Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Comprises the skin and its appendages: hair, nails, sweat glands, and subcutaneous tissue.
- Acts as the body's protective outer layer and functions as a sensitive organ.
Skeletal System
- Consists of bones and cartilage, providing shape and support to the body.
- Facilitates movement and protects vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and pelvic organs.
Articular System
- Made up of joints and their associated ligaments.
- Connects bones of the skeletal system, allowing for various movements.
Muscular System
- Composed of skeletal muscles that contract to enable movement and positioning of body parts.
- Includes smooth muscles for fluid regulation and cardiac muscles for heart function.
Nervous System
- Divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (nerves and ganglia).
- Regulates and coordinates organ functions and environmental responses.
- Sensory organs (nose, eyes, ears, tongue) are often studied in conjunction with the nervous system.
Circulatory System
- Includes both cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, essential for fluid transport throughout the body.
Cardiovascular System
- Consists of the heart and blood vessels.
- Transports blood, oxygen, nutrients, and hormones while removing waste products from the body.
Lymphatic System
- A network of lymphatic vessels that removes excess interstitial fluid from tissues.
- Filters fluid through lymph nodes and returns it to the circulatory system.
