Study Notes

Body Systems

  • The integumentary system is the largest organ in the body
  • It is the first line of defense against infection and water loss
  • It regulates temperature, perceives sensations, produces vitamin D, and absorbs nutrients
  • The skin and its accessory organs (sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair, and nails) form this system

Skeletal System

  • It forms the physical foundation of the body
  • It consists of bones, and movable and immovable joints

Muscular System

  • It covers, shapes, and supports skeletal tissue
  • Muscles contract and support the skeleton

Nervous System

  • Carries messages through the central nervous system
  • It controls and coordinates body functions

Circulatory System

  • Controls blood delivery to the rest of the body
  • Works with the lymphatic channels

Immune/Lymphatic System

  • Protects the body from diseases
  • Develops resistance and destroys disease-causing toxins and foreign material

Endocrine System

  • Affects growth, development, and sexual activities
  • Regulates processes in the body through specialised glands (like adrenal, pituitary, and pancreas)

Reproductive System

  • Performs the function of producing children
  • Passes genetics through generations
  • Differentiates between the sexes

Respiratory System

  • Enables breathing, supplies oxygen, and eliminates carbon dioxide

Digestive System

  • Breaks down food
  • Absorbs nutrients
