    Study Notes

    Human Body Systems

    • The Smallest Cell to a Complete Body System Functions Together:
      • Human life processes
      • Organization
      • Metabolism
      • Responsiveness
      • Movement
      • Reproduction
      • Growth
      • Respiration
      • Digestion
      • Excretion

    The 10 Body Systems

    • Skeletal: Provides a framework for the body.
    • Muscular: Allows body movement.
    • Circulatory: Moves blood through the body.
    • Nervous: Sends and receives messages.
    • Digestive: Supplies nutrients to the body.
    • Excretory: Eliminates wastes from the body.
    • Respiratory: Provides oxygen and eliminates CO2.
    • Endocrine: Controls growth, reproduction, health.
    • Reproductive: Generation of new life.

    Integumentary System

    • Covers and protects the entire body.
    • Made up of skin and its accessory organs (sensory receptors, hair, nails, oil and sweat glands).
    • Largest organ of the body.
    • First-line defense against infection and water loss.
    • Regulates temperature.
    • Perceives sensation and produces vitamin D.
    • Has absorption capabilities.
    • Skin and its accessory organs (oil and sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair, and nails) are crucial components in a skin care therapist's success.

    Skeletal System

    • Supports the body and enables movement with muscles.
    • Contains cartilage, bone, and joints.
    • Important in protecting body mechanics and landmarks.
    • Provides shape and structure.
    • Protects internal organs.
    • Provides muscle attachment sites.
    • Produces blood cells.
    • Stores calcium.

    Circulatory System

    • Delivers oxygen and nutrients; equalizes body temperature.
    • Works with lymphatic channels.
    • Health of this system affects skin tissue.
    • Contains the heart, blood vessels and blood.

    Muscular System

    • Works with the skeletal system for body temperature regulation.
    • Covers, shapes and supports skeletal tissue.
    • Contracts and moves parts of the body (muscles).
    • Important for massage and electrical treatments.
    • Prevents motion fatigue.

    Nervous System

    • Activates body responses and processes sensory information.
    • Contains brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
    • Important to know location of facial nerves for treatments.
    • Contains sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

    Digestive System

    • Processes food, absorbs nutrients, and removes wastes.
    • Contains organs like stomach, liver, gall bladder, large intestine, and small intestine.
    • Good nutrition supports all body systems.

    Excretory System

    • Controls water balance.
    • Removes waste from blood.
    • Excretory organs are kidneys and urinary bladder.

    Respiratory System

    • Enables breathing.
    • Supplies the body with oxygen & removes carbon dioxide.
    • Includes nasal passages, trachea, and lungs.
    • Adequate oxygenation supports cell function.

    Endocrine System

    • Secretes hormones and regulates bodily processes.
    • Affects growth, development, and sexual activities.
    • Consists of specialized glands (pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal, testes, and ovaries).
    • Hormones affect skin health (acne breakouts, hair growth, and skin oiliness or dryness).

    Immune / Lymphatic System

    • Returns fluid to blood.
    • Defends against pathogens.
    • Develops resistance to disease.
    • Includes thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, and lymphatic vessels.
    • Important role in many treatments.

    Reproductive System

    • Produces children and transmits genetics.
    • Involves combining tissues to function as organs.
    • Cells working together form tissues, grouping of tissues form organs.

    Skin Foundations - Oxidative Stress

    • Skin care is about internal and external health.
    • Chronic oxidative stress accelerates skin aging (loss of collagen/elastin, wrinkles, sagging, dark spots).
    • Oxidative stress impacts skin barrier function, sensitivity, and moisture.
    • Nutrition influences cellular beauty. Cells need proper nutrition, oxygen and water.

    Hyperpigmentation

    • Excessive UV radiation is a common cause.
    • UV radiation increases melanin production, darkening the skin.
    • Intrinsic factors (hormonal imbalances) can also contribute to hyperpigmentation.
    • Proper nutrition (from fruits, vegetables, oxygen, and water) can support healthy cell function. Excessive sugar, dairy and other inappropriate foods can contribute to oxidative stress.
