Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Forms the body's outer covering (skin, hair, nails)
- Protects against pathogens and regulates body temperature
- Involved in sensation (touch, pressure)
Skeletal System
- Supports and protects the body
- Provides framework for movement
- Bones store minerals (calcium, phosphorus)
- Contains bone marrow for blood cell production
Muscular System0
- Enables movement of the body
- Different types (skeletal, smooth, cardiac)
- Skeletal muscles contract to move bones
Nervous System
- Coordinates body functions
- Composed of brain, spinal cord, nerves
- Transmits signals for rapid communication
Cardiovascular System
- Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste
- Heart pumps blood through blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
- Blood carries oxygen throughout the body
Respiratory System
- Enables gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
- Lungs facilitate this exchange
- Involves breathing (inhalation and exhalation)
Lymphatic & Immune System
- Protects against disease
- Lymph nodes filter lymph (fluid)
- White blood cells fight infection
Digestive System
- Breaks down food into absorbable nutrients
- Includes organs like stomach, intestines, liver
- Absorbs nutrients from ingested food
Urinary System
- Removes waste products from the blood
- Kidneys filter blood to produce urine
- Maintaining proper fluid balance in the body.
Endocrine System
- Regulates bodily functions through hormones
- Glands such as the thyroid and adrenal produce hormones
- Controls many aspects of growth, metabolism, and reproduction
