gross anatomy
large structures, easily observable
micro anatomy
microscopic structures, need microscope to see
main functions: integumentary
protects against environmental hazards, controls temperature
main functions: skeletal
supports and protects soft tissues , stores minerals, forms blood
main functions: muscular
provides movement and support, generates heat
main functions: nervous
directs immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems
main functions: endocrine
directs long term changes in the activities of other organ systems
main functions: cardiovascular
distributes cells and dissolved materials, including nutrients, water, and gases
main functions: lymphatic
defends against infection and disease
main functions: respiratory
delivers air to sites where gas exchange occurs between the air and the circulating body systems
main functions: digestive
processes and digests food, absorbs nutrients, stores energy reserves
main functions: urinary
eliminates excess water, salts, and wastes, controls pH, regulates blood pressure
components of the integumentary system
skin (cutaneous membrane), hair follicles, sweat glands, nails
components if the skeletal system: axial
