2 Functions of Body cavities
protects organs from shocks & impacts
permit changes in size & shape of internal organs
Visceral
lines walls of cavities
Parietal
covers surface of enclosed viscera
2 Major Subdivisions of body
Dorsal (cranial & vertebral)
Ventral (thoracic & abdominopelvic)
Integumentary System Organs
skin, hair, sweat glands, nails
Integumentary System Functions
protection against environmental hazards
regulate body temp
provides sensory info
Skeletal System Organs
bones, cartilages, associated ligaments, bone marrow
Skeletal System Functions
support & protection for other tissues
stores Ca & other nutrients
forms blood cells
Muscular System Organs
skeletal muscles, associated tendons
Muscular System Functions
provides movements
protection and support for other tissues
generates heat that maintains body temp
Nervous System Organs
brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves sense organs
Nervous System Function
directs immediate response to stim
coordination or moderates activities of other organ systems
provides/interprets sensory info about external conditions
Endocrine System Organs
pituitary gland, pancreas, gonads endocrine tissues in other system, thyroid gland, adrenal glands
Endocrine System Functions
directs long-term changes in the activities of other systems
adjusts metabolic activity & energy use by body
controls structural & functional changes during development
Cardiovascular System Organs
heart, blood, BV
Cardiovascular System Functions
distributes blood cells, water, nutrients, waste product, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
distributes heat & assists control of body temp
Lymphatic System Organs
spleen, thymus, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils
Lymphatic System Functions
defends against infection & disease
returns tissue fluids to the bloodstream
Respiratory System Organs
nasal cavities, sinuses, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli
Respiratory System Functions
deliver air to alveoli
provide oxygen to bloodstream
remove CO2 from bloodstream
aid in sound production
Digestive System Organs
teeth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Digestive System Functions
processes & digests food
absorbs & conserves water
absorbs nutrients
stores energy reserves
Urinary System Organs
kidney, uterus, urinary bladder, urethra
Urinary System Functions
excretes waste from blood
controls water balance by regulating volume of urine produced
stores urine prior to elimination
regulates blood pH & ion concentration
Mechanisms of Regulation
Autoregulation & Extrinsic Regulation
Autoregulation
automatic response in a cell, tissue, or organ to some environmental change
Extrinsic Regulation
nervous system (rapid & short)
Endocrine System (slower & persistent)
Negative Feedback
counteracting a change
Thermoregulation & Hypothalamus
Positive Feedback
an initial stim that produces a response that amplifies the original response
4 Types of Tissue
epithelial, connective, muscle, neural
What does Epithelial mean
over external or line the internal surfaces
Epithelial Characteristics
cossages
cellularity (tightly packed)
polarity (difference between apical & basal surfaces)
attached to connective tissue
avascular
can regenerate fast
Epithelial Functions
provide physical protection
permeability
sensation
specialized secretion
Epithelial Specializations
Intercellular Connections
attachment to basement membrane
maintenance & repair
Intercellular Connections
Tight Junctions (between plasma membrane)
Gap Junctions (tunnel that allows electrical coupling)
Desmosomes (anchoring sites for intermediate filaments)
3 Parts of regulatory mechanism
Sensor
Control Center
Effector
Simple Squamous Function
absorption, secretion, reduce friction, controls vessel permeability
Mesothelium
lines ventral body cavities
Endothelium
lines heart & BV
Simple Squamous Location
BV, kidney, tubules, inner lining of cornea, alveoli of lungs

Simple Cuboidal Function
secretion & absorption
Stratified Cuboidal (rare)
Location: lining of stomach, intestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes, collecting ducts of kidney
