    Study Notes

    Body Systems

    • There are 11 major body systems:
      • Musculoskeletal system
      • Nervous system
      • Cardiovascular system
      • Lymphatic system
      • Integumentary system
      • Respiratory system
      • Urinary system
      • Digestive system
      • Endocrine system
      • Reproductive system

    Organ Types

    • Tubular organs:
      • Hollow organs with a lumen (canal) and a wall
      • Consist of four coats or tunics: Tunica Mucosa, Tunica Submucosa, Tunica Muscularis, and Tunica Serosa
    • Parenchymatous organs:
      • Solid organs composed of a stroma and a parenchyma
      • Stroma: connective tissue support or framework of a solid organ
      • Parenchyma: functional part of a solid organ

    Tunica Mucosa

    • Commonly called mucous membrane or wet membrane
    • May present folds or plicae
    • Composed of three layers: Lining Epithelium, Lamina Propria, and Lamina Muscularis Mucosae

    Tunica Submucosa

    • Loose connective tissue beneath the Tunica Mucosa
    • Contains blood vessels, nerves, autonomic ganglia, and nerve plexus
    • Permits the motility of Tunica Mucosa

    Tunica Muscularis

    • Third tunic beneath the Tunica Submucosa
    • Generally smooth muscle tissue, arranged in two layers (inner circular and outer longitudinal)
    • Maintains the tone of the organ, size of the lumen, and movement of materials through the organ

    Tunica Serosa

    • Outermost coat composed of loose connective tissue
    • Derived from splanchnic mesoderm, which forms the dorsal mesentery
    • Contains blood vessels, nerves, myenteric ganglia, and adipose cells

    Cardiovascular System

    • Consists of: heart, veins, arteries, and capillaries
    • Heart pumps blood and blood vessels distribute and collect blood to and from all parts of the body

    Lymphatic System

    • Consists of: lymphatic vessels, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and lymph nodes
    • Organs that produce lymphocytes and filter blood and lymph

    Integumentary System

    • Consists of: skin and its appendages (hair, pads, claws, hoof, horns, beak, feathers)
    • Protects the body from external damage

    Respiratory System

    • Consists of: nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm
    • Organs that conduct air to and from the lung and structures involved in the actual exchange of gases inside the lung

    Urinary System

    • Consists of: kidney, ureter, urethra, and urinary bladder
    • Kidney that produces urine and excretory ducts that convey urine from the kidney to outside of the body

    Digestive System

    • Consists of: oral cavity, esophagus, forestomachs (reticulum, rumen, omasum), true stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and rectum
    • Organs involved in the prehension and digestion of food, excretion of fecal materials, and absorption of nutrients
