Document preview thumbnail
Preview 2 out of 6 pages

Explains stress as a response to negative stimuli, highlighting the role of the HPA axis and autonomic nervous system in regulating stress via cortisol, adrenaline, and neurotransmitters. Details the skeletal system, including bone composition, cell types, the importance of calcium and vitamin D, and bone growth regulation through hormones and bioethics considerations. Covers blood components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins, emphasizing oxygen transport, clotting, and immune functions. Describes the lymphatic system's role in fluid balance and immune defense, including lymph nodes and immune cell activation. Outlines the immune response stages, from physical barriers to innate and adaptive immunity, including vaccine mechanisms and immune cell functions like B cells, T cells, NK cells, and the complement system.
