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

- 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.
