    Study Notes

    Tissues

    • Epithelial tissue is responsible for secretion and absorption.
    • Connective tissue includes tendons and holds organs in place.
    • Muscle tissue is involved in contraction.
    • Nervous tissue is responsible for communication within the body.

    Feedback Loops

    • An example of a negative feedback loop is thermoregulation.
    • An example of a positive feedback loop is childbirth contractions.

    Homeostasis

    • Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a constant internal state despite external changes.

    Blood Vessels

    • Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
    • Capillaries are involved in the exchange of materials by diffusion with nearby cells.
    • Veins carry blood back to the heart and have one-way valves to prevent backflow.

    Circulatory System

    • The pulmonary circuit involves the right ventricle pumping blood to the lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen.
    • The systemic circuit involves pumping blood throughout the whole body.
    • The primary function of the circulatory system is to move oxygen from the lungs to the heart and pump nutrients to the rest of the body.

    Other Systems

    • The primary function of the respiratory system is to bring oxygen in and expel carbon dioxide.
    • The primary function of the urinary system is to remove excess fluids and waste products.
    • The primary function of the nervous system is to coordinate muscle functions.

    Blood Composition

    • Blood is composed of 55% plasma and 45% cells.

    Blood Pressure

    • Blood pressure is at its highest during the systolic phase.
    • Blood pressure is at its lowest during the diastolic phase.

    Blood Cells

    • The primary function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen.
    • The primary function of white blood cells is to act as immune cells.
    • The primary function of blood platelets is to help prevent and stop bleeding.

    Diaphragm

    • When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward.
    • The diaphragm contracts during inhalation.
