Study Notes
Life Processes
Nutrition
- Ingestion: Taking in food and nutrients
- Digestion: Breaking down food into smaller molecules
- Absorption: Absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream
- Assimilation: Using absorbed nutrients for energy and growth
- Egestion: Eliminating waste products
Respiration
-
Cellular Respiration: Process of generating energy from glucose
- Aerobic Respiration: Requires oxygen, produces ATP and water
- Anaerobic Respiration: Doesn't require oxygen, produces lactic acid or ethanol
- Breathing: Inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide
Transportation
- Circulatory System: Heart, blood vessels, and blood work together to transport oxygen and nutrients
- Blood: Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
- Lymphatic System: Helps defend against disease and aids in immune function
Regulation and Control
- Homeostasis: Maintaining a stable internal environment
- Negative Feedback: Mechanisms that counteract changes to maintain homeostasis
- Hormones: Chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions
Coordination and Response
- Nervous System: Central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system work together to transmit and process information
- Sensory Receptors: Detect and respond to stimuli
- Reflexes: Automatic responses to stimuli
Growth and Development
- Mitosis: Process of cell division that results in two daughter cells
- Differentiation: Process by which cells become specialized
- Growth Factors: Hormones and other molecules that regulate growth and development
