Integumentary System

The system that forms the body's protective outer layer, regulating temperature and sensing the environment.

Skeletal System

The framework of the body, providing support, movement, protection and mineral storage.

Muscular System

The system composed of muscles that facilitate movement, maintain posture and generate heat.

Nervous System

The control system directing the body's responses, actions and perceptions, using the brain and nerves.

Variation of Traits

Differences in traits among individuals in a population, influenced by genetics and environment.

Heritability

The degree to which genetic factors influence the variation of a trait within a population. It quantifies how much of the observed differences in a trait, like height, are due to genetic differences, not environmental factors.

7E Learning Cycle Model

A teaching model that uses seven stages to guide inquiry-based learning: Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate, and Extend. It aims to actively involve students and build on prior knowledge.

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).
