Study Notes
Plant Reproduction
- Meiosis, a stage in a plant's life cycle, produces sex cells.
- The male gametophyte in flowering plants is pollen.
- The stigma is specialized to receive pollen grains.
- Anthers produce pollen grains.
- Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the anther to the stigma.
- Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of another plant.
- The purpose of the endosperm in plant reproduction is to nourish the developing embryo.
Human Reproduction
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves retrieving eggs from the woman's ovary and fertilizing them in a culture medium.
- Egg retrieval typically takes place 36 hours after the injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
- Ovarian stimulation in IVF helps to increase the number of eggs retrieved.
- Sperms are obtained for IVF through masturbation or surgical extraction.
- Internal fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube.
- Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries.
- Pregnancy begins when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
- During the 12th week of pregnancy, the fetus develops hundreds of thousands of eggs in the ovaries of biologically female fetuses.
Genetics and Evolution
- Genetic engineering involves transferring genes from one organism to another of a different species.
- DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic code of organisms.
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) stimulates the release of eggs from the ovary during IVF.
Circulatory System
- The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body.
- The bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- The aorta carries oxygenated blood to the entire body from the left ventricle.
- The inferior and superior vena cavae carry used blood from the legs, pelvis, and abdomen into the right atrium.
- Arteries distribute oxygenated blood to the body.
- Pulmonary circulation carries oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart.
- The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
Nervous System
- The central nervous system is responsible for sensing, processing information, and responding to stimuli.
- Sensory neurons receive the initial stimulus from sense organs such as the eyes and skin.
- The cell body of a neuron is called the soma.
- Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter responsible for controlling muscle contraction, heart rate, digestion, and memory.
- Locomotion is any variety of movement that results in progression from one place to another.
Hormones
- Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels.
- The pancreas produces insulin to lower glucose levels in the blood.
- Progesterone stimulates the thickening of the uterine lining.
- Testosterone supports sperm production and promotes secondary characteristics in males.
- Melatonin regulates sleep, mood, and eating.
Plant Hormones
- Auxins stimulate cell division and the making of new plant organs.
- Ethylene exists as a gas and affects ripening and rotting in plants.
- Abscisic acid is produced to alert the rest of the plant that it is water stressed.
- Gibberellins are involved in cell division and the making of new plant organs.
- Cytokinins are involved in repair and help a wounded plant fix itself.
Evolution
- Embryological features of organisms provide evidence for evolution.
- Homologous structures, such as the arm of man, the fin of the whale, the wing of the bat, and the leg of the dog, are examples of similar structures in different organisms.
- Analogous structures, such as the wing of a bird and the wing of a bat, are examples of similar functions in different organisms.
- Vestigial structures, such as the human appendix, are remnants of organs that were once functional in ancestors.
- Mutations in genes provide evidence for evolution.
