PREFACE TO VOLUME 3 Volume 3 of the four-volume The Facts On File Encyclopedia of Health and Medicine presents the body systems that support the body through biochemical functions. From the breakdown of foods into nutrient forms the body can use to the intertwining of hormones with nearly every other body system, biochemistry is the basis of cellular function. The Gastrointestinal System Leading Volume 3 is “The Gastrointestinal System,” presenting the organs, structures, and functions that deliver nutrients to cells throughout the body. Complex biochemical processes break down all consumed foods into their basic molecular structures, the biochemical forms the body’s cells can use. No matter what a food’s original form—apple, steak, french fries—the gastrointestinal system reduces it to molecules. The body then uses the molecules for fuel to maintain cellular activity and metabolism. Among the nutrients essential to sustain life are vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. As efficient as these processes are for distilling foods into nutrients, there is of course material the body cannot digest or use. The gastrointestinal system takes care of that, too, carrying solid waste from the body. The Endocrine System The endocrine system is the body’s network of glands and hormones. Glands produce hormones, the chemical messengers that direct myriad activities within the body. The hormones the endocrine system produces interact with every other body system and are responsible for key functions such as metabolic rate, blood pressure, and the sleepwake (circadian) cycle. xiii Hormones also manage the processes of digestion. Fat molecules (lipids) are essential for the production of many hormones. Estrogen brings the process full circle through its role in how the body breaks down and uses lipids. The most common association many people have with hormones is their role to regulate growth and to initiate and maintain secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive ability. Following a person’s unique genetic blueprint, hormones determine how fast and how tall the person grows. Hormones also give a man his deep voice and regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle. The Urinary System The urinary system contains the organs and structures that filter biochemical wastes from the blood and excrete them from the body. All blood passes through the kidneys, which filter from it the wastes of cellular metabolism. If allowed to accumulate in the blood circulation, these wastes rapidly become toxic. Through their filtration functions, the kidneys also maintain the body’s fluid and electrolyte levels to help regulate blood pressure. These versatile organs also produce hormones essential for blood pressure regulation. The kidney was the first organ to be successfully transplanted, and today kidney transplantation is the most commonly performed transplant operation. Thousands of people receive transplanted kidneys every year in the United States; kidney transplantation is the only successful treatment for end stage renal disease, a common complication of diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure). Some structures of the male urinary system— the penis, urethra, and prostate gland—do double duty as organs of the male reproductive system.
