal refers to the direction towards the trunk
- Distal refers to the direction away from the trunk
