    Study Notes

    Overview of Human Body Systems

    • The human body is composed of 11 major systems that work together to maintain homeostasis and ensure proper functioning.
    • These systems are:
      1. Nervous system
      2. Circulatory system
      3. Respiratory system
      4. Digestive system
      5. Endocrine system
      6. Immune system
      7. Muscular system
      8. Skeletal system
      9. Urinary system
      10. Integumentary system
      11. Reproductive system

    Nervous System

    • Controls and coordinates body functions
    • Consists of:
      • Central nervous system (CNS): brain and spinal cord
      • Peripheral nervous system (PNS): nerves
    • Functions:
      • Receives and interprets sensory information
      • Transmits signals to muscles and glands
      • Regulates body temperature, hunger, and thirst

    Circulatory System

    • Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products
    • Consists of:
      • Heart
      • Arteries
      • Veins
      • Blood vessels
    • Functions:
      • Pumps blood throughout the body
      • Regulates blood pressure
      • Maintains healthy blood flow

    Respiratory System

    • Brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide
    • Consists of:
      • Nose and mouth
      • Throat
      • Lungs
      • Trachea
    • Functions:
      • Inhales oxygen-rich air
      • Exhales carbon dioxide-rich air
      • Regulates breathing rate

    Digestive System

    • Breaks down food into nutrients for energy and growth
    • Consists of:
      • Mouth
      • Esophagus
      • Stomach
      • Small intestine
      • Liver
      • Pancreas
    • Functions:
      • Breaks down food into nutrients
      • Absorbs nutrients into bloodstream
      • Eliminates waste products

    Endocrine System

    • Produces and regulates hormones
    • Consists of:
      • Pituitary gland
      • Thyroid gland
      • Adrenal glands
      • Pancreas
      • Ovaries (in females)
      • Testes (in males)
    • Functions:
      • Regulates growth and development
      • Controls metabolism
      • Maintains homeostasis

    Immune System

    • Protects the body against pathogens and diseases
    • Consists of:
      • White blood cells
      • Lymph nodes
      • Spleen
      • Thymus
    • Functions:
      • Recognizes and attacks pathogens
      • Removes foreign substances
      • Maintains immune memory

    Muscular System

    • Allows for movement and maintains posture
    • Consists of:
      • Skeletal muscles
      • Smooth muscles
      • Cardiac muscles
    • Functions:
      • Moves bones and joints
      • Regulates body temperature
      • Maintains blood pressure

    Skeletal System

    • Provides support, protection, and movement for the body
    • Consists of:
      • Bones
      • Joints
      • Ligaments
    • Functions:
      • Supports body weight
      • Protects internal organs
      • Allows for movement

    Urinary System

    • Filters waste and excess fluids from the blood
    • Consists of:
      • Kidneys
      • Ureters
      • Bladder
      • Urethra
    • Functions:
      • Filters waste and excess fluids
      • Regulates electrolyte balance
      • Maintains blood pressure

    Integumentary System

    • Protects the body from external damage and regulates body temperature
    • Consists of:
      • Skin
      • Hair
      • Nails
      • Sweat glands
    • Functions:
      • Regulates body temperature
      • Protects against external damage
      • Maintains healthy skin

    Reproductive System

    • Produces sex cells and supports the development of a fetus during pregnancy
    • Consists of:
      • Male reproductive system: testes, epididymis, vas deferens, prostate gland, penis
      • Female reproductive system: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina
    • Functions:
      • Produces sex cells
      • Supports fetal development during pregnancy
      • Regulates hormones and sexual function
