BODY SYSTEMS:
Respiratory System
-
Function:
-
-
Gas Exchange
Delivery from the oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs
Diseases:
-
-
Influenza
A respiratory virus that affects the throat, nose, bronchi and, sometimes, the lungs.
-
Skeletal System :
Major Structure:
-
Nerves
control the contraction of skeletal muscles, interpret sensory information, and coordinate the activities of the body's organ systems.
-
-
-
-
Diseases:
-
-
Arthritis
Inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain and stiffness that can worsen with age.
-
Endocrine System
Major Structure:
-
Parathyroid Gland
A gland that regulates calcium, located behind the thyroid gland in the neck.
-
Thyroid Gland
regulate the body's metabolic rate as well as heart and digestive function, muscle control, brain development, mood and bone maintenance
Pineal Gland
It produces and regulates some hormones, including melatonin
Function:
-
-
-
Heart Rate
The Heart releases Natriuretic Peptides which act to lower blood pressure and thus work antagonistically to the
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
Diseases:
-
Gigantism
If the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone, a child's bones and body parts may grow very fast. If the growth hormone levels are too low, a child can stop growing in height.
Adrenal insufficiency
The adrenal glands release to little of the hormones cortisol and sometimes, aldosterone. Symptoms include fatigue, stomach upset, dehydration, and skin changes
-
Cardiovascular System
Major Structure:
-
-
-
-
Heart
Pumps blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen, nutrients, etc
Function:
-
-
To transport nutrients, gases and waste products around the body
-
Diseases:
Vascular disease
Heart conditions that include diseased vessels, structural problems, and blood clots.
-
-
-
Muscular System
Function:
The movement or ability to move from one place to another. Another function would be heat production. That is the amount of heat your body can provide for you to maintain a good temperature.
Major Structure:
-
-
-
-
Adipose Tissue
Adipose tissue is a connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat cells, and it cushions joints.
Diseases
Bursitis
A bursa is a small, closed bag with a minimum amount of lubricatory fluid that serves as a shock absorber where bones make close contact and to minimize trauma and friction where tendons cross bones and joints
Myasthenia gravis
This is an autoimmune disease that involves production of antibodies that interfere with nerves stimulating muscle contractions.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The main nerve for finely controlled thumb movements passes through a bony/ligamentous canal on the bottom of the wrist. Repetitive flexing movements may inflame and thicken the ligament over the through the carpal bones trapping and compressing the nerve.
-
Digestive System
Major Structure:
-
-
-
-
Ingestion
The process of taking food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing or absorbing it.
Function:
Digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of solid food waste. Digestion is the process of breaking down food into components the body can absorb
Diseases:
Crohn's Disease
Causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue
Irritable Bowl Syndrome
An intestinal disorder causing pain in the belly, gas, diarrhea, and constipation
-
-
Nervous System
Major Structure:
glial cell
one of a variety of cells that provide a framework of tissue that supports the neurons and their activities
Spinal Nerves
Carries motor, sensory, autonomic, and integration signals between the spinal cord and body
-
Neurons
the main structural and functional units of the nervous system. Every neuron consists of a body (soma) and a number of processes (neurites).
-
Function:
-
Sensory: 5 senses; sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste
-
Diseases:
-
Alzheimer's disease
Which covers a wide range of disorders that impacts mental functions, particularly memory.
