The human body in health and illness 6th edition
1. Anatomy: Is the branch of science that studies the structure of the
body
2. Physiology: The branch of Science that describes how the body
functions
3. Pathophysiology: The branch of science that describes the improper
function- ing of the body
4. Atomical position: The body is standing erect with the face forward
the arms of the side the toes and palms of the hands directed forward
,5. Body's level of organization: atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs,
organ systems, human organism
6. integumentary system: Consists of the skin, mucous membranes,
hair, and nail
7. skeletal system: bines, joints, provides support for the body and
allows us to move around
8. Muscular System: three types of muscles skeletal(responsible for
movement of the body) smooth and cardiac(help thr organ system
carry out their functions)
9. endocrine system: glands that secrete hormones and chemical
substances that regulate the body activies such as growth,
reproduction, metabolism and water balance
, 10.circulatory system: system consists of the blood,heart and blood
vessels. carries nutrients and oxygen to all the bodys cells and also
carries the waste away from the cells to the organs of excretion
11.lymphatic system: lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels,lymph(plays
and impor- tant role in fluid balance
12.immune system: defends the body against infections
13.respiratory system: contains the lungs and other structures that
conduct air
14.digestive system: how we ingest/breakdown and get rid of waste
15.urinary system: kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra (what
we excited important in ph balance and electrolytes)
16.nervous system: brain, spinal cord, nerves(allowes us to get
information for external environment)
17.reproductive system: how humans reproduce
18.Homeostasis: the body's ability to maintain relatively stable internal
conditions even though the outside world is continuously changing
(positive and negative feedback keep us at this)
