    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.
