Study Notes
Nervous System
- The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord
- The peripheral nervous system consists of all nerves that transmit messages to and from the central nervous system
- The somatic nervous system is a voluntary nervous system responsible for all voluntary movement
- The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary nervous system responsible for all involuntary actions of the body, with two divisions: sympathetic nervous system (excites the body) and parasympathetic nervous system (slows the body)
- A reflex is an impulse that travels straight from the body to the spinal cord, producing a response, such as jerking your hand away when touching a hot surface
Integumentary System
- The integumentary system consists of the skin, hair, and nails
- Skin provides a protective barrier from the environment and helps regulate body temperature
- The skin has three layers: epidermis (outermost layer), dermis (middle layer), and subcutaneous layer (innermost layer composed of fat)
- Hair helps with protection and temperature regulation
- Nails help manipulate and pick up objects
Human Body
- The human body consists of the skeletal system, muscular system, and other systems
- The hip bone is the ilium and sacrum, and the pelvic bones include pubis and ischium
- The thigh bone is the femur, the knee bone is the patella, the leg bone is the tibia and fibula, and the foot bone includes tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges
- The shoulder girdle consists of the clavicle and scapula, and allows for circular movement of the upper extremities
- The upper extremities consist of the upper and lower arm, wrist, and bones of the hands
Muscular System
- There are 600 muscles in the body, each with its own special purpose
- Most muscles work in pairs: as one muscle contracts, the opposing muscle relaxes
- Muscles are made up of bundles of fibers bundled together with an insulating cover
- A nerve is attached to each muscle and causes the muscle to contract when stimulated
- Examples of muscles include masseter (cheek), sternocleidomastoid (neck), deltoid (shoulder), pectoralis major (chest), biceps (arm), triceps (side of arm), rectus abdominis (abdomen), external oblique (side of abdomen), sartorius (below the hip), adductor femoris (genital region), quadriceps femoris (thigh), vastus medialis (above the knee), gastrocnemius (side of leg), and tibialis anterior (below the knee)
Digestive System
- The digestive system consists of a long tube called the alimentary canal and accessory organs of digestion
- The two processes of digestion are mechanical (chewing, swallowing, peristalsis, and defecation) and chemical digestion
