Study Notes
Digestive System
- The body breaks down food into nutrients through digestion
- The esophagus carries chewed food from the mouth to the stomach
- The stomach mixes food with stomach enzymes and holds food before it goes into the small intestine
- The small intestine digests and absorbs nutrients from food
- The liver filters blood from the digestive tract and produces bile to remove waste
- The pancreas creates enzymes to break down food and hormones to carry messages through the body
- The gallbladder stores liver bile during digestion
- The large intestine (colon, bowel) absorbs water and vitamins for the body
- The rectum stores waste and the anus pushes waste out of the body as a bowel movement
Urinary System
- The urinary system balances the body by eliminating waste through urine
- The kidneys remove waste from the body, balance fluids, and send waste to the bladder
- The ureters bring urine to the bladder from the kidneys
- The bladder stores urine before urination
- The urethra brings urine out of the body during urination
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system receives oxygen through respiration (breathing) and expels carbon dioxide from the body
- The nostrils inhale air during breathing
- The nasal cavity keeps foreign particles out of the respiratory tract and makes mucus to keep the nose moist
- The oral cavity connects to the trachea
- The larynx (voice box) creates speech sounds and regulates airflow into the lungs
- The trachea connects to the lungs
- The bronchial tubes bring air into the lungs
- The lungs bring oxygen into the body through blood vessels and take carbon dioxide out of the body through exhalation
Muscular System
- The muscular system enables the body to move
- The arms are divided into different parts:
- The shoulder connects the upper arm to the torso
- The forearm connects the arm to the wrist
- The hand connects the fingers to the hand
- The fingers have fine motor skills (writing, pinching, gripping)
- The legs are divided into different parts:
- The thigh connects the leg to the knee
- The shin connects the knee to the ankle
- The foot connects the ankle to the toes
- The toes have fine motor skills (walking, running, balance)
Torso
- The torso is the middle of the body where the arms and legs branch off
- The teeth are in the mouth and chew food
- The skull protects the brain
- The backbone (vertebrae) protects the spinal cord and stabilizes the body
- The ribcage protects the heart, lungs, and internal organs
- The pelvis supports body weight and internal organs
- Tendons and ligaments connect bones to other bones and allow joints to move and bend
Body Systems, Functions, and Organs
- The body systems include:
- Respiratory (breathing)
- Cardiovascular/Circulatory (blood circulation)
- Digestive (processing food)
- Endocrine (hormone production)
- Waste elimination (removing waste)
- Reproductive (reproduction)
- Nervous/Sensory (communication between and coordination of all body systems)
- Each system has specific organs and functions that work together to keep the body healthy.
