    Study Notes

    Multicellular Organisms

    • Multicellular organisms have five levels of organization: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms.
    • Cells are the basic building blocks.
    • Tissues are groups of specialized cells working together.
    • Organs are groups of tissues working together.
    • Organ systems are groups of organs working together.
    • Multicellular organisms are increasingly complex.

    Plant and Animal Organs

    • Plants have roots, stems, and leaves.
    • Animals have organs like the brain, heart, liver, intestines, lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder.
      • Specific functions are given for each organ.

    Respiratory System

    • The respiratory system is involved in breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide.
    • The system has a process of breathing in inhaling and breathing out exhaling.
    • These processes are performed by muscles between the ribs, and the diaphragm.
    • Measurements of respiration, and lung volume are possible with equipment such as plastic bottles.

    Skeleton

    • The skeleton supports the body, protects vital organs and helps with movement.
    • Bones are major parts of the skeleton.
    • Bone marrow produces blood cells.
    • Joints allow bones to move.
      • Types of joints include hinge and ball-and-socket joints.
      • Cartilage protects bones in joints.
      • Ligaments connect bones.

    Muscles

    • Muscles work in pairs, antagonistic muscles.
    • Muscles contract (shorten) to move bones.
    • Types of muscles include cardiac (heart), smooth, and skeletal muscles.
      • Tendons connect muscles to bones.
    • Muscles contract and relax to create movement.

    Breathing

    • Breathing involves muscles contracting and relaxing.
    • Inhaling: Muscles between ribs contract, ribs move up and out; diaphragm contracts, chest cavity expands, air rushes in.
    • Exhaling: Muscles relax, ribs move down and in; diaphragm relaxes, chest cavity shrinks, air forced out.
    • The composition of inhaled and exhaled air has differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide.

    Measuring Lung Volume

    • Lung volume can be measured using a simple apparatus, like a plastic bottle and tube.
    • Exhaling into the device effectively shows the volume of air expelled from the lungs.
