Study Notes
Respiratory System
- Respiration involves inspiration and expiration
- Organs involved: pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, alveoli, and diaphragm
Cardiovascular System
- Blood vessels responsible for blood transport: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins
- Blood composition: plasma and formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets)
Nervous System
- Types of nerves: sensory, interpretive, and motor
- Central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
- Somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems)
- Reflexes
Integumentary System
- Skin: epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer
- Hair and nails
Digestive System
- Alimentary canal
- Two processes of digestion: mechanical and chemical
- Stomach
Skeletal System
- Skull: cranium and mandible
- Spinal column: vertebra, cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacrum, and coccyx
- Thorax: rib cage, 12 pairs of ribs, sternum, and xiphoid process
- Pelvic girdle: pelvis, ilium, ischium, and pubis
- Shoulder girdle: clavicle and scapula
- Upper extremities: humerus, elbow, radius, ulna, wrist, carpals, and metacarpals
- Lower extremities: femur, knee, patella, tibia, fibula, ankle, tarsals, and metatarsals
- Joints: immovable, slightly movable, and freely movable (hinge, ball and socket, gliding, and saddle joints)
Muscular System
- Voluntary, involuntary, and cardiac muscles
Urinary System
- Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra
Lymphatic/Immune System
- Lymphatic tissues, lymph nodes, and tonsils
Endocrine System
- Hormones and glands: hypothalamus, pineal, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries, testes, parathyroid, and thymus
Male and Female Reproductive Systems
- Separate systems for male and female reproduction
