Study Notes
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.
- Knowing circulatory issues is important for contraindications and precautions regarding treatments.
-
Immune/Lymphatic System:
- Protects the body from disease, developing resistance, and destroying disease-causing toxins and foreign material.
- Involves Spleen and lymph.
- Many treatments require actions within this system, including lymphatic massage.
-
Endocrine System:
- Affects growth, development, sexual activities, and normal regulatory processes of the body.
- Composed of specialized glands including the adrenal gland, pituitary gland, and pancreas.
- Hormones excreted have significant effects on skin.
-
Reproductive System:
- Produces and passes on genetics, differentiating between the sexes.
- Composed of organs like uterus, ovaries, penis, and testes.
- Understand hormonal influences regarding skin care treatments.
-
Respiratory System:
- Enables breathing, supplies the body with oxygen, and eliminates carbon dioxide.
- Includes lungs, trachea, bronchi.
- Crucial for adequate tissue oxygenation and cell function.
-
Digestive System:
- Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.
- Includesophagus.
- Necessary for good nutrition.
-
Excretory System:
- Eliminates waste matter.
- Composed of kidneys, bladder, stomach, gall bladder, liver, small and large intestines.
- Essential for optimum functioning of all body systems.
