Study Notes
Life Processes
Nutrition
- Ingestion: Taking in food and nutrients
- Digestion: Breaking down food into smaller molecules
- Absorption: Taking in nutrients through the bloodstream
- Assimilation: Using nutrients for energy, growth, and repair
- Egestion: Eliminating waste products
Respiration
- Breathing: Taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide
-
Cellular Respiration: Converting glucose into energy (ATP) through cellular processes
- Aerobic Respiration: Occurs in presence of oxygen, produces ATP and water
- Anaerobic Respiration: Occurs in absence of oxygen, produces ATP and lactic acid
Transportation
-
Circulatory System: Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body
- Heart: Pumps blood throughout the body
- Blood Vessels: Arteries, veins, and capillaries transport blood
- Blood: Carries oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
Regulation and Control
-
Nervous System: Coordinates and regulates body functions
- Central Nervous System: Brain and spinal cord
- Peripheral Nervous System: Nerves and sensory receptors
-
Endocrine System: Produces and regulates hormones
- Hormones: Chemical messengers that regulate body functions
Excretion
- Kidneys: Filter waste and excess substances from the blood
- Liver: Detoxifies and breaks down substances
- Skin: Removes waste through sweating
- Lungs: Exhale carbon dioxide and other gases
Growth and Development
- Cell Division: Cells divide to produce new cells
- Cell Differentiation: Cells become specialized for specific functions
- Tissue Growth: Tissues grow and develop through cell division and differentiation
- Organ Growth: Organs develop and grow through tissue growth and differentiation
