    Study Notes

    Integumentary System

    • Protects the body from the external environment
    • Helps regulate body temperature

    Tissue Type

    • Epithelial tissue is the main component of the organ level of organization

    Skeletal System

    • Supports the body
    • Protects internal organs
    • Allows for movement

    Heat Production

    • The muscular system is responsible for producing heat in the body

    Blood Cell Formation

    • Blood cell formation primarily occurs in the bone marrow

    Excretion of Salts

    • The integumentary system (skin) is responsible for excreting salts in perspiration

    Urinary System

    • Removes waste products from the blood
    • Regulates water and electrolyte balance

    Egg Production

    • The ovaries are responsible for the production of eggs in females

    Urethra Function

    • The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body

    Male Reproductive System

    • The mammary glands are not part of the male reproductive system

    Mammary Glands

    • The mammary glands produce milk for nursing infants

    Acid-Base Balance

    • The respiratory system is responsible for maintaining acid-base balance in the body

    Anatomy

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body

    Microscopic Anatomy

    • Microscopic anatomy studies the structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye

    Tissue Level

    • Tissues consist of similar types of cells at the tissue level of structural organization

    Molecular Level

    • At the chemical level of structural organization, atoms combine to form molecules

    Physiology

    • Physiology is the study of the function of the body

    Pathophysiology

    • In pathophysiology, 'deranged function' refers to the abnormal functioning of the body due to disease

    Thoracic Cavity

    • The thoracic cavity contains the heart, lungs, and other organs

    Cranial Cavity

    • The cranium protects the brain within the cranial cavity

    Abdominopelvic Cavity

    • The epigastric region in the abdominopelvic cavity contains the stomach and liver

    Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Separation

    • The diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities

    Spinal Cord Protection

    • The vertebral column protects the spinal cord in the vertebral cavity

    Inferior Pelvic Cavity

    • The inferior pelvic cavity houses the urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum

    Respiratory System

    • The respiratory system is responsible for keeping the blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide in the body

    Lymph Nodes

    • Lymph nodes filter lymph fluid and remove waste products

    Digestive System

    • The mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and accessory organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas) are all part of the digestive system

    Respiratory System Function

    • The primary function of the respiratory system is gas exchange

    Lymphatic System

    • The lymphatic system returns fluid leaked from blood vessels back to the bloodstream
    • Helps fight infections and maintain fluid balance

    Digestive System Function

    • The digestive system breaks down food into absorbable nutrients for distribution to body cells
