Study Notes
Human Nervous System
- The autonomic nervous system is responsible for involuntary actions like breathing and digestion.
- The brainstem is responsible for controlling heart rate and breathing.
- Dopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and reward.
- The outermost layer of the brain is called the cerebrum.
- The spinal cord is responsible for transmitting sensory information to the brain, controlling voluntary movements, and controlling reflexes.
- The thalamus is responsible for processing and integrating sensory information.
- The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight or flight response.
- Damage to the olfactory nerve (I) can cause loss of sense of smell.
- The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating body temperature and hunger.
- The myelin sheath in neurons speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses.
Human Excretory System
- The functional unit of the kidney is called a nephron.
- Filtration is the process of removing waste products from the blood.
- The urinary bladder is responsible for storing urine before it is eliminated from the body.
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys.
- The ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
- The glomerulus is the structure of the nephron responsible for filtration.
- The kidneys excrete waste products such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid.
- Reabsorption is the process by which water and useful substances are reabsorbed back into the blood from the kidney tubules.
- The urethra serves as a passage for urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
- The kidney is responsible for producing urine.
Additional Facts
- The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating voluntary muscle movements and maintaining balance and posture.
- A synapse is the gap between two neurons where communication occurs.
- The peripheral nervous system consists of the spinal cord and nerves throughout the body.
- The occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information.
- The somatic nervous system is responsible for controlling voluntary movements of skeletal muscles.
