Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Forms the outer covering of the body, protecting deeper tissues from injuries.
- Synthesizes vitamin D essential for bone health.
- Houses cutaneous receptors for senses like pain and pressure, and contains sweat and oil glands.
Skeletal System
- Provides structure, support, and protection for body organs.
- Serves as a framework for muscles, facilitating movement.
- Responsible for blood cell production within bones and mineral storage.
Muscular System
- Allows for manipulation of the environment, movement, and facial expressions.
- Maintains body posture and generates heat through muscle activity.
Nervous System
- Acts as a fast-acting control system that responds to changes in the internal and external environment.
- Activates muscles and glands to produce appropriate responses.
Endocrine System
- Comprises glands that secrete hormones regulating growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
- Plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in body processes.
Cardiovascular System
- Composed of blood vessels that transport blood throughout the body.
- Carries essential substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste products.
- The heart functions as a pump to circulate blood.
Lymphatic System
- Picks up excess fluid leaked from blood vessels, returning it to the circulatory system.
- Disposes of debris and pathogens in the lymphatic stream.
- Provides housing for white blood cells involved in immune responses.
Respiratory System
- Ensures a continuous supply of oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide.
- Gas exchange occurs in the air sacs of the lungs.
Digestive System
- Breaks down food into absorbable nutrients for cellular distribution.
- Eliminates indigestible food residues as feces, contributing to waste management.
Urinary System
- Responsible for the elimination of nitrogenous wastes from the body.
- Regulates water, electrolyte balance, and acid-base homeostasis in the blood.
Male Reproductive System
- Aims to produce offspring through the creation of sperm and male sex hormones by the testes.
- Structures support the transport and delivery of sperm to the female reproductive tract.
Female Reproductive System
- Produces eggs and female sex hormones, facilitating reproduction.
- Structures support fertilization and fetal development, including the uterus and uterine tubes.
- Mammary glands produce milk to nourish infants post-birth.
