    Study Notes

    Nephron Function

    • The functional part of the nephron is led by the glomerulus
    • Its organization is integral to the function of the nephron
    • The nephron takes part in both osmoregulation and excretion
    • The filtrate is called urea

    Ear Structure

    • The part of the ear that receives vibrations is the eardrum
    • The cochlea is responsible for sound vibrations
    • Ear hair is responsible for sound vibrations

    Brain Structure

    • The part of the brain that responds to anger, pain, and pleasure is the hypothalamus
    • The thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information
    • The medulla oblongata is responsible for controlling involuntary functions

    Digestive System

    • The first part of the small intestine is the duodenum
    • The last part of the small intestine is the ileum
    • The rectum is the last part of the large intestine

    Skin Structure

    • The outermost layer of the skin is the cornified layer
    • The growing layer is the Malpighian layer
    • The layer of the skin that is immediately beneath the epidermis is the dermis

    Glands

    • The adrenal gland is located above the kidney
    • The thymus gland is responsible for the development of immune cells
    • The pituitary gland is found below the hypothalamus
    • The liver is responsible for filtering blood and producing bile

    Blood Flow

    • The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the liver to the heart
    • The liver is responsible for filtering blood and producing bile

    Eye Structure

    • The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye
    • The cornea is transparent and allows light to enter the eye
    • The retina is the innermost layer of the eye and contains photoreceptors
    • Cones are photoreceptors that are sensitive to color and bright light
    • Rods are photoreceptors that are sensitive to low light levels

    Mechanoreceptors

    • Mechanoreceptors respond to pressure, vibration, and roughness
    • Temperature is not a stimulus for mechanoreceptors

    Homeostasis

    • The heart is not involved in homeostasis
    • Skin, lungs, and liver are involved in homeostasis

    Stem Cells

    • Spermatogenic cells are the stem cells from which all other cells arise
    • Leydig cells are involved in the development of sperm
    • Sertoli cells are involved in the development of sperm

    Hormones

    • FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle
    • Oestrogen is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle
    • Progesterone is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle

    Brain Function

    • The cerebrum is responsible for voluntary actions
    • The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement
    • The medulla oblongata is responsible for controlling involuntary functions
    • The pia mater is the innermost meningeal layer that covers the brain and spinal cord

    Cell Division

    • Spermatogenesis involves four spermatocytes that produce eight sperm
    • Oogenesis involves four oocytes that produce one egg

    Neurotransmitters

    • The neuromuscular junction is a highly specialized synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber
    • The synapse is the gap between the end of an axon and the beginning of a dendrite

    Endocrine System

    • The adrenal gland is located above the kidney
    • The insulin-producing cells are located in the pancreas
