Study Notes
- The human body relies on 11 major systems for survival.
- The integumentary system, consisting of the skin, acts as a protective barrier, regulates temperature, and allows touch.
- The skeletal system is composed of bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints, allowing movement and protection.
- The muscular system, responsible for both internal and external movement, includes three major types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles.
- The urinary system filters blood, producing urine and eliminating waste.
- The respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the blood, primarily through the lungs.
- The digestive system ingests food, breaks it down for nutrient absorption, and eliminates waste.
- The endocrine system communicates chemically through hormones, such as adrenaline.
- The reproductive system produces offspring.
- The lymphatic system filters lymph and blood, destroying foreign microorganisms.
- The nervous system sends electrical signals to cause movement or regulate functions, composed of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
- The circulatory system, made up of the heart, veins, and arteries, is responsible for pumping blood and transporting nutrients.
- Kindness is encouraged as a positive act.
