Study Notes
Digestive System
- The digestive system breaks down food for nutrient absorption and waste removal.
- Parts include the mouth for chewing and saliva addition, esophagus for transport, stomach for chemical breakdown, small intestine for nutrient absorption, large intestine for water absorption, liver for bile production, pancreas for enzymes, and gallbladder for bile storage.
- Digestion involves mechanical (chewing, churning) and chemical (enzymes, acids) processes.
Circulatory System
- The circulatory system transports blood, oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
- The heart is the pump, moving blood through arteries (oxygen-rich), veins (oxygen-poor), and capillaries (exchange).
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system facilitates gas exchange, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
- Parts include nose/mouth, trachea, lungs (alveoli), and diaphragm.
- Breathing involves inhalation (air intake) and exhalation (air expulsion).
Musculoskeletal System
- The musculoskeletal system provides structure, support, and movement.
- Components include bones (for protection and structure), ligaments (bone connections), cartilage (joint cushioning), and muscles (for movement).
- Muscles are categorized as skeletal (voluntary), smooth (involuntary digestive system), or cardiac (involuntary heart).
Nervous System
- The nervous system controls body functions through signal transmission.
- Parts include the brain (controls thoughts and actions), spinal cord (carries signals), and nerves (transmit signals).
- Neurons (nerve cells) have dendrites, axons, and synapses for signal transmission.
- Reflexes are involuntary responses.
