Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Protects the body from external damage and pathogens.
- Regulates body temperature through sweat and blood flow.
- Synthesizes Vitamin D, essential for calcium absorption and bone health.
- Receives sensory input, allowing detection of touch, temperature, and pain.
- Major organ is the skin, which serves as the body's first line of defense.
Cardiovascular System
- Functions as a transport system for oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues.
- Facilitates the removal of waste products like carbon dioxide.
- Plays a critical role in regulating body temperature through blood circulation.
- The heart is the central organ, pumping blood throughout the body.
Lymphatic and Immune Systems
- Provides defense mechanisms against infections and diseases by combating invaders.
- Removes excess fluid from tissues, preventing swelling and maintaining fluid balance.
- Aids in the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system.
- Key organs include lymphatic vessels for fluid transport, lymph nodes for filtering, and the spleen for immune responses.
Digestive System
- Responsible for ingesting, digesting, and absorbing essential nutrients from food.
- Plays a significant role in the elimination of waste products from the body.
- Contributes to homeostasis by regulating energy levels and nutrient balance.
