Body Systems Table 2-1
-
Integumentary System:
- Largest organ, first line of defense against infection and water loss.
- Regulates temperature.
- Perceives sensation.
- Produces vitamin D and has absorption capabilities.
- Composed of skin and accessory organs (sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair, nails).
- Important for understanding skin care success.
-
Skeletal System:
- Forms the physical foundation of the body.
- Composed of bones, movable and immovable joints.
- Important for protecting the body's mechanics and physical landmarks in treatments.
-
Muscular System:
- Covers, shapes, and supports skeletal tissue.
- Contracts and moves various body parts.
- Important for massage, makeup applications, and electrical treatments.
-
Nervous System:
- Carries messages (through the central nervous system), controlling and coordinating all bodily functions.
- Includes brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
- Important for understanding facial nerve locations and muscle movements.
- Understanding muscle movement prevents repetitive motion fatigue.
-
Circulatory System:
- Controls steady blood delivery throughout the body; works with the lymphatic system.
- Composed of heart and blood vessels.
- Important for understanding the health of the circulatory system which affects skin tissue health.
