    Study Notes

    Female Reproductive System

    • Responsible for the production of oocytes (egg cells) and serves as the site for fertilization and fetal development.
    • Produces milk for newborns and hormones that influence sexual functions and behaviors.
    • Comprises the ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, and mammary glands.

    Male Reproductive System

    • Generates and transfers sperm cells to the female and produces hormones influencing sexual behaviors.
    • Consists of the testes, accessory structures, ducts, and penis.

    Homeostasis

    • Refers to the body’s ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.
    • Set points represent normal values for various variables (e.g., body temperature) and can adjust depending on body activities.

    Body Planes

    • Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right parts.
    • Median Plane: A sagittal plane along the midline that divides the body into equal halves.
    • Transverse Plane: Separates the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.
    • Frontal Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.

    Pericardium and Pericardial Cavity

    • Visceral Pericardium: Covers the heart; Parietal Pericardium: Thick, fibrous layer; together these form the pericardial cavity that reduces friction during heart movement.

    Peritoneum and Peritoneal Cavity

    • Visceral Peritoneum: Covers and anchors the abdominal organs; Parietal Peritoneum: Lines the inner wall of the abdominopelvic cavity; the peritoneal cavity also reduces friction.

    Pleura and Pleural Cavity

    • Visceral Pleura: Covers the lungs; Parietal Pleura: Lines the thoracic wall; the pleural cavity reduces friction and adheres the lungs to the thoracic wall.

    Cell Structure and Functions

    • Organelles are specialized structures within cells that perform essential functions for maintaining life.

    Movement Through Cell Membrane

    • Passive Transport: No energy is required; substances move along concentration gradients.
    • Diffusion: Movement from higher to lower concentration, e.g., oxygen entering cells and carbon dioxide exiting.
    • Osmosis: The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane impacted by solute concentration.
      • Hypotonic Solution: Lower solute concentration leads to cell swelling and potential lysis.

    Microvilli

    • Extensions of the cell membrane that increase surface area, especially in cells involved in absorption.

    Protein Synthesis and Genetic Control

    • Characteristics of a cell depend on proteins produced.
    • mRNA is created during transcription, exits the nucleus, and undergoes translation to form proteins.
      • Translation: mRNA attaches to ribosomes where tRNA reads codons and delivers corresponding amino acids, forming polypeptides.

    Structure of DNA

    • DNA consists of nucleotides made up of a 5-carbon sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.
    • Forms a double helix structure with specific pairing:
      • Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) in DNA, and Uracil (U) in RNA.
      • Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
