Study Notes

Skeletal System

Skull bones, including the frontal and parietal bones, contribute to the structure of the human head.
The sternum, ribs, and scapulae play vital roles in protection and support of the thoracic cavity.

Irregular Bones

Irregular bones possess complex shapes and do not conform to general categories, impacting their functional roles in the skeletal system.

Muscular System

Skeletal muscles enable voluntary movement and are directly attached to bones.
Muscle tissue types include:
- Skeletal Muscle: Voluntary and striated, facilitating movement.
- Smooth Muscle: Involuntary and non-striated, found in internal organs.
- Cardiac Muscle: Specialized involuntary tissue found in the heart.

Respiratory System

Lungs serve as the primary organs where gas exchange occurs, facilitating the intake of oxygen and expulsion of carbon dioxide.
Alveoli: Tiny air sacs in the lungs, essential for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Digestive System

Accessory Organs: Supplement the digestive process and include essential components such as:
- Salivary Glands: Produce saliva that contains enzymes to initiate carbohydrate digestion.

Immune System

Lymphocytes: Crucial immune system cells that include:
- T cells: Attack infected cells directly.
- B cells: Responsible for producing antibodies to target pathogens.
