Study Notes

Organ Systems and Their Functions

Integumentary System: Composed of skin, hair, nails, and glands; functions as a protective barrier, regulates temperature, and provides sensory reception.
Skeletal System: Composed of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons; provides support, movement, protects organs, and stores minerals.
Muscular System: Composed of smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscles; functions in movement, posture, and heat generation.
Nervous System: Composed of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves; coordinates control, sensory perception, and motor control.
Cardiovascular System: Composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood; transports oxygen, nutrients, waste, and regulates temperature and pH.
Lymphatic System: Composed of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, spleen, and thymus; functions in immunity, fluid balance, and transporting fatty acids.
Respiratory System: Composed of lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm; functions in oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange.
Digestive System: Composed of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas; functions in food breakdown, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination.
Urinary System: Composed of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra; functions in waste removal, fluid and electrolyte balance, and blood pressure regulation.
Endocrine System: Composed of glands (pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive); produces hormones for growth, metabolism, reproduction, and development.
Reproductive System: Composed of ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, testes, seminal vesicles, and prostate; functions in gamete production and reproduction.

Heredity, Inheritance, and Variation

Heredity: The passing of physical or mental traits from one generation to the next through genes.
Inheritance: The process where genetic information is passed from parents to offspring.
Variation of Traits: Differences in traits among individuals within a population; influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Heritability is the degree to which genetic factors contribute to phenotypic variation.

The 7E Learning Cycle Model

The 7E Model is an inquiry-based learning model developed by Arthur Eisenkraft in 2003.
Stages: Elicit (prior knowledge), Engage (curiosity), Explore (hands-on), Explain (clarify), Elaborate (apply), Evaluate (assessment), and Extend (real-world).
