Introduction
The circulatory system, or cardiovascular system, combines function of the heart, blood, and
blood vessels to transport oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues throughout the body and
carry away waste products. Among its vital functions, the circulatory system increases the flow of
blood to meet increased energy demands during exercise and regulates body temperature. In
addition, when foreign substances or organisms invade the body, the circulatory system conveys
disease-fighting elements of the immune system to regions under attack. Also, in the case of injury
or bleeding, the circulatory system sends clotting cells and proteins to the affected site which
quickly stop bleeding and promote healing.
The heart, blood, and blood vessels are the three structural elements that make up the
circulatory system. The heart is the engine of the circulatory system. It is divided into four
chambers: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle. The walls of
these chambers are made of a special muscle called myocardium, which contracts continuously
and rhythmically to pump blood. The pumping action of the heart occurs in two stages for each
heart beat: diastole, when the heart is at rest; and systole, when the heart contracts to pump
deoxygenated blood toward the lungs and oxygenated blood to the body.
Three types of blood vessels form a complex network of tubes throughout the body. Arteries
carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry it toward the heart. Capillaries are the tiny links
between the arteries and the veins where oxygen and nutrients diffuse to body tissues.

Introduction
In anatomy and physiology, respiratory system refers to organs that deliver oxygen to the
circulatory system for transport to all body cells. Oxygen is essential for cells, which use this vital
substance to liberate the energy needed for cellular activities. In addition to supplying oxygen, the
respiratory system aids in removing of carbon dioxide, preventing the lethal buildup of this waste
product in body tissues. Day-in and day-out, without the prompt of conscious thought, the
respiratory system carries out its life-sustaining activities. If the respiratory system¡fl
s tasks are
interrupted for more than a few minutes, serious, irreversible damage to tissues occurs, followed
by the failure of all body systems, and ultimately, death.
While the intake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide are the primary functions of the
respiratory system, it plays other important roles in the body. The respiratory system helps
regulate the balance of acid and base in tissues, a process crucial for the normal functioning of
cells. It protects the body against disease-causing organisms and toxic substances inhaled with air.
The respiratory system also houses the cells that detect smell, and assists in the production of
sounds for speech.

Introduction
Bones, muscles, and joints make up the Musculoskeletal System. This system gives the body
a supporting framework, protection for vital organs, and the ability to move. Bones are made up of
a special type of connective tissue, which is hard due to deposits of the mineral calcium. Bones are
divided into four classes according to their shape: long, short, flat, and irregular. Almost all bones
are covered on the outside by a membrane called periosteum, which contains many nerve fibers
and lymphatics. Inside most bones is a spongy type of tissue, bone marrow, which manufactures
several different types of blood cells.
In regions where bones are connected are joints, and the bone ends are lined with cartilage.
As strong bands of connective tissue, the ligaments help to hold bones in place. Certain joints have
a saclike structure called a bursa surrounding them that prevents friction between moving parts,
such as tendons and bones. Common bursal locations are at the elbow, knee, and shoulder joints.
Most muscles have two or more attachments to the bones. The method of attachment varies.
In some parts of the body, the connective tissue within the muscle is attached to the periosteum of
the tendons. Connective tissues that are broad and sheet-like are known as aponeuroses, and they
serve to attach muscle to bone or other tissue. Some muscles attach to cartilage. Cartilage is a
dense connective tissue found in several regions of the adult body. Some of these regions are the
nasal septum, larynx, trachea, bronchi, external ear, and covering the surfaces of movable joints.

Introduction
The integumentary system consists of the skin, nails, hair, and the glands embedded in the
skin. The skin is made up of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, the upper or
outer layer of the skin, is a tough, waterproof, protective layer. The dermis, or inner layer, is
thicker than the epidermis and gives the skin its strength and elasticity. The two layers of the skin
are anchored to one another by a thin but complex layer of tissue, known as the basement
membrane. This tissue is composed of a series of elaborately interconnecting molecules that act as
ropes and grappling hooks to hold the skin together. Below the dermis is the subcutaneous layer, a
layer of tissue composed of protein fibers and adipose tissue.
The skin is essential to a person¡fl
s survival. It forms a barrier that helps prevent harmful
microorganisms and chemicals from entering the body, and it also prevents the loss of
life-sustaining body fluids. It protects the vital structures inside the body from injury and from the
potentially damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun. The skin also helps regulate body temperature,
excretes some waste products, and is an important sensory organ. It contains various types of
specialized nerve cells responsible for the sense of touch.
The skin is the body¡fl
s largest organ because of its great surface area. It covers the surface of
the body at a thickness of just 1.4 to 4.0 mm (0.06 to 0.16 in). The skin is thickest on areas of the
body that regularly rub against objects, such as the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
Both delicate and resilient, the skin constantly renews itself and has a remarkable ability to repair
itself after injury.

Introduction
The digestive system is a series of connected organs whose purpose is to break down, or digest,
the food we eat. Food is made up of large, complex molecules, which the digestive system breaks
down into smaller, simple molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The simple
molecules travel through the bloodstream to all of the body’s cells, which use them for growth,
repair, and energy.
All animals, including humans, have a digestive system, a feature that distinguishes them
from plants. Humans must take in food in the form of organic matter, such as plants or other
animals. The digestive system must also remove waste together with the excretory system.
The digestive system consists mainly of a long, continuous tube called the alimentary canal,
or digestive tract. This canal has a mouth at one end, through which food is taken in, and an anus
at the other end, through which digestive wastes are excreted. Muscles in the walls of the
alimentary canal move the food along. Most digestive organs are part of the alimentary canal.
However, two accessory digestive organs, the liver and pancreas, are located outside the
alimentary canal. These organs contribute to chemical digestion by releasing digestive juices into

Introduction
Urinary system refers to the system of organs that produces and excretes urine from the body.
Urine is a transparent yellow fluid containing unwanted wastes, mostly excess water, salts, and
nitrogen compounds. The major organs of the urinary system are the kidneys, a pair of
bean-shaped organs that continuously filter substances from the blood and produce urine. Urine
flows from the kidneys through two long, thin tubes called ureters. With the aid of gravity and
wavelike contractions, the ureters transport the urine to the bladder, a muscular vessel. The normal
adult bladder can store up to about 0.5 liter (1 pint) of urine, which it excretes through the tube
like urethra.
An average adult produces about 1.5 liters (3 pint) of urine each day, and the body needs, at a
minimum, to excrete about 0.5 liter (1 pint) of urine daily to get rid of its waste products.
Excessive or inadequate production of urine may indicate illness and doctors often use urinalysis
(examination of a patient¡fl
s urine) as part of diagnosing disease. For instance, the presence of
glucose, or blood sugar, in the urine is a sign of diabetes mellitus; bacteria in the urine signal an
infection of the urinary system; and red blood cells in the urine may indicate cancer of the urinary
tract.

Introduction
The nervous system has two main divisions, the central and the peripheral nervous systems.
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for coordinating
the actions of the voluntary muscles and the conscious thought processes. The nervous system is
built up of nerve cells, called neurons, which are supported and protected by other cells. Of the
200 billion or so neurons making up the human nervous system, approximately half are found in
the brain. The brain contains 12 billion cells and is very complicated communications center for
the body. It is divided into three parts ¤Cthe brain stem, cerebrum, and cerebellum. The brain stem
is connected to the lower part of the brain. Impulses of all kinds travel up and down this column,
sending messages to and from the brain.
The peripheral nervous system is made up of 31 pairs of spinal nerves, which are bundles of
nerve cells or neurons. These nerves are the message-relaying mechanism for the brain. Afferent
nerves note changes within the body and in the outside environment, and they signal these changes
to the brain by means of electrical impulses. The brain interprets the nerve messages to all parts of
the body via efferent nerves.
Some of the body¡fl
s nerves are involved in the autonomic nervous system, which controls the
organs, glands, and certain muscles automatically. The autonomic nervous system is further
divided into sympathetic nerves prepare the body for stress and action in times of emergency by
slowing digestion and increasing the heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure. The
parasympathetic nerves restore the body¡fl
s systems to ¡normal¡–after the emergency is over by
lowering blood pressure, slowing breathing, decreasing the heart rate, and stimulating digestion.
All parts of the nervous system are interdependent and work with each other. The brain is the
most complex computer known. The brain might be compared to a computer and its memory
banks, the spinal cord to the conducting cable for the computer’s input and output, and the nerves
to a circuit supplying input information to the cable and transmitting the output to muscles and
organs.

Introduction
The endocrine system is a group of specialized organs and body tissues that produce, store,
and secrete chemical substances known as hormones. As the body’s chemical messengers,
hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another. Because of the
hormones they produce, endocrine organs have a great deal of influence over the body. Among
their many jobs are regulating the body’s growth and development, controlling the function of
various tissues, supporting pregnancy and other reproductive functions, and regulating
metabolism.
Endocrine organs are sometimes called ductless glands because they have no ducts
connecting them to specific body parts. The hormones they secrete are released directly into the
bloodstream. In contrast, the exocrine glands, such as the sweat glands or the salivary glands,
release their secretions directly to target areas ¡“ for example, the skin or the inside of the mouth.
Some of the body’s glands are described as endo-exocrine glands because they secrete hormones
as well as other types of substances.

Introduction
The hematopoietic and lymphatic systems have to do with the blood and the lymph. Blood is
made up of pale straw-colored fluid called plasma and various cells and cell parts formed elements.
The blood is about 55 percent plasma, which in turn is about 90 percent water. The remaining part
of plasma contains protein. Some of these proteins are serum albumin, serum globulin, and
fibrinogen.
The blood cells include erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and
platelets or thrombocytes. Erythrocytes contain the protein hemoglobin, which allows them to
carry oxygen throughout the body. Iron is a very important part of red blood cells. Erythrocytes
are formed in the red bone marrow.
Thrombocytes or platelets are important elements in the blood for coagulation or clotting.
When a vessel is damaged or injured, the platelets form and release fibrin, a protein, which aids in
clotting in this area.
There are several types of leukocytes, some of which consume foreign particles, such as
bacteria and viruses, and others which produce antibodies. And increased amount of leukocytes in
the bloodstream is often a sign of infection.
Lymph is a colorless liquid made up of fluid from the spaces between cells and various salts,
sugar, water, and waste products. From all parts of the body, it enters special lymph vessels that
transport the lymph to the heart area, where it is added to the blood. The lymph passes through
nodular lymph glands, where harmful substances such as bacteria are filtered out. Lymph cells or
lymphocytes are important in the body¡fl
s immune system.

Introduction
Reproductive system refers to the group of organs that are necessary for or that are accessory
to the reproductive processes. The basic units of sexual reproduction are the male and female germ
cells, the organs within which the germ cells of animals mature and are stored, the organs through
which they are transported in the process of producing a new individual, and accessory glandular
organs.
The male reproductive system is composed of the testes, genital ducts, accessory genital
glands, and the external genitalia: the penis and the scrotum. The primary role of the male
reproduction system is to produce the male gamete (sperm), the sex hormone testosterone, and
seminal fluid, a nutrient rich fluid that transports and nourishes the sperm as they pass through the
genital ducts
The female reproductive system consists of the paired ovaries and oviducts, the uterus,
vagina, (collectively, the ovaries and duct system are known as the internal genitalia, positioned
within the pelvic cavity), external genitalia, and paired mammary glands. The female reproductive
system functions to synthesize the female gametes, ova; produce the sex hormones estrogens and
progesterone; and provide a protective environment in which the embryo develops until birth.

Introduction
The special senses (the sensory system) are receivers of information about the environment;
they allow us to feel, hear, taste, and smell. The sensory system includes the eyes, nose, ears, taste
buds of the tongue, and sense receptors carried in the dermal layer of the skin.
The eye is one of the few exposed organs of the body. A system of protection is, therefore, a
must for this organ. The eye is embedded in fat and is located in the bony eye orbit. It is in this
orbit that the optic nerve, ocular muscles, and other vessels and nerves are attached to the eyeball.
The conjunctiva, as soft membrane, covers the front part of the eyeball. The eyes are also
protected by the eyelids and eyelashes, which protect the eye from dust and dirt. Tarsal glands are
found in the inner part of the eyelid. These glands lubricate the edges of the eyelid. Lacrimal or
tear glands keep the eyeball supplied with moisture.
The eye itself is composed of three cell layers: the sclera, the choroids layer, and the retina.
The cornea, iris, pupil, and lens work together to project patterns of light upon the retina, which
signals these patterns to the brain via the optic nerve.
The external ear is made up of the auricle and the external auditory meatus (ear canal).
Sounds cause the eardrum to vibrate and transmit the vibrations by way of tiny bones in the inner
ear to sensitive hearing cells. The inner ear is known as the labyrinth, which contains the cochlea,
the semicircular canals, and the vestibule. These hearing cells signal the brain by means of the
acoustic nerve.
The nasal cavity is lined with olfactory cells that convey messages of smell to the brain via
the olfactory nerve. The nasal cavity is lined with a membrane that constantly secretes mucus and
fluids. Foreign substances are trapped in the nasal opening by coarse and fine hairs. The
glossopharyngeal nerve picks up messages from the taste buds on the tongue. The skin contains
structures that are specialized to pick up the sensations of temperature, pressure, and pain.

Introduction
Teeth are used primarily to chew food. They are the body¡fl
s hardest, most durable
organ¡“ long after bones and flesh have dissolved. Humans use teeth to tear, grind, and chew food
in the first step of digestion, enabling enzymes and lubricants released in the mouth to further
break down food. Teeth also play a role in human speech¡“ the teeth, lips, and tongue are used to
form words by controlling airflow through the mouth. Additionally, teeth provide structural
support to muscles in the face and form the human smile.
Dentistry is a health profession concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of
disorders of the teeth and adjacent tissues of the head, neck, and mouth. A dentist is a person
possessing the education, experience, and legal qualifications required to practice dentistry or any
of its phases. The practice of dentistry includes cleaning, filling, and extracting teeth, treating
diseased gum tissues, correcting irregularities in tooth alignment, performing surgical operations
on the mouth or jaw, and constructing and fitting artificial teeth or dentures.
Disorders in the mouth may cause diseases of other parts of the body; conversely, the teeth
and their supporting structures are affected by disease, abnormal conditions in distant parts of the
body. Because dental structures generally cannot repair themselves, care of the mouth represents a
unique health problem for which dentistry uses its own procedures and techniques, as well as
those of medicine, in order to prevent local complications as well as ill effects throughout the
body.

Introduction
Pharmacology deals with the interaction between chemical substances and living tissues. If
the chemical is primarily beneficial, its study falls under the title therapeutics; if primarily harmful,
its study is called toxicology. In either case, pharmacodynamics defines how the material is
absorbed by the body, where it acts, what its effect is, and how it is metabolized and excreted.
Physicians who specialize in pharmacology are called clinical pharmacologists. Pharmacists
who practice in hospitals also specialize in pharmacology, and they can advise physicians on the
optimal use of medicinal drugs.
Medicinal drugs are used for the prevention and control of disease. The study of drugs,
however, did not emerge as the distinct profession of pharmacy until the 17th century. In the 20th
century, the thousands of new drugs placed in the hands of physicians through research and
development have wrought a virtual revolution in medical practice.
Drugs are divided into two categories: the ethical or prescription drugs are normally available
only through prescription; and the proprietary or patent drugs are sold over the counter for relief of
minor and temporary ailments.

Introduction
When the body¡fl
s cells become abnormal and duplicate out of control a tumor is formed.
These may be cancerous (spreading) or benign (non-cancerous). Normal body cells divide in a
controlled and relatively slow rate, but in malignant cells the duplication is uncontrolled and often
at a very rapid rate. If the tumor is malignant the disease may develop in other parts of the body
where secondary tumors may form.
Cancer is not a single disease but a wide range of different diseases of which there are over a
hundred types. Cancers can be classified into two broad types: haematological (malignancies of
the blood) or solid tumors. The name of the cancer depends on the type of tissue or the site it
develops in. For example a sarcoma is a cancer arising from bone, muscle or connective tissue.
Carcinoma is cancer arising from cells of the glands and the outer layer of skin that lines blood
vessels, hollow organs and the body¡fl
s orifices.
The cause of most cancers remains unknown. A minority of cancers are known to be
hereditary, such as some breast cancers, retinoblastomas, and Wilms¡fltumors. In rare cases the
family may have a history of cancers. However, most cancers have no obvious hereditary cause.
Carcinogens are chemicals or environmental factors that may cause normal cells to become
abnormal and cancerous by damage or mutate a cells genetic material (DNA and RNA). For
example smoking is known to increase a person¡fl
s risk of lung cancer, likewise over-exposure to
ultraviolet sun light increases the risk of melanoma, and inhalation of asbestos dust can cause
mesophelioma. Some viruses are known to be carcinogens, for example the HTLV-1 virus is
associated with leukaemia. Excessive radiation exposure has also been linked with cancer
incidence. Other factors such as diet and lifestyle may influence cancer incidence.

Introduction
Bacteria inhabited Earth long before human beings or other living things appeared. Bacteria
are one-celled organisms without a distinct nucleus and they usually reproduce by cell division.
They are so tiny, most ranging from 1 to 10 micrometers, and are extremely variable in the ways
they obtain energy and nourishment. There are three common shapes of bacteria ¤Crods, spheres,
and spirals.
Bacteria can be found in nearly all environments ¤Cfrom air, soil, water, and ice to hot springs,
and even places without air. Some live in the extreme environments of active volcanoes and
hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. Bacteria also live in the human body. In fact, the average
healthy person is home to a stunning 100 trillion bacteria.
Most bacteria are free living, while others live in or on other organisms. Unfortunately, many
bacteria that have human hosts produce toxins that damage the body. Not all bacteria are harmful,
though. Some are neutral and many are even desirable as they fulfill important functions in the
body.
Virus are infectious agent found in virtually all life forms, including humans, animals, plants,
fungi, and bacteria. Viruses consist of genetic material¡“ either deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or
ribonucleic acid (RNA)¡“ surrounded by a protective coating of protein, called a capsid, with or
without an outer lipid envelope. Viruses are between 20 and 100 times smaller than bacteria and
hence are too small to be seen by light microscopy. Viruses are not considered free-living, since
they cannot reproduce outside of a living cell; they have evolved to transmit their genetic
information from one cell to another for the purpose of replication.
Viruses often damage or kill the cells that they infect, causing disease in infected organisms.
A few viruses stimulate cells to grow uncontrollably and produce cancers. Although many
infectious diseases, such as the common cold, are caused by viruses, there are no cures for these
illnesses. The difficulty in developing antiviral therapies stems from the large number of variant
viruses that can cause the same disease, as well as the inability of drugs to disable a virus without
disabling healthy cells. However, the development of antiviral agents is a major focus of current
research, and the study of viruses has led to many discoveries important to human health.

Introduction
Cellular biology is closely linked with molecular biology. To understand the functions of the
cell or the basic structural unit of living matter, cell biologists study its components on the
molecular level. Organismal biology, in turn, is related to cellular biology, because the life
functions of multi-cellular organisms are governed by the activities and interactions of their
cellular components. The study of organisms includes their growth and development
(developmental biology) and how they function (physiology).
Molecular biology, which spans biophysics and biochemistry, has made the most
fundamental contributions to modern biology. Much is now known about the structure and action
of nucleic acids and protein, the key molecules of all living matter. The discovery of the
mechanism of heredity was a major breakthrough in modern science. Another important advance
was in understanding how molecules conduct metabolism, that is, how they process the energy
needed to sustain life.
