Study Notes

Module Overview

  • Introduces basic concepts of human body organs and systems as well as foundational biology.
  • Covers multiple body systems including circulatory, excretory, digestive, reproductive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, integumentary, endocrine, lymphatic, and respiratory systems.

Circulatory System

  • Role: Transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, heat, water, nutrients, and wastes throughout the body.
  • Major organs: Heart, arteries, veins.

Excretory System

  • Role: Filters wastes from blood and maintains internal nutrient balance.
  • Eliminates waste through the urethra.
  • Major organs: Kidneys, urethra, bladder.

Digestive System

  • Role: Breaks down macromolecules and absorbs essential nutrients.
  • Liver serves multiple functions for various systems, primarily linked to digestion.
  • Major organs: Stomach, large intestine (LI), small intestine (SI).

Reproductive System

  • Role: Produces offspring and regulates sexual characteristics.
  • Major organs: Testes, uterus, ovaries.

Skeletal System

  • Provides structural support and shape to the body.
  • Bone marrow is responsible for the production of new blood cells and storing lipids.
  • Major organs: Bones, cartilage.

Muscular System

  • Role: Facilitates body movement.
  • Major organ: Skeletal muscle.

Nervous System

  • Functions as the control system, coordinating body actions and responses.
  • Major organs: Brain, spinal cord, nerves.
  • Regulates heart rate and controls blood oxygen levels.

Integumentary System

  • Role: Protects the body, regulates temperature, and provides sensory feedback.
  • Major organs: Skin, nails.
  • Helps control body temperature through sweat and heat dissipation.

Endocrine System

  • Role: Circulates hormones to regulate body functions and maintain homeostasis.
  • Major organs: Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, hypothalamus.

Lymphatic System

  • Role: Supports the circulatory system and houses immune response cells.
  • Major organs: Lymph nodes.

Respiratory System

  • Serves as the ventilation system for gas exchange.
  • Major organs: Lungs, diaphragm, trachea.
  • Responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide from the blood.
