Study Notes
Organ Systems
- Nervous System: controls and coordinates body functions, consists of Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
- Circulatory System: transports oxygen and nutrients to cells, consists of heart, blood vessels, and blood
- Respiratory System: brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide, consists of lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm
- Digestive System: breaks down food into nutrients, consists of mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine
- Endocrine System: produces and regulates hormones, consists of glands such as pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands
- Immune System: defends the body against pathogens, consists of lymphoid organs, tissues, and cells
- Muscular System: moves the body and maintains posture, consists of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles
- Skeletal System: provides support and protection, consists of bones, ligaments, and tendons
- Urinary System: filters waste and excess fluids, consists of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
- Integumentary System: protects the body from external damage, consists of skin, hair, nails, and associated glands
Body Regions
- Head: contains the brain, sense organs, and facial features
- Neck: connects the head to the torso
- Thorax: contains the heart and lungs
- Abdomen: contains the digestive organs
- Pelvis: contains the reproductive organs and lower back muscles
- Upper Limb: consists of shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist, and hand
- Lower Limb: consists of hip, thigh, leg, ankle, and foot
Body Cavities
- Cranial Cavity: contains the brain
- Thoracic Cavity: contains the heart and lungs
- 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: allows for movement and contraction
- Nervous Tissue: transmits and processes information
Directional Terms
- Anterior: front of the body
- Posterior: back of the body
- Superior: above or upper part of the body
- Inferior: below or lower part of the body
- Medial: towards the midline of the body
- Lateral: away from the midline of the body
- Proximal: closer to the point of attachment
- Distal: farther from the point of attachment
