Study Notes

Musculoskeletal System

The musculoskeletal system is composed of the skeleton and muscles (smooth, skeletal, and cardiac).
The skeleton provides support, protects internal organs, stores minerals (like calcium).
Muscles allow movement, protect organs, and help with digestion and nutrient absorption.
The nervous system coordinates with the musculoskeletal system for movement.
The skeleton comprises the axial skeleton (skull, spinal column, ribs, sternum) and appendicular skeleton (clavicle, scapula, hip bones, appendages).
Bones are classified as long (limbs), short (hands/feet), flat (shoulder blades/skull), and irregular (wrists/ankles/face/vertebral column).

Bone Structure

Bones contain collagen fibers in mineral salts (calcium & phosphorus).
Compact bone provides strength & protection.
Spongy bone has bone marrow (red, yellow).
Red bone marrow creates blood cells (RBCs, WBCs, platelets).
Yellow bone marrow is fatty tissue.

Joints

Joints are where bones meet to enable movement.
Immovable joints (like skull sutures) don't allow movement.
Gliding joints allow side-to-side and back-and-forth movement (wrist, ankles, vertebrae).
Pivot joints allow rotation (lower arm bones).
Hinge joints allow movement in one direction (elbow, knee).
Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in all directions (shoulder, hip).

Muscles

Muscles work in pairs to allow movement (e.g., biceps & triceps).
Muscles contract (shorten) and relax.
Muscles are made of muscle fibers.
Types of muscles include skeletal (voluntary), smooth (involuntary), and cardiac (involuntary in the heart).
Tendons attach muscles to bones.

Integumentary System

The integumentary system is the skin, hair, nails, and glands.
The skin protects, regulates temperature, detects sensations, stores water/fat, produces vitamin D, and removes waste.
The skin has layers including epidermis (outer) and dermis (inner).
Melanin gives skin color and protects against UV radiation.
Sweat helps regulate body temperature.
The skin has sensory receptors to detect stimuli like touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.

Digestive System

The digestive system breaks down food to absorb nutrients.
Mechanical digestion (chewing) breaks food into smaller pieces.
Chemical digestion uses enzymes to break down large molecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids).
The digestive system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.
Enzymes (e.g., salivary amylase) break down food in different parts of the system.
Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine.
Undigested material is eliminated through the anus.
