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.
