Study Notes

Body Systems

  • Cells are the basic units of the body, creating organs like muscle, nerves, and skin.
  • Tissues are groups of similar cells working together, such as muscle tissue (tkanka mięśniowa).
  • Organs are formed when different tissues work together.

Systems of the Body

  • Circulatory System (ukÅ‚ad krwionoÅ›ny):
    • Consists of the heart, blood, blood vessels (veins, arteries, and capillaries).
    • Transports blood throughout the body.
  • Lymphatic System (ukÅ‚ad limfatyczny):
    • Includes lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes.
    • Contains a clear fluid (lymph) that fights diseases.
  • Digestive System (ukÅ‚ad pokarmowy):
    • Breaks down food for the body to absorb nutrients.
    • Removes waste products.
  • Endocrine System (ukÅ‚ad hormonalny):
    • Produces hormones which regulate bodily functions.
  • Musculoskeletal System (ukÅ‚ad mięśniowo-szkieletowy):
    • Includes the muscular and skeletal systems, working together.
    • Supports the body and allows movement.
  • Nervous System (ukÅ‚ad nerwowy):
    • Carries electrical messages between the brain and spinal cord, and the body.
  • Reproductive System (ukÅ‚ad rozrodczy):
    • Produces cells (gametes) for reproduction (e.g. ovaries - jajniki).
  • Respiratory System (ukÅ‚ad oddechowy):
    • Controls respiration (breathing).
  • Urinary System (ukÅ‚ad moczowy):
    • Produces and removes urine.
  • Skin and Sense Organ System (ukÅ‚ad narzÄ…dów zmysłów):
    • Covers and protects the body.

Organs

  • Pituitary gland (przysadka mózgowa)
  • Prostate gland (prostata)
  • Vertebrae (krÄ™gi)
  • Ovaries (jajniki)

Jeanne Calment

  • French woman who lived to be 122 years and 164 days old.

Resveratrol

  • An ingredient found in red wine.
  • Produced in grape skins during fermentation.
  • A powerful antioxidant that may combat oxidative stress.
  • Possibly has an anti-aging effect, and a link to a reduced incidence of heart disease in French populations.

Well - Being

  • Physical well-being: Maintaining health through exercise, nutrition, sleep, and medical care.
  • Emotional well-being: Managing emotions, stress, and mental health.
  • Social well-being: Having strong, supportive relationships.
  • Psychological well-being: Sense of purpose, self-esteem, and personal growth.
  • Basic human needs (food, water, shelter)
  • Economic needs (employment, education, financial security)
  • Environmental needs (clean air and water, healthy environment).
  • Subjective happiness (life satisfaction, freedom, sense of community)

Eugenics

  • The study of improving the genetic quality of a human population.
  • Often associated with forced sterilizations and discriminatory policies.

Genetics vs. Epigenetics

  • Genetics studies how traits are passed through DNA.
  • Epigenetics studies how environmental factors affect gene expression without changing the DNA sequence.

Medical Terms

  • AIDS - Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
  • BDNF - Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor
  • HIV - Human Immunodeficiency Virus
  • STD/STI - Sexually Transmitted Disease / Sexually Transmitted Infection
  • CBC/TBC - Complete Blood Count / Total Blood Count
  • EBM - Evidence-Based Medicine
  • WHO - World Health Organization
  • MEWS - Modified Early Warning Score
  • ZSWOK- Zespół Wczesnej Oceny Klinicznej (Early Warning Clinical Assessment Team)
  • HAV - Hepatitis A virus
  • HBV - Hepatitis B virus
  • HCV - Hepatitis C virus

Additional Notes

  • Informed consent: A document a patient signs to allow healthcare.
  • Physical examination: The process by which a doctor checks a patient's health.
  • Practices, Diagnosis, Prognosis: Procedures, Analysis and prediction of illness course.

Sirtuins

  • Proteins that regulate metabolic processes, cellular ageing & responses to oxidative stress.
  • Involved in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene activity.
  • Research focuses on their role in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative conditions.
  • Potential impact on longevity and health, particularly those with activators like resveratrol.

Longevity (długowieczność)

  • Sirtuins play a key role in slowing down cellular aging, protecting against oxidative stress, and regulating metabolism.
  • Their activity helps maintain cellular health, which may contribute to longevity.
  • Impact on human longevity is still under research.
