Study Notes
Digestive System
- The stomach is a temporary food storage organ that produces digestive juices
- Teeth break down food mechanically
- The liver is the largest internal organ and can regenerate after damage
- The liver produces bile to break down fats and process nutrients
- Digestive juices in the stomach include hydrochloric acid and pepsin
Different Parts of the Brain
- The cerebrum is responsible for balance, thinking, problem-solving, memory, movement, and learning
- The cerebellum controls muscle memory, coordination, and smooth movements
- The brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls breathing, swallowing, coughing, and sneezing
- The human body sneezes at speeds of 100 miles an hour due to the force of air expelled from the nose and mouth
The Heart
- The heart has four chambers: the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle
Circulatory System
- Blood is pumped to the lungs, the first step in the process of oxygen reaching the body
- Oxygen-rich blood travels from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary arteries
- The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
- The pulmonary vein is the only vein in the body that carries oxygenated blood
- Oxygen-poor blood returns to the lungs after oxygen is used by the body
Fish Circulatory System
- Fish have a single circulatory system with a two-chambered heart
- Frogs have a three-chambered heart
- Lambs have a closed double circulatory system
- After leaving the heart, blood travels to the gills for oxygenation in the fish's circulatory system
Platelets
- Platelets are tiny cell fragments that help in blood clotting
- The primary function of platelets is to clot blood
- Damage to a blood vessel triggers platelets to start the clotting process
- Platelets release chemicals to attract more platelets to the injury site, preventing excessive bleeding
- Over time, the clot formed by platelets hardens and forms a scab
Sensory Organs
- Sensory organs, like the nose, detect stimuli from the environment
- The stimulus for your ears is sound
- Sensory organs react to stimuli by sending signals to the brain
- Sensors in the ears make them sensitive to loud noises
What Does the Cerebrum Do?
- The cerebrum controls thinking, speaking, learning, emotions, and sensory functions
The Brain
- The brain and spinal cord are part of the nervous system
- The brain controls breathing and swallowing without conscious thought
- The cerebrum controls speaking, standing on one leg, kicking a ball, listening to music, and breathing faster while running
- The cerebellum controls kicking a ball
- Damage to the cerebellum, responsible for speech, can result in the inability to talk after a serious head injury
The Digestive System
- The digestive system consists of multiple organs that work together to absorb nutrients
- The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting to the stomach, transporting food and water
- The stomach is the first destination where food is broken down
- The small intestine absorbs nutrients
- The large intestine prepares waste products for elimination from the body
- The anus is the final exit for waste products
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body for survival
- We breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide
- The respiratory system includes two large tubes called bronchi, which lead into the lungs
- Bronchioles, smaller branches of the bronchi, are the smaller parts of the bronchi
