Study Notes
- Living organisms have a structural organization that allows them to perform life functions
- This organization is hierarchical in structure, going from simple to complex
Structural Organization Hierarchy
- Cell: The basic structural and functional unit of life
- Tissue: A group of similar cells performing a specific function
- Organ: A structure composed of different tissues working together to perform a function
- Organ System: A group of organs working together to carry out a complex function
- Organism: A complete living being with multiple organ systems working together
Organ Systems in the Human Body
- The human body has 11 organ systems
- Each system performs essential functions for survival and homeostasis
Integumentary System
- Includes skin, hair, and nails
- Protects the body from external harm
- Regulates temperature and prevents water loss
Skeletal System
- Includes bones, cartilage, and ligaments
- Provides structural support
- Protects internal organs and enables movement with muscles
Muscular System
- Includes skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles
- Facilitates movement and posture
- Generates heat
Nervous System
- Includes brain, spinal cord, and nerves
- Controls body functions and responses
- Processes sensory information
Endocrine System
- Includes glands such as the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands
- Regulates hormones for growth, metabolism, and homeostasis
Cardiovascular System
- Includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels
- Transports oxygen, nutrients, and hormones
- Removes waste from the body
Lymphatic System
- Includes lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and the spleen
- Supports immunity and fluid balance
Respiratory System
- Includes lungs, trachea, and bronchi
- Facilitates gas exchange (oxygen in, carbon dioxide out)
Digestive System
- Includes the mouth, stomach, intestines, and liver
- Breaks down food for nutrient absorption
- Eliminates waste
Urinary System
- Includes kidneys, bladder, and urethra
- Filters waste from blood
- Maintains fluid and electrolyte balance
Reproductive System
- Male: testes
- Female: ovaries
- Enables reproduction
- Produces sex hormones
Homeostasis
- Organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis
- Homeostasis ensures the survival of the organism
