Study Notes
Human Body Systems
Circulatory System
- Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products
- Main organs: heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)
- Functions:
- Pumping blood throughout the body (heart)
- Oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells (arteries and capillaries)
- Waste removal from cells (veins)
Respiratory System
- Brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide
- Main organs: lungs, trachea, bronchi, diaphragm
- Functions:
- Breathing in oxygen (inhalation)
- Breathing out carbon dioxide (exhalation)
- Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
Nervous System
- Controls and coordinates body functions
- Main organs: brain, spinal cord, nerves
- Functions:
- Receiving and interpreting sensory information (brain)
- Sending messages to muscles and glands (nerves)
- Controlling involuntary actions (e.g. heartbeat, breathing)
Digestive System
- Breaks down food into nutrients for energy and growth
- Main organs: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
- Functions:
- Mechanical breakdown of food (mouth and stomach)
- Chemical breakdown of food (stomach and small intestine)
- Absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream (small intestine)
Skeletal System
- Provides support, protection, and movement for the body
- Main organs: bones, cartilages, ligaments
- Functions:
- Supporting the body's structure
- Protecting internal organs (e.g. ribcage, skull)
- Facilitating movement (e.g. joints, muscles)
Key Concepts
- Interdependence of body systems: each system works together to maintain overall health
- Homeostasis: the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions
