Study Notes
Body Systems Overview
- Receptors: Respond to temperature changes, facilitating sensory awareness.
- Glands: Include oil and sweat glands, crucial for skin health and temperature regulation.
-
Skeletal System:
- Provides structural support and attachment sites for muscles.
- Protects internal organs, such as the heart and lungs.
- Bone marrow produces blood cells; stores minerals like Calcium (Ca²⁺).
Muscle and Movement
-
Muscular System:
- Enables body movement and provides structural stability.
- Generates heat during physical activity.
- Facilitates facial expressions and energy storage.
Cardiovascular and Immunity
-
Cardiovascular System:
- Pumps and transports blood throughout the body.
- Carries oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nutrients, wastes, ions, and hormones.
-
Lymphatic/Immune System:
- Filters lymph and blood, fighting infections.
- Returns leaked fluid to blood circulation and maintains fluid balance.
Respiratory and Digestive Functions
-
Respiratory System:
- Supplies oxygen (O₂) and removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the body.
-
Digestive System:
- Breaks down food for nutrient absorption and eliminates waste.
Reproductive Systems
-
Male Reproductive System:
- Testes produce sperm and testosterone.
-
Female Reproductive System:
- Ovaries produce ova and estrogen.
Essential Characteristics for Life
-
Maintaining Boundaries:
- Macro: Skin separates internal organs from the external environment.
- Micro: Cell membranes regulate internal and external environments.
-
Movement: Facilitated by:
- Musculoskeletal system (body movement).
- Cardiovascular system (blood circulation).
- Digestive system (nutrient transport).
- Urinary system (filtration).
-
Responsiveness or Excitability:
- Mediated by the nervous system, allows detection and reaction to environmental changes.
-
Digestion: The digestive system processes food for nutrient absorption.
-
Metabolism:
- Encompasses all biochemical reactions necessary for sustaining life.
- Anabolic processes build molecules (e.g., glycogenesis).
- Catabolic processes break down molecules for energy (e.g., glycolysis).
-
Excretion:
- Removal of metabolic wastes produced during digestion and metabolism.
Body Cavities and Membranes
-
Pericardial Cavity: Encloses the heart.
-
Abdominopelvic Cavity:
- Contains the abdominal structures (liver, stomach, intestines) and pelvic organs (bladder, reproductive organs).
-
Serous Membranes:
- Parietal serosa: Lines internal body cavity walls.
- Visceral serosa: Covers internal organs, reducing friction through serous fluid.
Body Regions
- Abdominopelvic Regions: Each region corresponds to specific organs for anatomical localization and clinical reference.
