Organs and Systems of the Human Body - Lesson 3

-

ORGANS: Organs are the structures that are composed of several kinds of tissues. For instance an organ like Stomach is composed of Glandular epithelial tissue, nerve tissue and muscle tissue.

SYSTEMS: A system consists of organ groups functioning together to perform a complex function. For example digestive system consists of organs like mouth, esophagus, stomach and small and large intestines, they combine together to do a complex function of digesting food and absorb the digested food into the bloodstream.
In our body there are ten systems as below:

1. Skin and sense organs-This system contains skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, oil glands, the eye, the ear, the nose, and the tongue.

2. Skeletal system-joints and bones.

3. Muscular system-muscles.

4. Circulatory system-heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries), Lymph vessels and nodes, Spleen and thymus gland.

5. Nervous system-brain, spinal cord, nerves and collection of nerves.

6. Endocrine system-thyroid gland (neck), pituitary gland (base of the brain), sex glands (ovaries and testes), adrenal glands, pancreas, thymus gland, and parathyroid glands.

7. Reproductive system-male: testes and the tubes associated with it, urethra, penis and prostate gland. Female: ovaries, uterine or fallopian tubes, uterus or womb, vagina and mammary glands.

8. Respiratory system-Nose, pharynx, larynx or voice box, trachea or windpipe, bronchial tubes, and lungs.

9. Urinary or excretory system-kidneys, ureters (tubes from the kidneys to the urinary bladder), urinary bladder, urethra (tube from the bladder to the outside of the body).

10. Digestive system-Mouth, pharynx or throat, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.

Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions - Lesson 5

-
Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
