Study Notes
Organ Systems in the Human Body
Integumentary System
- Comprises skin, hair, nails, and glands
- Serves as a protective barrier against external threats
- Regulates body temperature
- Houses sensory receptors for touch, pain, and pressure
Skeletal System
- Consists of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons
- Provides support
- Protects internal organs
- Allows movement
- Serves as a storehouse for minerals like calcium and phosphorus
Muscular System
- Responsible for body movement
- Includes smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscles
- Maintains posture
- Generates heat
- Facilitates voluntary and involuntary movements
Nervous System
- Complex network including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
- Coordinates and controls bodily functions
- Relays messages through electrical impulses
- Plays a vital role in sensory perception, motor control, and cognition
Cardiovascular System
- Comprises the heart, blood vessels, and blood
- Transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body
- Helps regulate body temperature, pH, and electrolyte balance
- Assists in immune system function
Lymphatic System
- Network of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and organs (such as the spleen and thymus)
- Aids in immunity by filtering and returning interstitial fluid to the bloodstream
- Transports fatty acids from the digestive system
Respiratory System
- Encompasses the lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm
- Facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment
- Serves as the body's respiratory gas exchange system
Digestive System
- Comprises various organs, including the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas
- Processes and breaks down food into nutrients for absorption in the small intestine
- Eliminates waste through defecation
Urinary System
- Consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
- Filters blood
- Removes waste products
- Regulates fluid balance
- Assists in maintaining proper electrolyte levels and blood pressure
Endocrine System
- Comprises glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive glands
- Produces hormones that regulate bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, and development
Reproductive System
- Differs between males and females
- Enables the production of gametes necessary for reproduction
- Includes structures such as the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, testes, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis
