Study Notes
- These are notes on the systems of the human body
Digestive System
- Mouth: food intake and initial digestion occur
- Esophagus: connects the mouth to the stomach, allowing food to pass.
- Stomach: food is mixed with digestive enzymes and acids to break it down.
- Small Intestine: most nutrient absorption happens here, includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
- Large Intestine: absorbs water and salts, forming stool.
- Liver: produces bile to digest fats and processes nutrients.
- Pancreas: produces digestive enzymes and insulin to regulate blood sugar.
- Gall Bladder: stores bile from the liver and releases it to aid in digestion.
Endocrine System
- Pancreas: regulates blood sugar by releasing insulin and glucagon.
- Thyroid: produces hormones that regulate metabolism, energy, and growth.
- Adrenal Glands: produce hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that help manage stress and regulate metabolism.
Integumentary System
- Skin: protects the body, regulates temperature, and allows sensations like touch.
Excretory/Urinary System
- Kidneys: filter waste from the blood and produce urine.
- Bladder: stores urine.
- Ureters: carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
- Urethra: urine is expelled from the body through this.
Nervous System
- Brain: control center of the body.
- Eyes: vision.
- Cerebellum: part of the brain that helps coordinate movement and balance.
Muscular System
- Muscles: movement and posture.
Skeletal System
- Bones: structure, protect organs, and store calcium.
- Joints: where two bones meet, allowing movement.
- Cartilage: cushions joints and supports certain structures.
Circulatory System
- Heart: pumps blood.
- Blood Vessels: transport blood.
- Blood: carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste.
Respiratory System
- Lungs: facilitate gas exchange.
- Trachea: carries air to the lungs.
Reproductive system
- Testes: produce sperm and testosterone.
- Ovaries: produce eggs and hormones like estrogen.
- Uterus: where a fertilized egg grows during pregnancy.
