Study Notes
Level of Organization
- Models help understand internal body parts and their functions.
- Humans have many organ systems, including circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems.
- The heart, central to the circulatory system, acts as a pump.
- Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
- Veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart.
- Capillaries facilitate gas and nutrient exchange at the cellular level.
- The heart pumps blood, delivering nutrients and oxygen.
- The kidneys filter blood, removing waste and excess water.
- The stomach breaks down food.
- The brain controls organ functions.
- The lungs facilitate breathing, exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
