    Study Notes

    Scientific Method

    • Sequence: problem identification, question asking, developing a hypothesis, experimentation, data analysis, conclusion

    Data Collection Steps

    • Involves observation, measurement, samples, and organization

    Reasoning Types

    • Deductive reasoning: draws specific conclusions from general principles
    • Inductive reasoning: formulates general principles from specific facts

    Atoms and Molecules

    • Atoms: smallest unit of an element, essential for forming molecules
    • Molecules: formed by the chemical bonding of atoms, essential building blocks of cells

    Organs and Tissues

    • Organs: structures made of two or more tissue types working together for specific functions
    • Four types of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous

    Epithelial Tissue

    • Functions: provides coverings and produces secretions, depends on capillaries for nutrients via diffusion
    • Types:
      • Simple epithelium: single layer, involved in absorption, secretion, filtration
      • Stratified epithelium: multiple layers, provides protection
    • Shapes: squamous, cuboidal, and columnar

    Connective Tissue

    • Forms the framework for tendons, ligaments, bones, blood, and adipose (fat); some lack a blood supply

    Types of Muscle Tissue

    • Skeletal: voluntary movement, attached to bones
    • Cardiac: involuntary control, found in the heart
    • Smooth: involuntary control, present in hollow organs (intestines, blood vessels, bladder, uterus)

    Nervous Tissue

    • Comprises the brain, spinal cord, and nerves

    Circulatory System

    • Composed of heart, blood vessels, and blood; functions to circulate oxygen, hormones, and nutrients throughout the body

    Digestive System

    • Extends from mouth to anus, includes organs such as esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas; functions to digest and break down food

    Small Intestine

    • Comprised of duodenum, jejunum, ileum; primary site for nutrient absorption

    Colon Function

    • Removes water from waste after nutrient absorption in the small intestine

    Liver Function

    • Produces bile necessary for fat breakdown

    Pancreas Function

    • Delivers enzymes to the small intestine to aid in digestion

    Endocrine System

    • Controls growth and metabolism; consists of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream

    Endocrine Glands

    • Includes pineal, pituitary, thalamus, hypothalamus, thyroid, thymus, adrenals

    Integumentary System

    • Composed of skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails; protects internal tissues from injury, waterproofs the body, and regulates temperature
