Study Notes
Digestive System
- The digestive system breaks down food, turning it into usable nutrients
- It's a group of organs working together to absorb nutrients
- It includes the gastrointestinal tract (a long tube) along with salivary glands, liver, and pancreas
- Other organs include the esophagus, stomach, intestines, etc
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide
- This involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide
- Key parts include the nose, mouth, trachea, lungs, and associated structures
Excretory System
- This system removes waste products from the body, important for homeostasis
- It eliminates waste from the blood through urine
- Organs include the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Skin, liver, and lungs also contribute to waste removal
Nervous System
- The nervous system controls and coordinates body functions
- It regulates other systems, ensuring smooth bodily processes
- Crucial to maintaining homeostasis. It uses nerve impulses to send signals
