Study Notes
Human Body Systems Overview
- The human body consists of interconnected systems that maintain life.
Skeletal System
- Composed of bones and cartilages, totaling 206 bones in an adult.
- Divided into axial (bones of the head and trunk) and appendicular (limbs and girdles).
- Functions include support, movement, protection, blood cell production, calcium storage, and hormone regulation.
- Joints, where bones connect, are supported by cartilage and ligaments.
Muscular System
- Made up of smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscles.
- Smooth muscles line blood vessels and hollow organs; cardiac muscle forms the heart; only skeletal muscles are under voluntary control.
Cardiovascular System
- Consists of the heart with four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) and blood vessels.
- Responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.
- Heart valves prevent backflow of blood.
Respiratory System
- Comprises the upper (nasal cavity, pharynx) and lower (larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs) respiratory organs.
- Main function is gas exchange: bringing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.
Lymphatic System
- A network of vessels that drains excess fluid (lymph) and supports immune response through lymph nodes.
- Primary organs include thymus and red bone marrow; secondary organs include lymph nodes, tonsils, and spleen.
- Functions to eliminate toxins and waste, recirculate proteins, and defend against microorganisms.
Digestive System
- Involves the gastrointestinal tract (mouth to anal canal) and accessory organs (liver, pancreas, etc.).
- Breaks down food into smaller compounds for nutrient absorption.
- Digestive processes are supported by hormones and nerve signals.
Endocrine System
- Comprises specialized glands producing hormones that regulate bodily functions.
- Hormones like triiodothyronine (metabolism) and estrogen/progesterone (menstrual cycle) play significant roles.
- Acts as a messenger system, influencing distant organs via the circulatory system.
Reproductive System
- Composed of external and internal sex organs, differing significantly between male and female.
- Female organs support egg production and fetal development (ovaries, uterus, vagina).
- Male organs facilitate sperm production and delivery (testes, penis, epididymis).
Urinary System
- Consists of kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, functioning as a waste elimination system.
- Kidneys filter blood and form urine, which is stored in the bladder before excretion.
- Regulates blood volume, pressure, electrolyte levels, and blood pH.
Body Posture
- Understanding posture is crucial as improper alignment can lead to pain and reduced flexibility.
- Good posture affects overall balance and range of motion, influencing back and neck health.
Fundamental Body Movements
- Divided into locomotor (moving body), non-locomotor (movement without travel), and manipulative (using objects).
Locomotor Movements
- Includes walking, running, hopping, leaping, jumping (even movements) and skipping, galloping, sliding (uneven movements).
Non-locomotor Movements
- Involve movements like bending, twisting, lifting, and swinging, often combined with locomotor actions.
