• Healthy teeth provide the ability to chew food and speak clearly.
• Healthy gums hold teeth firmly in place.
• Malocclusion is a misaligned bite.
• Wisdom teeth may require removal if they lack space or grow at a bad angle.
• Poor teeth/gum health can lead to trouble chewing and speaking, tooth decay, and gum disease.
• Five ways to prevent tooth and gum problems include diet, brushing, flossing, mouthguards, and dental checkups.
• Healthy gums fit tightly around teeth.

Teeth & Gums

• An orthodontist corrects jaw/teeth alignment using braces and other devices.
• Halitosis is bad breath, often caused by plaque buildup and gum disease.
• Plaque, a sticky bacteria film, hardens into tartar.
• Tartar irritates gums and causes periodontal disease.
• Tartar is harmful as it irritates gums and contributes to disease.

Skin, Hair & Nails

• Skin protects from injury/infection/water loss.
• Hair shields the scalp from sun, insulates, and blocks debris.
• Nails protect fingertips/toes.
• Four basic behaviors for healthy skin: washing with mild soap, balanced diet, hydration, and enough sleep.
• Additional ways to care for the skin: prevent damage, monitor moles, treat acne, and treat eczema.
• Shampooing removes dirt/oil buildup from sebaceous glands.
• Keeping nails clean and trimmed prevents the spread of infections and avoids injuries.

Vision and Hearing

• Light travels through the eye: light strikes rods/cones, optic nerves carry impulses, and the brain flips and combines images from both eyes to create a single, right-side-up image.
• Sound travels through the ear: sound enters the ear canal, vibrates the eardrum, vibrations reach the middle ear, are processed by auditory nerves, and are interpreted by the brain.
• Three ways to protect eye health: wear protective goggles, use sunglasses, and get regular eye exams.
• Important ear care practices: keep ears clean, monitor noise exposure, and consult a doctor for issues.
• The brain processes images from both eyes to combine slightly different perspectives into a single 3D image and correct the initial upside-down projection.
• The cornea is the clear front tissue covering the eye.
• The pupil is the opening for light entry.
• The iris is the circular muscle controlling pupil size.
• The lens focuses light onto the retina.
• The retina contains the light-sensitive cells.
• The eardrum vibrates when sound waves strike it, transmitting vibrations to the middle ear.
• The cochlea is a fluid-filled tube that converts sound vibrations to nerve signals.
• The semicircular canals detect head movements for balance.
• "Sound vibrations", not "sand vibrations" strike the eardrum.
• The iris adjusts pupil size to control light entering the eye, like a camera aperture.

Sleep Health

• Adequate sleep supports the immune system, enables healing, and helps prevent diseases like diabetes.
• Circadian rhythm is the body's natural 24-hour internal clock that regulates sleep/wake cycles.
• Teenagers naturally fall asleep later at night and wake up later due to biological shifts in their circadian rhythm.
• The body heals damaged tissues mainly during sleep.

Sleep Disorders

• Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep, often caused by stress or physical issues.
• Sleep apnea causes temporary pauses in breathing followed by sudden restarts during sleep.
• Narcolepsy involves extreme/uncontrollable sleepiness or sudden sleep attacks during daytime activities.
• Using eye drops is not a way to protect your eyes.
• Benefits of sleep include learning, memory storage, disease prevention, and a proper immune system.
• The light path: light hits rods/cones, optic nerves transmit signals, and the brain processes the information.
• The brain flips the reversed image and combines inputs from both eyes.

Alcohol Education

• A drug is a chemical that changes behavior/body function.
• Alcohol is classified as a depressant that slows brain/body reactions.
• Fermentation produces alcohol as yeast microorganisms feed on sugars in grains/fruits, converting them to alcohol.
• A zero-tolerance policy means immediate strict consequences for any alcohol/drug possession, even first-time offenses.
• Depressants slow brain and body reactions.
• Intoxication impairs coordination.
• Intoxication slows brain activity.

Alcohol's Effects

• Alcohol's effects on the nervous system: slows reflexes, dulls perception.
• Alcohol's effects on the cardiovascular system: raises heart rate/blood pressure, lowers core temperature.
• Alcohol's effects on the excretory system: increases urine production, leading to dehydration risk.
• Alcohol's effects on the digestive system: may induce vomiting.
• Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the % alcohol in blood.
• Factors influencing BAC: body size, consumption speed, gender, stomach food content.
• Life-threatening risks of intoxication: drunk-driving accidents, alcohol poisoning (overdose), and dangerous drug interactions.
• Alcohol causes dehydration by suppressing antidiuretic hormone (ADH), causing kidneys to produce excess urine.

Alcohol's Effects - Key Vocabulary

• Intoxication is a state where alcohol/substances impair mental and physical abilities, slowing reflexes, dulling judgment, and reducing coordination.
• A blackout is a period of alcohol-induced memory loss.
• A hangover is the aftereffects of excessive drinking (headache, nausea, fatigue).
• An overdose can result in a coma or death.
• A legal consequence of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) for drivers over 21: arrest for driving with BAC ≥ 0.08%.
• Binge drinking: consuming excessive alcohol in one session (e.g., 4+ drinks for women, 5+ for men in 2 hours).
• Overdose: taking a dangerous amount of a drug, potentially fatal.
• A blackout does not mean someone was unconscious; the person may function but won't recall events later.
• The consumer's race doesn't affect BAC.
• You can overdose on alcohol; alcohol poisoning can be fatal.
• Drinking alcohol impacts cardiovascular and excretory systems and the nervous system.
• Alcohol is a depressant because it slows body functions (CNS, reflexes, breathing).
• Negative impacts of underage drinking: long-term brain damage, injury/death in motor accidents, school/sports suspension.
• Alcohol's depressant effect slows reaction time, impairs coordination/judgment, and dulls perception, leading to higher crash risk.

Long-Term Alcohol Risks

• Long-term effects of alcohol abuse: brain damage (e.g., memory loss), heart disease (e.g., high blood pressure), liver damage (e.g., cirrhosis), digestive system problems (e.g., ulcers), and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (in pregnancy).
• Alcoholism: a disease where a person loses control over alcohol use, despite negative consequences.
• Stages of alcoholism: peers or social occasions, increased tolerance.
• Recovery steps: Acknowledging the problem, Detoxification, Rehabilitation.
• Stage 2 (Absolute Dependence) is dangerous because loss of control over drinking leads to compulsive use, risking health/job/relationships.
• Tolerance refers to reduced effects over time, leading to a need for more alcohol for the same impact.
• Dependence: the brain chemically requires alcohol to function normally.
• Reverse tolerance: occurs after liver damage, resulting in very small amounts causing intoxication due to impaired metabolism.
• Detoxification removes alcohol from the body.
• Withdrawal includes symptoms when stopping alcohol such as shaking and nausea.
• Rehabilitation is the process of learning to live alcohol-free.
• Withdrawal symptoms indicate the body is detoxifying, but can be dangerous without medical supervision.
• Rehabilitation is critical after detox, as it teaches coping skills to prevent relapse.

Avoiding Alcohol

• Refusal skills include techniques to confidently say no, such as "No thanks, I don't drink," or "I'm staying in control tonight."
• Key benefits of avoiding alcohol-related situations: maintaining an alcohol-free lifestyle and reducing risks such as accidents and peer pressure.
• Healthy drink alternatives to alcohol: water or juice/soda, which keep you hydrated and avoid alcohol-related consequences.
• Respond to pressure to drink with: "I'm good with my soda—I've got plans later!" or "Not my thing, but you do you."
• "Fitness" is not a stage of recovery. The stages are: acknowledging the problem, detoxification, and rehabilitation.
• Long-term effects of alcohol abuse: liver damage, heart disease, fetal alcohol syndrome, brain damage, and digestive problems.
• Ways to keep friends safe at a party with alcohol: avoid alcohol areas, have a designated driver, and provide peer support.
• Acknowledging the problem is critical in recovery, because without admitting addiction, a person won't seek help or commit to detox/rehab.
• Binge drinking is consuming excessive alcohol in one sitting.
• The cochlea is the fluid-filled tube in the inner ear for hearing.
• BAC is the percentage of alcohol in the blood.
