Study Notes
Skeletal System
- The largest bone in the human body is the femur.
Nervous System
- The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating muscle movements and balance.
- The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response.
Respiratory System
- The main function of alveoli in the lungs is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Urinary System
- The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney.
Circulatory System
- The coronary artery supplies blood to the heart muscle.
- The majority of carbon dioxide is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions.
- A normal resting heart rate for adults is between 60-100 beats per minute.
Endocrine System
- Thyroxine regulates the body's metabolic rate.
Blood
- The primary function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen.
- Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions, dissolved in plasma, and bound to haemoglobin.
