    Study Notes

    Pathophysiology and Disease Aging

    • Involves functional changes that occur with disease processes and aging.

    Levels of Structural Organization and Body Systems

    • The human body has multiple organ systems that function together.

    Introduction to Different Body Systems

    Integumentary System

    • Components: Skin, hair, fingernails, toenails, sweat glands, oil glands.
    • Functions:
      • Protects the body.
      • Regulates body temperature.
      • Eliminates wastes.
      • Synthesizes vitamin D.
      • Detects sensations.
      • Stores fat.
      • Provides insulation.

    Musculoskeletal System

    • Components: Bones, joints, cartilages.
    • Functions:
      • Supports and protects the body.
      • Provides surfaces for muscle attachment and facilitates body movements.
      • Houses cells that produce blood cells.
      • Stores minerals and lipids.

    Muscular System

    • Components: Skeletal muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue.
    • Functions:
      • Enables body movements.
      • Maintains posture.
      • Generates heat.

    Nervous System

    • Components: Brain, spinal cord, nerves, special sense organs (eyes and ears).
    • Functions:
      • Generates action potentials.
      • Detects changes in internal and external environments.
      • Interprets sensory changes.
      • Site of maturation and proliferation of T and B cells for immune defense.

    Respiratory System

    • Components: Lungs, air passageways (pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes).
    • Functions:
      • Transfers oxygen and carbon dioxide.
      • Regulates acid-base balance.
      • Produces sound.

    Digestive System

    • Components: Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus, accessory organs (salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas).
    • Functions:
      • Achieves physical and chemical breakdown of food.
      • Absorbs nutrients.
      • Eliminates solid waste.

    Urinary System

    • Components: Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra.
    • Functions:
      • Produces, stores, and eliminates urine.
      • Eliminates wastes and regulates blood volume/chemical composition.
      • Maintains acid-base balance.
      • Balances minerals.
      • Regulates red blood cell production.

    Body Cavities and Membranes

    Thoracic and Abdominal Cavity Membranes

    • Pleura

      • Visceral pleura: Adheres to lung surface.
      • Parietal pleura: Lines chest wall.

    • Pericardium

      • Visceral pericardium: Covers heart's surface.
      • Parietal pericardium: Lines cavity walls.

    • Peritoneum

      • Visceral peritoneum: Covers abdominal organs.
      • Parietal peritoneum: Lines abdominal wall, covering diaphragm's inferior surface.
