Study Notes
Skeletal System Overview
- Comprises bones, joints, and associated cartilages throughout the body.
- Essential framework providing structure and shape to the human body.
Functions of the Skeletal System
- Support and Protection: Acts as a sturdy framework that supports body tissues and protects vital organs from injury.
- Muscle Attachment: Offers surfaces for muscle attachment, facilitating movement through leverage.
- Movement Assistance: Works in conjunction with the muscular system to enable a wide range of body movements.
- Blood Cell Production: Houses bone marrow, which is responsible for producing red and white blood cells, contributing to the body's circulatory and immune systems.
- Mineral and Lipid Storage: Serves as a reservoir for minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus, and stores lipids (fats) in yellow bone marrow, crucial for energy storage and metabolism.

Components of the Muscular System
- Skeletal muscle tissue is primarily responsible for voluntary movements and is typically attached to bones.
- Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs (like the intestines and blood vessels) and operates involuntarily.
- Cardiac muscle is specifically located in the heart and also functions involuntarily, facilitating the heart's rhythmic contractions.
Functions of the Muscular System
- Participates in body movements by contracting and relaxing muscles, allowing for activities such as walking, running, and jumping.
- Maintains posture through the continuous contraction of skeletal muscles, counteracting the force of gravity to keep the body upright.
- Produces heat as a byproduct of muscle contractions, contributing to the regulation of body temperature, especially during physical activity.
Nervous System Components
- Comprises the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, forming the central and peripheral nervous systems.
- Includes special sense organs like the eyes and ears, which play a crucial role in sensory perception.
Functions of the Nervous System
- Generates action potentials, the electrical signals that regulate various physiological activities throughout the body.
- Detects changes in both the internal environment (e.g., hormonal levels, temperature) and external environment (e.g., light, sound).
- Interprets sensory information to understand and assess the body's condition and surroundings.
- Initiates responses by causing muscular contractions for movement or stimulating glandular secretions for various bodily functions.
