Study Notes
Endocrine System
- Thymosin is a hormone produced by the thymus gland, enabling antibody production.
- Growth hormone regulates body growth and development.
- The pituitary gland is the master gland of the endocrine system.
- The scrotum maintains a slightly lower temperature than the body to support sperm production.
- Testes are located outside the body in the scrotum for optimal sperm development at lower temperatures than body temperature.
Reproductive System
- Vas deferens carries mature sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
- Fallopian tubes are essential for fertilization, as fertilization typically happens here.
- Progesterone levels' fall after ovulation triggers uterine lining shedding (menstruation).
- Fallopian tubes (oviducts) carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
- Estrogen stimulates ovulation and thickens the uterine lining.
- The uterine lining sheds during menstruation due to decreasing estrogen and progesterone levels.
- The menstrual cycle is a 28-day recurring process that prepares the female body for pregnancy.
Nervous System
- The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
- The brain is the central control center for the nervous system.
- DNA stores genetic information within cells.
- Uracil is a nitrogenous base not found in DNA.
- The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses through adrenaline release and increased heart rate.
- Rest and digestive functions are primarily controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system.
