Study Notes
Coordinated Functions of Body Systems (Reproductive, Endocrine, and Nervous)
- Reproductive System: Governs new life, responsible for procreation.
- Develops and nourishes a new individual in the uterus.
- Produces gametes: Sperm (male), Egg (female).
- Produces reproductive hormones: Testosterone (male), Estrogen (female), and Progesterone (female), which travel through the bloodstream.
Male Reproductive System
- Secretes male sex hormone (testosterone).
- Produces and transfers sperm.
- Testis (singular; testes, plural): Secrets and makes testosterone, stimulating masculine characteristics.
Female Reproductive System
- Produces female sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone).
- Produces egg cells.
- Receives sperm from a male.
- Nurturing the development of and provides nourishment for the new individual (pregnancy).
Endocrine System
- Secretes hormones to regulate bodily functions (bone development, heartbeat, reproduction).
- Controls mood, growth, and development.
- Major organs: Pineal, Pituitary, Thyroid, Adrenal, Pancreas, Ovary, Testis (These are also major organs in the reproductive and nervous systems).
- Hormonal imbalances occur with too much or too little hormone in the blood.
- Puberty involves endocrine system's release of hormones for sexual maturity.
Nervous System
- Acts as the body's control center and physical response to reproduction.
- Sends, receives, and processes information throughout the body and from the environment.
- Major organ: Brain
Central Nervous System
- Brain: Controls most body functions.
- Spinal Cord: Pathway for messages between the brain and body.
Peripheral Nervous System
- Nerves (groups of neurons): Carry electrical impulses between the brain and body.
- Stimulus: Something that triggers a reaction.
Neuron Structure
- Dendrites: Receive information from sensory receptors (five senses).
- Nucleus: Center of life, providing energy.
- Cell Body: Holds the nucleus, the cell's life support.
- Axon: Carries the neuron's messages to other body areas.
- Myelin Sheath: Covers the axon (protection) and speeds neural impulses.
- Terminal Branches of Axon: Form junctions with other cells (connections).
Types of Neurons
- Sensory Neuron: Receives information (five senses).
- Interneuron: Processes information (brain and spinal cord).
- Motor Neuron: Causes action in muscles or glands (movement).
Feedback Mechanisms and Homeostasis
- Homeostasis: Process of maintaining a stable internal environment/balanced hormones.
- Feedback Mechanisms (Loops): Processes where a change triggers a response to return the system to normal.
- Positive Feedback: Amplifies a change—e.g., childbirth (oxytocin secretion).
- Negative Feedback: Decreases a change—e.g., blood sugar regulation (insulin secretion).
Menstrual Cycle
- Monthly process (ages 10-13) to prepare for possible pregnancy (28 days; menstruation 5-7 days).
- Ovarian Cycle: Events in the ovaries.
- Uterine Cycle: Events in the uterus.
- Pituitary Gland: Initiates hormonal changes for pregnancy.
- Major Hormones: FSH, LH, Progesterone, Estrogen.
Phases of Menstrual Cycle
- Menstruation (Menstrual Phase): Days 1-7. Uterine lining sheds, releasing blood, mucus, and tissue.
- Follicular Phase: Days 8-11. Ovaries mature follicles; prepares uterine lining for egg.
- Ovulation Phase: Days 11-15. Egg released on day 14.
- Luteal Phase: Days 16-28. Uterine lining thickens for potential implantation - fertilization leads to pregnancy, and no fertilization leads to menstruation.
- Corpus Luteum: Temporary gland producing progesterone.
Protein Synthesis and Mutations
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid): Double-helix; 4 nucleobases (Adenine-Thymine, Cytosine-Guanine).
- RNA (Ribonucleic Acid): Single-helix; 4 nucleobases (Adenine-Uracil, Cytosine-Guanine).
- Types of RNA: mRNA (message), rRNA (ribosomal structure), tRNA (carries amino acids).
Protein Synthesis Processes
- Transcription: DNA>mRNA
- Initiation/separation of DNA strands.
- Elongation (mRNA base pairings to DNA).
- Termination (mRNA leaves nucleus).
- Translation: mRNA>Protein; occurs in ribosomes.
Mutations
- Mistakes in DNA.
- Chromosomal Mutations: Large DNA pieces (in transcription). (Deletion, insertion, inversion, duplication).
- Gene Mutations: Individual nucleotide errors (in translation). (Silent, frameshift, nonsense, missense).
Theory of Evolution
- Evolution: Species change over time.
- Theory of Evolution: Explains that species develop from genetic changes over time.
- Lamarck: Proposed early theories of evolution. (use, disuse, acquired characteristics)
- Darwin: "Father of Evolution," developed the theory of natural selection.
- Wallace: Proposed similar ideas to Darwin.
- Natural Selection: Organisms better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully.
- Evidence of Evolution: Molecular (DNA), fossil record, comparative embryology, and structural/anatomical (homologous, analogous, vestigial).
Filipino Notes (Social Studies – Nelson Mandela)
- Anekdota: Short stories of impactful events in a person's life.
- Nelson Mandela: Imprisoned 27 years for anti-apartheid (racial discrimination) activism.
- Nobel Peace Prize: 1993, for fighting racial injustice.
- First Black president of South Africa: Elected in 1994.
- Mandela Day: Celebrates Nelson Mandela’s birthday (July 18th) and encourages acts of service.
Filipino - Social Studies – Communication Skills
- Communication Skills: The five macro skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, viewing).
- Grammatical/Linguistic Component: Understanding and using phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and orthography—correct use of words.
- Sociolinguistic Component: Ability to use appropriate language in social situations.
- Discourse Component: Using language meaningfully to convey and understand messages. (cohesion, coherence)
- Strategic Component: Handling communication challenges when language or situation isn't perfect.
Filipino Notes - Architecture of Peace (Archbishop Desmond Tutu)
- Apartheid: System of racial segregation in South Africa—including the Pass Law System.
- Nelson Mandela & FW de Klerk: Crucial role in ending apartheid and establishing a new constitution.
- Formal Essay: Addresses serious, complex topics.
- Informal Essay: Deals with lighter, personal topics.
