Study Notes
Abdominal and Cavity Systems
- Abdominal cavity is the space between the abdominal walls, situated above the pelvis, and below the diaphragm.
- Dorsal cavity includes the cranial cavity (housing the brain) and the spinal cavity (containing the spinal cord).
Body Systems Overview
- Blood system encompasses blood and its components, vital for transporting nutrients and oxygen.
- Cardiovascular system comprises the heart and blood vessels, essential for circulation.
- Digestive system involves organs from the mouth to the anus responsible for digestion and waste excretion.
- Endocrine system includes glands that secrete hormones, regulating various body functions.
- Integumentary system consists of skin, hair, and nails, protecting the body and aiding in sensory perception.
- Lymphatic and immune system features lymph, lymphatic vessels, and glands that defend against disease.
- Musculoskeletal system integrates muscles, bones, and cartilage for movement and support.
- Nervous system encompasses the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, crucial for transmitting messages and controlling bodily functions.
- Reproductive system is designated for reproduction, including male and female specific organs.
- Respiratory system incorporates lungs and airways, facilitating breathing and gas exchange.
- Sensory system consists of eyes and ears, and the parts of other systems involved in sensory perception.
- Urinary system regulates body fluid and waste removal through kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Ventral cavity is the main cavity at the front of the body, housing thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities.
Tissue and Cellular Structure
- Cell is the smallest unit of a living structure, fundamental for life.
- Tissue refers to a group of cells working together for a specific function; types include:
- Connective tissue, providing support and structure.
- Epithelial tissue, covering and lining body surfaces.
- Muscle tissue, capable of contraction and relaxation.
- Nervous tissue, forming nerve cells for signal transmission.
Organ and Systems Relationship
- An organ is formed from specialized tissues to perform designated functions, coordinating within larger systems for comprehensive bodily function.
