Study Notes
Serous Membranes
- Serous membranes line the walls of body cavities and cover the organs within those cavities.
- The potential space between the parietal and visceral pleural membranes is called the pleural cavity.
- The visceral pleura covers the lungs.
- The fibrous outer membrane around the heart is called the pericardium.
- The parietal peritoneum lines the wall of the abdominal cavity.
- The potential space between the parietal and visceral pericardial membranes is called the pericardial cavity.
- The visceral peritoneum covers each organ in the abdominopelvic cavity.
- Serous membranes consist of two layers: a parietal layer and a visceral layer.
Organ Systems
- The integumentary system is responsible for protecting tissues, regulating body temperature, supporting sensory receptors, and aiding in excretion.
- The skeletal system provides a framework, protects soft tissues, provides attachment sites for muscles, produces blood cells, and stores inorganic salts.
- The muscular system causes movement, maintains posture, and produces body heat.
- The nervous system detects changes, receives and interprets sensory information, and stimulates muscles and glands.
- The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones to control metabolic activities of body structures.
- The cardiovascular system moves blood through blood vessels and transports substances throughout the body.
- The lymphatic system returns tissue fluid to the blood, carries certain absorbed food molecules, and defends the body against infection.
- The digestive system receives, breaks down, and absorbs food, and eliminates unabsorbed material.
- The respiratory system is responsible for the intake and output of air, and the exchange of gases between air and blood.
- The urinary system removes wastes from the blood, maintains water and electrolyte balance, and stores and transports urine.
