Study Notes

Legs

Located below the torso and above the foot, the thigh helps keep the body stable and allows for walking, running, and bending.
The shin, between the knee and ankle, flexes the foot and stabilizes the ankle joint.
The ankle joint, between the foot and shin, rotates the foot and connects it to the leg.
The foot, at the bottom of the leg, provides balance while walking and distributes body weight.
The toe, at the end of the foot, helps with balance and distributes body weight.
The heel, at the back of the foot, provides balance while walking and distributes body weight.

Torso

The chest, at the top of the torso, helps stabilize the body and protect internal organs.
The abdomen, in the middle of the torso, helps stabilize the body and protects internal organs.
The belly, in the middle of the abdomen, connects a baby's umbilical cord to its mother's placenta before birth.
The back, at the back of the torso, helps stabilize the body and protects vertebrae.
The buttocks, at the back of the torso, cushion the body when sitting and assist in hip and thigh movement.
The waist, in the middle of the torso, helps stabilize the body and allows the upper body to bend to the lower half.

Nervous System

The brain, which processes sensory signals and sends messages to the rest of the body, regulates automatic body functions.
The spinal cord, part of the central nervous system, sends and receives messages along nerves to various organs and muscles.

Digestive System

The esophagus, in the neck, carries chewed food from the mouth to the stomach.
The stomach, in the upper left side of the abdomen, mixes food with stomach enzymes and holds food before it goes into the small intestine.
The small intestine, in the middle of the abdomen, digests food and absorbs nutrients.
The liver, in the upper abdomen, filters blood from the digestive tract and produces bile to take away waste.
The pancreas, in the middle of the abdomen, creates enzymes to break down food and creates hormones that carry messages through the body.
The gallbladder, in the right side of the abdomen, stores liver bile during digestion.
The large intestine, in the lower abdomen, absorbs water and vitamins for the body.
The rectum, at the end of the large intestine, stores waste until it is eliminated through the anus.
The anus, at the end of the rectum, pushes waste out of the body.

Urinary System

The urinary system balances the body by eliminating waste through urine.
The brain sends a signal to a muscle in the body, and neurotransmitters tell the muscle what to do.

Musculoskeletal System

Skeletal muscles, attached to bones, connected to tendons, allow for voluntary movement and breathing.
Cardiac muscles, in the heart, keep the heartbeat going (involuntary).
Smooth muscles, in organ walls, eyes, and skin, perform involuntary functions.

Skeletal System

The skeletal system, including 206 bones and connective tissue, provides a framework for the body.

Head and Neck

The face, at the front of the head, enables the five senses and communicates emotions.
The scalp, on top of the head, protects the skull and regulates body temperature.
The forehead, on top of the face, forms facial expressions and protects the eyes.
The nose, in the middle of the face, enables the sense of smell and keeps out foreign particles.
The eyelid, above the eye, protects the eyes from foreign particles and enables the eyes to close.
The ear, on either side of the head, enables the sense of hearing and maintains balance.
The hair, on top of the scalp, regulates body temperature and protects the scalp.
The mouth, below the nose, enables eating, talking, and breathing.
The tongue, inside the mouth, enables the sense of taste and enables talking.
The teeth, inside the mouth, chew food for digestion.
