Study Notes
Human Anatomy and Physiology
- Breakdown of macronutrients begins in the small intestine with fats.
- The cardiovascular system supplies oxygen and nutrients to body cells.
- Blood leaves the right ventricle via the pulmonary artery.
- The respiratory system removes carbon dioxide and supplies oxygen, with gas exchange occurring in the alveoli.
- Smooth muscle is responsible for peristalsis in the digestive tract.
- The pancreas is part of the endocrine system.
Genetics and Cell Biology
- Adaptation refers to the increase in alleles that enhance survival and reproduction chances.
- Germ cells are the source of mutations that can be passed to future generations.
- A strong acid is a substance that is completely ionized in solution and typically has a pH of 2.
- DNA codons encode amino acids, while nucleotides are to DNA as amino acids are to proteins.
- During cell replication, DNA is duplicated by polymerase enzymes.
Scientific Methodology
- The scientific process order is hypothesis, data collection, and analysis.
- Formulating a hypothesis allows predictions to be made based on prior knowledge.
- Independent variables are manipulated to observe effects on dependent variables in experiments.
- Multiple decimeter squares provide reliable data for studies like pollen counts.
Cellular Structure and Function
- Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, differentiating them from other cell types.
- Lysosomes are essential for cellular waste recycling.
- Ribosomes give rough endoplasmic reticulum its signature texture, facilitating protein synthesis.
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Water's high specific heat and high heat of vaporization contribute to its stability as a substance.
- Ionic bonds result from the donation and acceptance of electrons, providing stability to atoms.
- A solution with a pH of 7 is considered neutral.
Taxonomy and Biological Classification
- Taxonomic ranks from most general to most specific: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
- Phylum represents the most general taxonomic rank compared to Order, Family, and Genus.
Insights on Development and Organ Systems
- During gastrulation, individual tissue layers begin to form.
- The colon primarily absorbs water in the gastrointestinal tract.
- The human body has 11 organ systems, which perform complex functions and work together to form organ systems.
Research and Technology
- Scientific research relies on technology for recording data and establishing relationships through graphs and formulas.
- Advancements in mathematical and technological skills benefit industries like forensics and meteorology.
Reasoning and Argumentation
- Deductive reasoning involves conclusions following a general principle, while inductive reasoning draws conclusions from specific facts.
- Scientific arguments may change over time due to biases or inability to replicate results.
Various Types of Tissue
- Epithelial tissue is found in the skin, connective tissue in bone, muscle tissue in the heart, and nervous tissue in the brain.
- Tissues consist of similar cells working together, while multiple tissue types form organs that perform specific functions.
Fundamental Concepts
- Atoms are the smallest parts of elements that retain original properties, while molecules are formed from bonded atoms and possess their own characteristics.
- Cells are the basic unit of all life, combining to form tissues, which perform specific functions at the organ level.
