Study Notes
Circulatory System
- Superior vena cava: largest vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium
- Systemic circulation: passage of blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back
- Vein: blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood toward the heart
Respiratory System
- Trachea: main airway leading to the lungs
- Terminal bronchioles: smallest branches of the bronchi, leading to the alveoli
- Tidal volume: amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing
- Vital capacity: maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation
- Visceral pleura: inner layer of the pleura that covers the lungs
Human Anatomy
- Tricuspid valve: valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
- Vocal cords: folds of tissue in the larynx that produce sound when they vibrate
Evolution and Biology
- The Theory of Evolution: scientific theory that species evolve over time through natural selection
- The Origin of Species: book by Charles Darwin that introduced the theory of evolution by natural selection
- Vestigial structure: structure in an organism that has lost all or most of its original function through evolution
Diseases
- Tuberculosis: bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs but can spread to other organs
