    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.
