Study Notes

Body Systems

Integumentary System: Largest organ, first defense against infection and water loss. Regulates temperature, perceives sensation, produces vitamin D; important for understanding skin care.

Cells

Basic structure and function: Cells are the fundamental units of living organisms; perform all life processes; trillions in the human body, various sizes, shapes, and purposes.

Cell Structures

Nucleus: Dense protoplasm in cell center; responsible for reproduction and metabolism (like the yolk); contains nucleoplasm and DNA.
Mitochondria: Extract energy from nutrients, crucial for cell function.
Cell Membrane: Encloses protoplasm; selectively permeable, controls substances entering and leaving the cell, protects the cell, and communicates with other cells.

Cell Reproduction and Division

Mitosis: Normal cell reproduction process in human tissues; produces identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Cell Metabolism

Chemical process in living organisms; coverts nutrients into energy, removes waste, allows growth, reproduction, and responding to the environment.

Tissues

Connective Tissue: Supports, protects, and binds tissues (bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, fat).
Epithelial Tissue: Protective lining (skin, mucous membranes, organs).
Muscle Tissue: Contracts for movement.
Nerve Tissue: Carries messages, controls body functions (brain, spinal cord, nerves).

Accessory Organs of the Skin

Hair, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, sensory receptors.

Other Important Concepts

Anatomy: Study of body structures.
Physiology: Study of structure and function of body parts.
Histology: Study of body structures too small to be seen without a microscope.
Protoplasm: The colorless, watery, gel-like fluid inside cells; contains nutrients for growth, reproduction and repair.

Organs and Body Functioning

Organs are built of multiple tissues working together to perform specialized functions, ensuring healthy organ operation and maintaining a healthy body.
