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
