Study Notes
Digestive System Overview
- Pancreas: Produces enzymes like amylase, lipase, and protease for digestion.
- Mouth: Mechanical breakdown of food through chewing; salivary glands release saliva containing amylase.
- Liver: Synthesizes bile, critical for fat emulsification and neutralizing stomach acid.
- Gall bladder: Stores bile, releasing it when needed for digestion.
- Stomach: Churns food and secretes protease and hydrochloric acid to aid protein digestion and kill pathogens.
- Small intestine: Main site for nutrient absorption; digested food enters the bloodstream here.
- Large intestine: Absorbs water and minerals, preparing waste for excretion.
- Rectum and Anus: Store and expel faeces, respectively.
Cardiovascular System
- Heart: Pumps blood throughout the body; operates within a double circulatory system.
- Arteries: Carry blood away from the heart under high pressure; have thick, elastic walls and a small lumen to manage this pressure.
- Veins: Transport blood back to the heart at lower pressure; feature valves to prevent backflow and have thinner walls.
- Capillaries: Microscopic vessels that connect arteries and veins; one cell thick for efficient nutrient and gas exchange.
Organism and System Relationships
- Cells: Basic building blocks; similar structures may group to form tissues.
- Tissues: Collaborate to perform specific functions, grouped into organs.
- Organs: Multiple tissue types working together, performing a distinct function.
- Organ Systems: Groups of organs cogitating to fulfill complex roles, forming a complete organism.
Blood Vessel Structure and Function
- Arteries withstand high pressure due to their thick muscle and elastic walls.
- Veins have thin walls and larger lumen to accommodate lower pressure; valves ensure unidirectional blood flow.
Practical Testing for Nutrients
- Use specific reagents to test for starch, sugars, fats, and proteins in food samples.
- Safety precautions necessary when handling chemicals and ensuring no contamination occurs.
Microscopy of Cells
- Skin cells can be observed using a microscope; sticky tape can be used to collect samples.
- An electron microscope can reveal additional cellular structures not visible with a standard microscope.
Examination Tips
- Note left and right sides when analyzing heart diagrams; practice applying knowledge to different situations for practical exams.
