Study Notes

Human Body Organ Systems

  • Eleven organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis and carry out life tasks.
  • The eleven systems are: digestive, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, respiratory, urinary, cardiovascular, lymphatic, skeletal, muscular, and nervous.

Note 1

  • The first eight organ systems are essential to study during the first course.
  • In-depth study of skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems is recommended for the second course.

Note 2: Homeostasis

  • Homeostasis is a healthy state maintained by the proper functioning of cells, tissues, and organs.
  • Homeostasis maintains stability and constancy necessary for life.
  • This involves constant adjustment of biochemical and physiological pathways
  • Blood pressure is an example of homeostasis, maintained by hormonal (endocrine), neuromuscular, and cardiovascular adjustments.

Digestive System Overview

  • The digestive system converts food into basic nutrients necessary for the body.
  • This process takes approximately 24-33 hrs.
  • The system breaks down components (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) into simpler molecules that can be absorbed by the small intestine and carried to the liver.
  • The system includes the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and accessory organs.

GIT Portions

  • Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus
  • The GIT has two main processes: mechanical and chemical digestion.

Accessory Organs

  • These organs support the GIT in food processing.
  • Teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas

Pharynx

  • A funnel-shaped tube extending from the internal nares.
  • Connects the esophagus and larynx.
  • Divided into three parts: nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
  • Part of the throat.

Throat-Pharynx

  • The throat is a respiratory space
  • Includes the epiglottis, a flap that closes the airway during swallowing to prevent food entry.
  • Includes the larynx (voice box).

Esophagus

  • A muscular tube connecting the laryngopharynx to the stomach
  • Conducts food via peristalsis (rhythmic squeezing).
  • The esophagus has an upper and lower esophageal sphincter.

Stomach

  • A J-shaped organ located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen
  • Has four regions: cardiac, fundus, body, and pylorus.
  • Involved in mixing food with digestive enzymes creating chyme.
  • Expels food contents via the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine.

Small Intestine

  • The main digestive organ of the body.
  • Extends from pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal valve.
  • Divided into three parts: duodenum (C-shaped), jejunum(mid portion), and ileum (final portion).
  • Involved in chemical digestion and nutrient absorption.
  • Absorbs nutrients into the blood or lymph via villi.

Large Intestine (Colon)

  • Has a horseshoe-like shape.
  • Consists of the appendix, cecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus.
  • Absorbs water and salts and compresses food into feces.
  • Stores and regulates fecal elimination.

Teeth

  • Adults typically have 32 permanent teeth.
  • Children have 20 primary or deciduous (milk) teeth.
  • Types of teeth include incisors, canines, pre-molars, and molars.

Tongue

  • Plays a part in mastication and swallowing.
  • Helps with taste recognition.
  • A fleshy muscular structure attached to the hyoid bone and lingual frenulum at the base of the mouth.

Salivary Glands

  • Present in the oral cavity for saliva and mucin production.
  • Three types: parotid, submandibular, sublingual.

Liver

  • The largest glandular organ.
  • Involved in biochemical tasks like protein, hormone, and bile production.
  • Converts and stores nutrients like glucose.
  • Located under the diaphragm, on the body's right side.
  • Connected to the gallbladder via the common hepatic duct.

Gallbladder

  • Stores bile produced by the liver.
  • Releases bile into the duodenum as needed for fat breakdown.

Pancreas

  • Located behind the stomach.
  • Produces enzymes (for digestion) and hormones (like insulin) primarily for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
  • Has three main portions: head, body, and tail.
