Study Notes
Structural Organization of the Body and the First Responder
- The structural organization of the body (specifically the types of body tissues) is a key objective for first responders.
- Body tissues are composed of cells grouped by size, shape, and function,
- Four types of tissue: Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous
Epithelial Tissue
- Covers the outside of the body (e.g., skin) and lines the inside of the body.
- Its membranes are two thin layers of tissue that adhere together.
- Some cells in epithelial tissue secrete fluids.
Connective Tissue
- Supports and connects organs and tissues.
- Adipose tissue stores fat cells.
- Cartilage provides firm, flexible support.
- Tendons connect skeletal muscle to bone.
- Ligaments connect bones at joints.
Muscle Tissue
- Contracts and moves body parts.
- Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary, contracting the heart.
- Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary, attached to the skeleton.
- Smooth muscle is non-striated and involuntary, facilitating movement in various body systems.
Nervous Tissue
- Reacts to stimulation and conducts impulses,
- A key part of the nervous system.
Organ Systems
- The body is made up of organ systems, each with specific functions.
- Skeletal: Provides support, protection, and movement. Components such as skull, ribs, pelvis, humerus and femur are notable parts of the skeletal system.
- Muscular: Provides support, protection, movement, and generates heat. Examples such as Diaphragm, Pectoralis Major and Gluteus Maximus are included.
- Circulatory: Pumps blood and transports oxygen. Key components are blood, arteries, veins and the heart.
- Lymphatic: Stimulates the immune response and produces lymphocytes. Components of note are the Spleen, Tonsils and the Thymus Gland.
- Respiratory: Allows exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Parts include the Lungs, Diaphragm, Alveoli and the Pharynx.
- Digestive: Digests food and absorbs nutrients. Includes the Esophagus, Stomach, Liver, Small Intestine and Large Intestine.
- Integumentary: Protects, regulates body temperature, and provides sensation. Includes skin, hair, and sweat glands.
- Nervous: Processes information. Includes the Brain and Spinal Cord.
- Sensory: Provides sensation. Includes eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin.
- Urinary: Eliminates urine. Includes kidneys and bladder.
- Endocrine: Controls bodily functions. Includes the Pancreas and Thyroid gland among other glands.
- Reproductive: Controls reproductive processes. Includes the Uterus, Ovaries, Vagina, and Testes for example.
