Body Systems
Muscular System
Functions: 1. Stabilizing joints 2. Maintaining posture 3.Producing movement 4. Moving substances within the body 5.Producing heat
-
Diseases Associated
-
Compartment syndrome
Swelling or bleeding of a particular region, leading to build up of pressure
-
Specific Care:
-1. Do strength training at least 3 times a week- 2.Eat whole foods rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. - 3.Stretch and massage your body often
-4. Perform warm ups and cool downs before and after exercises.
-
LINK
The muscular system works with the skeletal system in providing movement. The signals provided by the nervous system to the muscles causes movement in them allowing the body to be active. They also provide protection to the internal organs.
Nervous System
Functions
- To collect sensory input from the external environment
- To process and interpret the information
3.To respond appropriately
-
Disease
Alzheimer's
Affects the brain's memory, function and behaviors
-
-
Specific Care
- Avoid Smoking and Drinking excessive alcohol 2. A diet that is rich in B12 and VitaminD 3. Avoid exposure to toxic chemicals 4.Engage in doing mind muscles and games
-
LINK
The nervous system provides information for the movements in the muscular system. The receptors on the muscle carry information to the CNS through the sensory neuron. The motor neuron receives signals from CNS to the muscles
-
Respiratory System
Functions: Organs that provide the body with continuous supply of oxygen and get rid of Carbon Dioxide
Major Structures
Lungs: Flow of Oxygen outside and Carbon Dioxide inside Trachea: Long tube running from nose to chest
Bronchi: Air tubes leading into lungs
-
Specific Care
- Avoid smoke, dust and chemicals
- Avoid high pollution areas
- Don't smoke
-
LINK: The respiratory system works with the circulatory system in providing oxygen to the body. The oxygen taken in through the organs of the respiratory system are distributed to each of the cell through the circulatory system. The CO2 released by each cell is taken out of the body through the respiratory system
Skeletal System
Major structures
1.Bones
Long
Provides strength, support and mobility. - arms, legs and fingers
-
Short
Provides strength and support,with no movement.- Wrist and ankles
-
-
Functions
- Allows movement
- Provides support
3.Protects other body parts
- Forms new blood cells
- Stores minerals
-
Specific Care
- Eat calcium rich foods
- Eat Vitamin D rich foods
- Muscle building exercise
- Avoiding Tobacco and Alcohol
Digestive System
-
Major Structures
- Mouth: Breaks down food into small pieces and mixes it with saliva
-
- Stomach: breaks down food into pieces and mixes it with digestive enzymes
- Small intestine: absorbs the water, nutrients, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids
-
6.Liver: Produces bile that digests fats, filters out toxins and waste
- Pancreas: Produces more digestive enzymes and regulates blood sugar with the production of insulin.
Diseases 1. Heartburn- when the digestive enzymes enter esophagus 2. Constipation- The bowel movement from the body is not constant 3. Diarrhea: When bacteria enters into stomach
-
-
Excretory System
-
Major Structures: Liver : Converts impurities and proteins to less harmful stuff
Lungs and Skin: Gets rid of sweat and Carbon dioxide -
Kidney- Filters the urea from the liver, along with other impurities from the blodd
-
Diseases 1. Kidney failure: When the kidney is affected
- Kidney Stone: Concentration of organic matter in the kidney
- Bladder infection: When the bladder is infected
Specific Cure 1. Avoid Drugs, alcohol and any kid of Toxins 2. Drink lots of water
LINK:The excretory system works with the digestive system.The liver filters out the toxins from the food. The waste materials after the taking in of the useful substances by the digestive system is released though the organs of the excretory system.
Endocrine system
-
Major structures
Hypothalamus gland: Body temperature + sleep and hunger
Pituitary Glands: growth, reproduction, and metabolism
Thyroid gland: Calcium levels + metabolic rate
Thymus gland: development of immune system
Adrenal gland: adrenaline+ salt and water concentration
Pancreas: Blood Sugar level
Diseases: 1. Diabetes Mellitus: Less insulin resulting in high blood sugar level
- Goiter: Enlargment of thyroid gland
- Cushings disease: Overproduction of adrenal hormone.
Link: The endocrine system works with the circulatory system. The hormones are released by the glands into the blood. It is transported to the entire body with the help of organs of the circulatory system.
