Study Notes
Organ Systems
- Nervous system: brain, spinal cord, nerves (control and coordination)
- Circulatory system: heart, blood vessels, blood (transportation of oxygen and nutrients)
- Respiratory system: lungs, trachea, bronchi (exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide)
- Digestive system: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (breakdown and absorption of nutrients)
- Endocrine system: glands (hormone production and regulation)
- Immune system: lymphoid organs, tissues, and cells (defense against pathogens)
- Integumentary system: skin, hair, nails, associated glands (protection and sensation)
- Muscular system: skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, cardiac muscle (movement and contraction)
- Skeletal system: bones, joints, ligaments (support and protection)
- Urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra (waste removal and filtration)
Body Regions
- Head: skull, face, brain
- Neck: cervical vertebrae, throat
- Torso: chest, abdomen, back
- Upper limb: shoulder, arm, forearm, hand
- Lower limb: hip, thigh, leg, foot
- Pelvis: pelvic bone, sacrum, coccyx
Body Cavities
- Cranial cavity: contains the brain
- Thoracic cavity: contains the heart, lungs, and thoracic organs
- Abdominal cavity: contains the digestive organs
- Pelvic cavity: contains the reproductive organs
Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue: forms the lining of organs and glands
- Connective tissue: provides support and structure
- Muscle tissue: contracts and moves the body
- Nervous tissue: transmits and processes information
Directional Terms
- Anterior: towards the front
- Posterior: towards the back
- Superior: towards the head
- Inferior: towards the feet
- Medial: towards the midline
- Lateral: away from the midline
- Proximal: towards the point of attachment
- Distal: away from the point of attachment
Organ Systems
- Nervous system consists of brain, spinal cord, and nerves, responsible for control and coordination.
- Circulatory system comprises heart, blood vessels, and blood, facilitating transportation of oxygen and nutrients.
- Respiratory system is made up of lungs, trachea, and bronchi, responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Digestive system includes mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, involved in breaking down and absorbing nutrients.
- Endocrine system consists of glands, responsible for hormone production and regulation.
- Immune system comprises lymphoid organs, tissues, and cells, which defend against pathogens.
- Integumentary system consists of skin, hair, nails, and associated glands, providing protection and sensation.
- Muscular system includes skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscle, responsible for movement and contraction.
- Skeletal system consists of bones, joints, and ligaments, providing support and protection.
- Urinary system comprises kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, responsible for waste removal and filtration.
