Study Notes

Nervous System

  • Collects information and dictates survival actions based on current conditions.

Somatic System

  • Controls movement of skeletal muscles.

Autonomic System

  • Regulates involuntary muscles, including the heart.

Muscular System

  • Facilitates body movement through three types of muscles: smooth, cardiac, and skeletal.

Types of Muscles

  • Cardiac Muscles: Exclusive to the heart.
  • Smooth Muscles: Found in internal organs.
  • Skeletal Muscles: Under voluntary control.

Lymphatic System

  • Filters disease-causing organisms and manages production of antibodies and white blood cells.

Endocrine System

  • Produces and secretes various hormones essential for body functions.

Circulatory System

  • Distributes blood to provide nutrients to cells and remove waste products.

Digestive System

  • Converts food into energy via the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs.

Types of Motivation

  • Extrinsic Motivation: Driven by external rewards or outcomes.
  • Intrinsic Motivation: Stem from internal desires to accomplish tasks.

Stages of Change (Transtheoretical Model)

  • Includes Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance phases.
