Study Notes

Sense Organs

Chameleons can move their eyes independently, allowing them to see in two directions simultaneously.
Human nose contains nerve endings that send messages about chemical substances, enabling the sense of smell.
The human ear consists of three parts: outer ear (visible portion), middle ear (contains ear drum and ossicles), and inner ear (responsible for hearing and balance).
Different animals have varied external ear shapes, which aid in sound direction.
The human tongue possesses approximately 9,000 taste buds, sensitive to four tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter; pigs have 15,000 and rabbits have 17,000.
Skin is the largest sense organ, providing protection and sensations of pain, touch, pressure, heat, and cold.

Joints

Gliding joints are found in wrists, ankles, and between vertebrae, allowing for flexibility and movement in multiple directions.
Understanding body part movements can help identify the type of joint involved in each action.

Sensory Processing

Humans rely on five sensory organs: nose, eyes, ears, tongue, and skin to gather information, which is sent to the brain for processing.
Dysfunction in any sense organ impacts one's ability to smell, see, hear, taste, or feel.

Eyes Anatomy

Eyeballs are housed in bony sockets and protected by eyelids and eyelashes from debris.
The iris is the colored part of the eye, while the pupil allows light to enter, and the retina is where images are formed.

Plant Nutrition

Plants, like humans and animals, require energy to grow, repair, and reproduce, obtained through food.
Green leaves act as food factories through a process called photosynthesis, which synthesizes food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light (photo means ‘light’ and synthesis means ‘putting together’).
