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
