Protects the body from disease by identifying and killing harmful organisms
Detailed Anatomy of the Skeletal System
206 bones, divided into axial and appendicular skeleton
Function of the Muscular System
Movement, posture, heat production, body stability
Detailed Structure of the Brainstem
Consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata
Anatomy of the Peripheral Nervous System
Nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord
Function of the Autonomic Nervous System
Involuntary control of body functions like heartbeat, digestion, and breathing
Detailed Structure of the Lungs
Two spongy organs, composed of alveoli, bronchi, and bronchioles
Anatomy of the Lymphatic System
Network of tissues and organs, includes lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, thymus
Function of the Circulatory System
Transport blood, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cells throughout the body
Detailed Structure of the Spinal Cord
Long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue
Anatomy of the Digestive Organs
Includes mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Function of the Reproductive Organs
Produce eggs or sperm, facilitate fertilization, in females can support gestation
Detailed Anatomy of the Pancreas
Has both exocrine and endocrine functions, produces digestive enzymes and hormones
Function of the Pituitary Gland
Regulates other glands, influences growth, metabolism, and maturation
Detailed Anatomy of the Spleen
Largest lymphatic organ, filters blood, destroys old red blood cells
Function of the Thyroid Gland
Regulates metabolism, body temperature, and growth
Detailed Structure of the Kidney
Two bean-shaped organs, each with a cortex, medulla, and pelvis
Anatomy of the Adrenal Glands
Two small glands above kidneys, secrete hormones to respond to stress
Function of the Parathyroid Glands
Regulate calcium levels in the body
Detailed Structure of the Gastrointestinal Lining
Layered lining includes mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa
Anatomy of the Bronchial Tree
Branching system of airways including trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli
Function of the Alveoli
Exchange gases between the air and the blood in the lungs
Detailed Anatomy of the Arteries and Veins
Arteries carry blood away from heart; veins bring it back. Each have three layers: tunica intima, media, and adventitia
Function of the Bile Duct
Transports bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine
Detailed Structure of the Endocrine Pancreas
Alpha cells produce glucagon and Beta cells produce insulin
Anatomy of the Hepatic Portal System
Blood vessel system that carries blood from gastrointestinal tract and spleen to liver
Function of the Synovial Joints
Allow for movement and provide mechanical support+
Detailed Structure of the Cranial Nerves
Twelve paired nerves that come from the brain
Anatomy of the Optic Nerve
Transmits visual information from the retina to the brain
Function of the Auditory System
Converts sound waves into neural signals for the brain to interpret
Detailed Structure of the Meningeal Layers
Three layers - dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater
Anatomy of the Thoracic Cage
Ribs, sternum, and thoracic vertebrae protect the heart and lungs
Function of the Limbic System
Controls basic emotions and drives, also plays a role in memory
Detailed Structure of the Reproductive Tract
In males: testes, ducts, glands, penis. In females: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina
