    Study Notes

    Senses

    • Humans have 5 senses: smell, taste, vision, hearing, and skin
    • CNS interprets nerve impulses based on origin and frequency
    • Receptors receive and convert stimuli into potential
    • Different types of receptors detect specific stimuli:
      • Mechanoreceptors: detect limb position, muscle length, and tension
      • Chemoreceptors: detect smell and taste
      • Photoreceptors: detect light and vision
      • Thermoreceptors: detect temperature
    • Pain receptors signal discomfort and respond to excessive pressure, heat, light, and chemicals

    Vision

    • Involves detecting and interpreting visual stimuli
    • Photoreceptor cells in the eye convert light energy into nerve impulses
    • Two types of photoreceptors in the retina:
      • Rods: strong photosensitive, detect dim light, and used for night time vision
      • Cones: weakly photosensitive, respond to bright light, and primary role in daylight and color vision

    Respiratory System

    • Primary function: deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide
    • Gas exchange occurs in alveoli
    • Lungs are not usually operated at maximum capacity
    • Lung volume and capacities:
      • Tidal volume (TV): measures air inspired and expired during a normal breath
      • Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): additional air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation
      • Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): additional air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation
      • Residual volume (RV): air left in the lungs after exhalation
    • External respiration: exchange of gases between air and blood
    • The lungs are never completely empty, with some air always left in the lung to prevent tissue from sticking together

    Male Reproductive System

    • Scrotum houses the testicles or testes, providing passage for blood vessels, nerves, and muscles
    • Testes produce sperm and reproductive hormones
    • Sperm are immobile at body temperature, so scrotum and penis are outside the body
    • Accessory glands help sperm survive
    • Semen is a mixture of sperm and secretions from accessory glands
    • Seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral gland produce secretions that contribute to semen

    Female Reproductive System

    • Ovaries release oocytes and secrete hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
    • Fallopian tubes: fertilization occurs in the upper third of the oviduct
    • Uterus: where the fetus grows and develops
    • Endometrium: lining of the uterus that supports the fetus
    • Myometrium: muscle layer used for labor

    Fertilization and Human Development

    • Fertilization is the fusion of one sperm and one egg
    • Human development starts from fertilization
    • Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube
    • The fertilized egg develops into a zygote
    • The zygote undergoes rapid cell division (cleavage)
    • The blastula forms a hollow ball with a fluid-filled or yolk-filled cavity
    • Gastrulation: the cells in the blastula rearrange themselves to form 3 layers of cells (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endodermis)

    Selective Permeability of Lipid Bilayers

    • Cell membranes allow gas and water to pass, but not ions or large molecules
    • Selective permeability is necessary for maintaining balance of molecules on either side of the membrane
    • Osmosis: the process of achieving the same concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane
    • Types of solutions:
      • Hypertonic: outside salt concentration is greater than inside
      • Isotonic: outside salt concentration is equal to inside
      • Hypotonic: outside salt concentration is less than inside
