Human anatomy

Human anatomy is defined as the morphological study of the human body. It includes the study of all the body parts of a human body and their respective function.

The human body is primarily composed of cells. These cells form tissues and organs and the organs from the organ systems. The basic anatomy of the human body includes the following systems:

Skeletal system

Muscular system

Digestive system

Respiratory system

Circulatory system

Lymphatic system

Nervous system

Endocrine system

Urinary system

Reproductive system

Immune system

Skeletal system

Composition: The skeletal system comprises of all the bones, including the teeth, cartilage and joints.

Functions: The basic functions of the skeletal system includes

Providing basic framework to the body (Cooper, 2007)

Protecting internal organs like brain, heart and lungs.

Contains bone marrow and provide a medium to them for the production of red blood cells.

It helps in basic articulation and movement.

Muscular system

Composition: The muscular system consists of the muscles that work on coordination with the skeletal system and makes mobility possible. These muscles work in association to make the mobility possible (Frost, 2001, pp.6-7). The muscles are of three types:

Skeletal muscles

Smooth muscles

Cardiac muscles

Functions

Skeletal muscles:

Location: The skeletal muscles work in association with the skeletal system and there are attached to the bones.

Function: These muscles are also known as voluntary muscles. This is because their moment is ion an individual's own voluntary control. They help in a moment through this connection with the bones.

Smooth muscles:

Location: these muscles are located in the walls of urinary tract, the gastrointestinal system, heart and other organs inside the body.

Function: the smooth muscles are involuntary muscles. They work in response to the body needs. For example, the smooth muscles in the digestive tract contracts and relaxes to push the food forward.

Cardiac muscles

Location: these muscles are primarily located in the heart.

Function: cardiac muscles are involuntary in action they contracts and relaxes in a rhythmical manner and keeps the heart functioning.

Digestive system

Location: It is also known as the gastrointestinal tract. It starts from the mouth and ends at the anus. It is a long tubular tract.

Function: the digestive system plays an important role by the digestion of food. Food is the basic necessity of life. It is important that this food is properly digested to give appropriate nutrition to the human body.

Respiratory system

Composition: This system consists of the nose and lungs.

Functions: the basic function of this system is to make breathing possible. This involves inspiration and expiration of air.

Circulatory system

Composition: this system comprises of blood and the blood cells and blood ...
