Study Notes
Literary Criticism
- Literary Criticism: comparison, analysis, and evaluation of works of literature based on opinion backed up by evidence
- Literary Theory: the capacity to generalize about phenomena and to develop concepts for interpretation
Reproductive System
- The Reproductive System: a biological system made up of all anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction
- Fertilization: the essence/objective of the reproductive system
Male Reproductive System
- Produces sperm
- Parts of the Male Reproductive System:
- Internal: testes, epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, urethra
- External: penis, scrotum
Female Reproductive System
- Produces egg and nourishes the fetus until birth
- Parts of the Female Reproductive System:
- Internal: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix
- External: vulva, vagina
Hormones and Feedback Mechanism
- Feedback Mechanism: the process through which the level of one substance influences the level of another
- Homeostasis: state of balance within the system
- Hormones in Male Reproductive System:
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): necessary for sperm production
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH): stimulates testosterone production
- Testosterone: most important androgen (male sex hormone)
- Hormones in Female Reproductive System:
- Estrogen: assists in endometrial regrowth, ovulation, and calcium absorption
- Progesterone: assists in endometrial regrowth and inhibits FSH and LH production
- FSH: stimulates egg cell development
- LH: induces ovulation and stimulates estradiol and progesterone production
Endocrine System and Hormones
- Endocrine System: regulates growth, repair, digestion, homeostasis, and sexual reproduction
- Male Reproductive Hormones: develop and maintain male sex characteristics and aid in sperm production
- Female Reproductive Hormones: develop and maintain female sex characteristics, regulate fertility, menstrual cycle, and pregnancy
- Hypothalamus: stimulates GnRH production
Effects of Hormones and Menstrual Cycle
- Endocrine glands produce hormones that pass throughout the body
- Pituitary growth hormone: necessary for growth and development
- Thyroid Hormone: necessary for normal neck growth
- Reproductive Hormones: play pivotal roles in reproductive system development
- Positive Feedback Mechanism: estrogen stimulates GnRH and LH production
- Negative Feedback Mechanism: progesterone inhibits GnRH and LH production
- Menstrual Cycle:
- Menstruation: shedding of blood and tissues from the uterus
- Menarche: first menstrual cycle
- Menopause: last menstrual cycle, typically between 45 and 55 years old
- Phases of Menstrual Cycle: not specified
Nervous System and Neurons
- Nervous System: major control system that monitors, responds, and regulates all body systems
- Central Nervous System: "main processing center" for the nervous system
- Peripheral Nervous System: includes nerves connecting the CNS to the rest of the body
- Neurons:
- Dendrites: receive messages from other neurons
- Cell Body: in charge of neuron activity
- Myelin Sheath: covers and protects neuron fibers
