    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
