    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.
