    Study Notes

    Anatomy

    • Anatomy studies the structure and relationship between body parts
    • Physiology studies the function of body parts and the body as a whole

    Body Systems

    • The human body has 11 important organ systems:
      • Circulatory
      • Respiratory
      • Digestive
      • Excretory
      • Nervous
      • Endocrine
      • Immune
      • Integumentary
      • Skeletal
      • Muscle
      • Reproductive

    Main Systems of the Human Body

    Circulatory System

    • Circulates blood around the body via the heart, arteries, and veins
    • Delivers oxygen and nutrients to organs and cells
    • Carries waste products away
    • Keeps the body's temperature in a safe range

    Digestive and Excretory Systems

    • Absorbs nutrients and removes waste via the gastrointestinal tract
    • Eliminates waste from the body

    Endocrine System

    • Influences the function of the body using hormones

    Integumentary System/Exocrine System

    • Includes skin, hair, nails, sweat, and other exocrine glands

    Immune System and Lymphatic System

    • Defends the body against pathogens
    • A network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph

    Circulation

    • Pulmonary artery: carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
    • Pulmonary veins: carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
    • Aorta: the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body
    • Inferior vena cava: carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart
    • Right atrium: receives deoxygenated blood from the body
    • Right ventricle: pumps deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
    • Left atrium: receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
    • Left ventricle: pumps oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body

    Digestive System

    • Mouth: where food enters the body
    • Pharynx: where food passes through
    • Esophagus: where food is swallowed
    • Stomach: where food is digested
    • Small intestine: where nutrients are absorbed
    • Large intestine: where waste is processed
    • Associated organs: salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and appendix

    Endocrine System Diagram

    Male

    • Hypothalamus: controls the pituitary gland
    • Thyroid gland: affects metabolism
    • Parathyroids: regulate calcium levels in the blood
    • Testis: secretes male sex hormones
    • Adrenal glands: trigger the fight-or-flight response
    • Pancreas: regulates blood sugar levels

    Female

    • Hypothalamus: controls the pituitary gland
    • Thyroid gland: affects metabolism
    • Parathyroids: regulate calcium levels in the blood
    • Ovary: secretes female sex hormones
    • Adrenal glands: trigger the fight-or-flight response
    • Pancreas: regulates blood sugar levels

    Integumentary System

    • Skin: consists of epidermis, dermis, and fat layers
    • Hair: helps keep you warm
    • Nails: provide structure to the ends of fingers
    • Glands: release oils for moisture and protection
    • Nerves: send and receive messages to the brain
