Study Notes
Level of Organization
- Models help understand internal body parts and functions.
- Humans have many organ systems, including circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory.
- The heart is the circulatory system's central organ, acting as a pump to circulate blood.
- Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, veins return deoxygenated blood.
- Capillaries facilitate oxygen and nutrient exchange with cells.
- Kidneys filter blood, removing waste and excess water.
- Digestion breaks down food for nutrient absorption.
- The brain controls organ functions.
- Lungs facilitate breathing, taking in oxygen, and expelling carbon dioxide.
Organ Systems
- Nervous System:
- Major Organs: Brain, spinal cord, nerves.
- Simple Function: Controls body activities, sending signals between brain and body parts.
- Circulatory System:
- Major Organs: Heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries).
- Simple Function: Transports blood, carrying oxygen, nutrients, and removing waste.
- Respiratory System:
- Major Organs: Lungs, trachea, bronchi, diaphragm.
- Simple Function: Enables oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal.
- Digestive System:
- Major Organs: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, rectum, anus.
- Simple Function: Breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, eliminates waste.
- Excretory System:
- Major Organs: Kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra.
- Simple Function: Removes waste and excess substances from the body.
