Study Notes

Musculoskeletal System

  • Comprises bones (skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and joints
  • Supports the body, allows movement, and protects vital organs
  • Bones provide structural stability
  • Works with the skeletal system for movement
  • Works with the digestive system to push food through
  • Works with the respiratory system, diaphragm controls breathing

Integumentary System

  • An organ system composed of skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands
  • The skin is a vital organ, despite its thinness
  • Functions as a barrier against infection (first line of defense)
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Removes waste products like urea and water
  • Protects against UV radiation, producing vitamin D
  • Works with the nervous system to control body temperature
