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.
