Definition
Human Anatomy is the branch of anatomy devoted to the structure of the human body. It cannot be totally divorced from physiology because structure and function go hand in hand.
The Major Systems of the Human Body
- Skeletal System
- Lymphatic System
- Integumentary System
- Cardiovascular System
- Muscular System
- Endocrine System
- Nervous System
- Respiratory System
- Reproductive System
- Excretory System
- Digestive System
- Immune System
Traditionally there were only eleven systems but as knowledge has grown, the Immune System, sometimes called the Lymphoid System, has been added because of its great importance, even though it is closely allied to the Lymphatic System. The Excretory Sytem is also referred to as the Urinary System.
Memory Aids for the Systems of the Human Body
A mnemonic for the traditional eleven systems is:
- SLIC MEN R RED
For all twelve, you might use:
- RELICS REMIND
- Reproductive
- Excretory
- Lymphatic
- Immune
- Cardiovascular
- Skeletal
- Respiratory
- Endocrine
- Muscular
- Integumentary
- Nervous
- Digestive
