Study Notes

Body Systems

  • The integumentary system is one of the most important parts of the sensory system. Plays a protective role.
  • The circulatory system is the primary transportation system in the body, transporting oxygenated blood and removing waste products.
  • The lymphatic system returns fluid to the circulatory system.
  • The respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide.
  • The digestive system converts food into nutrients.
  • The muscular system moves the body internally and externally.
  • The sensory system monitors the body's internal and external environment.
  • The urinary system eliminates waste products.
  • The reproductive system maintains the species.

Tissues

  • Four main types of tissue: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues.
  • Six types of connective tissues: adipose, loose, dense, elastic, cartilage, and bone.
  • Bonus connective tissue: blood

Glands

  • Three types of endocrine glands: ovary, gonads, and thyroid.
  • Three types of exocrine glands: mammary, lacrimal, and salivary glands.

Cartilage

  • Three types of cartilage: hyaline (found in trachea), fibrous (found in intervertebral disks), and elastic (found in ear).

Bones

  • Six types of bones: long (femur), small (carpals/tarsals), irregular (vertebrae), sesamoid (patella), pneumatic (found in many birds), and flat (pelvis).

Largest Organ

  • The skin is the largest organ in the body.
