 Human anatomy
• Human anatomy is the study of the structure and
organization of the human body. It involves
examining the various components that make up
the human body, and how they function
together to sustain life.
 Four Major Kinds of
Human Anatomy
• The human body is a single structure but it is made up of billions of
smaller structures of four major kinds:
• Cells: The basic building blocks of all living organisms, including
humans. Cells come together to form tissues and organs.
• Tissues: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform
specific functions. There are four main types of tissues in the
human body: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.
• Organs: Structures composed of different types of tissues that
work together to carry out specific bodily functions. Examples
include the heart, lungs, liver, and brain.
• Systems: It is the most complex of the component units of the
human body. It is an organization of varying numbers and kinds of
organs so arranged that together they can perform complex
functions for the body.
 Ten Major Systems
Compose The
Human Body
Skeletal System: This system provides structure, support, and
protection to the body. It consists of bones, joints, and
cartilage.
Muscular System: Muscles are responsible for movement,
stability, and maintaining body posture. They work in
conjunction with the skeletal system.
Nervous System: This system coordinates and controls the
body's activities by transmitting signals between different
parts of the body. It includes the brain, spinal cord, and
nerves.
Cardiovascular System: Also known as the circulatory system, it
transports blood, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste
products throughout the body. It includes the heart, blood
vessels, and blood.
Endocrine System: The endocrine system regulates various
bodily functions through the secretion of hormones. It
includes glands such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and
reproductive glands.
 Ten Major Systems
Compose The
Human Body
Lymphatic System: This system is responsible for maintaining
fluid balance, fighting infections, and transporting white
blood cells. It includes lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and the
spleen.
Respiratory System: This system is responsible for oxygenating
the body and removing carbon dioxide. It includes the lungs,
trachea, bronchi, and other respiratory structures.
Digestive System: This system processes and breaks down food
into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. It includes
the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas,
and more.
Urinary System: Also known as the excretory system, it filters
waste products from the blood and expels them as urine. It
includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra.
Reproductive System: Responsible for sexual reproduction and
the continuation of the species. It includes the reproductive
organs (testes and ovaries), as well as associated structures.
 Muscles
• In human anatomy, a muscle is a specialized
tissue composed of cells that have the ability to
contract and generate force. Muscles are
essential for movement, stability, and
maintaining various bodily functions. They are
responsible for the mechanical work required to
move different body parts, such as limbs,
fingers, and internal organs.
 3 Types of Muscles
• There are 3 types of Muscles:
• 1. Skeletal Muscles: These are the muscles attached to the bones and
are responsible for voluntary movements. They enable you to perform
actions like walking, running, lifting, and other activities under conscious
control. Skeletal muscles are also important for posture and maintaining
body alignment.
• 2. Smooth Muscles: Found in the walls of internal organs such as the
digestive tract, blood vessels, and respiratory passages, smooth muscles
are involuntary and function without conscious control. They help propel
substances through these organs and regulate various physiological
processes like digestion and blood flow.
• 3. Cardiac Muscle: This type of muscle is unique to the heart. Cardiac
muscles are involuntary and possess characteristics of both skeletal and
smooth muscles. They contract rhythmically to pump blood throughout
the body, maintaining the circulation of oxygen and nutrients.
ACTIVITY:
• Make an essay about the importance of 3 types of muscles (Skeletal,
Smooth, and Cardiac). At least 200 words.
