Study Notes
Health and Wellness
- Health encompasses complete physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being.
- Wellness is an active process involving awareness and choices to enhance health.
- Well-being is determined by personal satisfaction with life and interrelated aspects of health.
- Regular healthcare visits are important for maintenance, not just treatment of illness.
Factors Affecting Health
- Risk factors can increase the likelihood of disease, both genetic (uncontrollable) and lifestyle/environmental (controllable).
- Protective factors enhance health and mitigate risks.
- The environment influences health; includes physical, social, and economic components.
- Healthy lifestyle choices promote long-term health and wellness.
Health Skills Development
- Decision-making involves identifying choices, exploring options, evaluating outcomes, and reflecting on decisions.
- SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely) are essential for effective health planning.
- Refusal skills help maintain personal health goals against peer pressure.
- Conflict resolution skills aid in healthy relationship maintenance through negotiation.
- Health literacy involves effective understanding and communication of health information.
Body Systems Overview
- Cells form tissues, which group into organs that perform specific functions.
- The integumentary system (skin, hair, nails) protects and maintains body integrity.
- The skeletal system consists of 206 bones providing structure and protection; ligaments join bones at joints.
- The muscular system enables movement via three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Circulatory and Respiratory Systems
- The circulatory system distributes blood and substances, with arteries delivering oxygen-rich blood and veins transporting oxygen-poor blood.
- Capillaries exchange oxygen and nutrients with body cells, while blood also removes carbon dioxide and waste, regulates temperature, and provides infection protection.
- The respiratory system facilitates oxygen delivery to blood and carbon dioxide removal (respiration).
Digestive and Excretory Systems
- The digestive system breaks down food, extracts nutrients, and eliminates waste as feces from the large intestine.
- The urinary system, including kidneys and bladder, removes liquid waste.
- The lymphatic system and immune system eliminate foreign substances; key components include lymph nodes and white blood cells.
Nervous and Endocrine Systems
- The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and sensory organs; it controls functions and processes sensory information.
- The endocrine system regulates bodily functions via hormones produced by glands (e.g., pituitary, thyroid, adrenal).
Skin, Hair, and Nail Care
- Personal hygiene involves regular bathing and deodorant use to prevent odor.
- Healthy diet, hydration, and sleep enhance skin health; excessive sun exposure can cause damage and increase skin cancer risk.
- Acne and eczema are common skin conditions; treatment involves gentle cleansing and over-the-counter products.
- Regular hair washing and a healthy diet support hair health; nails should be kept clean and trimmed.
Oral, Eye, and Ear Health
- Good oral hygiene prevents infections, cavities, and gum disease; brushing and flossing twice daily are essential.
- Eye protection during sports and use of sunglasses are crucial; vision issues can often be corrected.
- Hearing loss risks increase with loud sounds; protective measures are needed to safeguard ear health.
Sleep Importance
- Sleep deprivation hampers physical healing and recovery; a sleep deficit leads to negative health effects.
- Circadian rhythms regulate sleep-wake cycles; disruptions can lead to health issues.
- Melatonin promotes sleepiness, while blue light from devices can disrupt natural sleep patterns.
Sleep Disorders
- Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS) is common in adolescents, characterized by late sleep onset.
- Insomnia impacts the ability to fall or stay asleep and affects overall health.
- Parasomnia includes behaviors like sleepwalking and nightmares, while sleep apnea involves breathing interruptions during sleep, which can be serious.
