Study Notes
Hormone Functions in Male and Female Reproductive Systems
- Testosterone is primarily responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics development.
- Progesterone's primary function in the female reproductive system is maintaining the uterine lining after ovulation, in preparation for pregnancy.
- Estrogen plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the female body for pregnancy by thickening the uterine lining during the first half of the menstrual cycle.
- Estrogen promotes the release of eggs.
- Progesterone thickens the uterine lining.
- Progesterone helps maintain the lining for potential implantation.
Hormone Roles in the Male Reproductive System
- Testosterone regulates sperm production.
- LH stimulates testosterone production.
- FSH helps with sperm production and maturation.
- LH promotes the growth of male reproductive organs.
Hormone Roles in the Female Reproductive System
- Estrogen thickens the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy.
- Estrogen causes uterine lining to shed when no fertilization occurs.
- LH causes ovulation.
- Progesterone maintains the uterine lining for pregnancy.
- Progesterone causes the shedding of uterine lining when no implantation occurs.
Mechanisms of Hormonal Control
- A negative feedback mechanism regulates estrogen levels during the menstrual cycle, where high estrogen levels inhibit the release of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH).
- Positive feedback mechanisms in the female reproductive system include LH surge triggered by estrogen levels to induce ovulation.
Nervous System
- The nervous system (NS) has two main divisions: Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
- The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.
- The Somatic Nervous System in the PNS, regulates voluntary movements.
- The nervous system regulates body temperature by controlling sweating and shivering.
- Sensory neurons detect changes and signal the brain, while motor nerves allow for actions like lifting a foot.
- The nervous system ensures homeostasis through multiple actions.
- The nervous system's involvement in detecting environmental changes through sensory receptors is called sensation.
Homeostasis Maintenance
- Homeostasis refers to the body maintaining a stable internal balance.
- Sweating helps maintain homeostasis by releasing heat through evaporation.
- Hormones are regulated during body function in harmony with each other.
- The nervous system plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis via sensory signals, and activating/controlling bodily responses to maintain internal balance.
DNA Structure and Replication
- Hydrogen bonds hold complimentary nitrogenous bases together in DNA.
- Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix during replication.
- DNA polymerase synthesizes a new strand by adding complimentary nucleotides.
Protein Synthesis
- mRNA carries the genetic code from the DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
- tRNA transports amino acids to build proteins.
- Ribosomes catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids.
- Stop codons signal protein synthesis termination.
Gene Mutations
- A mutation is a change in a gene due to damage or errors during copying.
- Mutations can occur during DNA replication.
Evolutionary Biology
- Natural selection, where organisms with advantageous traits survive in their environment, promotes adaptations in species.
