Study Notes

Muscular System

When you twist your waist, the two muscles on that side contract, while the two muscles on the other side relax.
Muscle cells are long fibers that allow movement, and they work in bundles (tissues) to store and use energy.
Skeletal muscles are working in pairs and move in opposite directions.
They contract and relax to allow bones to move, and they can be controlled voluntarily.

Endocrine System

The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones that help the body prepare for different situations.
It controls body temperature and blood pressure.
During danger, the endocrine system secretes hormones that control the body's response, affecting other body systems.

Respiratory System

The respiratory system consists of lungs, diaphragm, and airways.
It provides the body with oxygen gas and gets rid of carbon dioxide gas.
When the diaphragm muscle contracts, the lungs take in air rich in oxygen, and when it relaxes, the lungs release air rich in carbon dioxide.

Circulatory System

The circulatory system depends on the lungs to function.
When the heart beats quickly, it pumps more blood to the muscles and organs, increasing blood pressure.

Body as a System

The body's systems work together in an integrated way to make the body function.
Each system has a different function, but they all work together to respond to different situations.
The body reacts differently in various situations, and body systems work together to produce physical responses.

Organization of the Human Body

Cells are organized to form tissues, which form organs, and organs form systems.
The muscular system, skeletal system, and nervous system work together to allow movement.
Many simple tasks require different systems to work together, such as the respiratory, circulatory, nervous, excretory, and musculoskeletal systems.
