Study Notes
Respiratory System
- Function includes intake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide.
- Key organs are the lungs, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.
Integumentary System
- Provides protection from external environment and pathogens.
- Regulates body temperature and eliminates waste.
- Comprises skin, nails, and hair.
Muscular System
- Responsible for the movement of cardiovascular, digestive, and skeletal systems.
- Contains cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle.
Circulatory System
- Delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells while removing carbon dioxide waste.
- Main organs include the heart, arteries, veins, and blood.
Digestive System
- Functions to bring nutrients and water into the body.
- Organs involved are mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, rectum, and salivary glands.
Urinary System
- Eliminates liquid waste from the body.
- Composed of kidneys, bladder, and urethra.
Nervous System
- Facilitates communication via electrical impulses and regulates other body systems.
- Key structures include the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory organs (eyes, ears, tongue, nose).
Immune System
- Functions to kill and remove foreign invaders such as pathogens.
- Primarily consists of white blood cells.
Skeletal System
- Provides support, protection, facilitates movement, stores minerals, and produces blood cells.
- Made up of bones, cartilage, joints, and ligaments.
Endocrine System
- Sends messages throughout the body using chemical signals (hormones).
- Key organs are the hypothalamus, thymus, thyroid, adrenal gland, pancreas, testis, and ovary.
Reproductive System
- Transmits genetic information by producing offspring through sexual reproduction.
- Organs include testes, epididymis, urethra, prostate, ovary, and vagina.
Lymphatic System
- Drains excess fluid and supports immune response by producing immune cells.
- Comprised of the spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, and tonsils.
