Study Notes
Sperm Production
- Sperm are produced in the testes.
Secondary Sexual Characteristics
- Hormones are responsible for secondary sexual characteristics.
Fallopian Tubes
- Fallopian tubes transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus.
Oesophagus
- The oesophagus is a muscular tube connecting the mouth to the stomach.
- It passes through the thorax.
Stomach Action
- The stomach helps digest food through muscular contractions.
- It uses hydrochloric acid.
Small Intestine Absorption
- The small intestine has a large surface area for efficient nutrient absorption.
Blood Components
- Blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Heart Structure and Valves
- The heart has four chambers and valves that prevent backflow.
- Valves regulate the direction of blood flow.
Blood Flow Through the Heart
- Blood flows through the heart in a specific pathway.
White Blood Cells
- Different types of white blood cells defend against infection.
Kidney Filtration
- Kidneys filter waste products from the blood.
- Glomerular filtration membrane controls what enters the filtrate.
Kidney Waste Products
- Kidneys excrete nitrogenous waste products.
- Nitrogenous means containing nitrogen.
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems
- Sympathetic nervous system is activated during stress or danger.
- Parasympathetic nervous system controls normal body functions.
Nerve Cell Structure
- Nerve cells receive messages at the dendrites and transmit signals through the axon.
