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.
