    Study Notes

    Circulatory System

    • Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissues
    • Oxygenated blood is carried away from the heart to various body tissues through arteries
    • The force exerted by blood against the walls of arteries is called blood pressure
    • Capillaries facilitate the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues
    • The heart consists of four chambers: left and right atria, and left and right ventricles
    • The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide primarily occurs in the lungs

    Digestive System

    • The stomach is responsible for acid and enzyme secretion for protein digestion
    • The small intestine is lined with epithelial tissue, which facilitates nutrient absorption
    • The pancreas produces digestive enzymes (lipase, protease, amylase) and releases them into the small intestine to aid in digestion

    Endocrine System

    • The parathyroid gland regulates calcium levels in the blood
    • The adrenal gland produces hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, involved in stress response
    • The pituitary gland is often referred to as the 'master gland' and controls other endocrine glands throughout the body
    • Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland, regulating sleep-wake cycles

    Immune System

    • Leukocytes (white blood cells) are produced in the bone marrow and contribute to the body's immune response
    • Leukocytes aid in the body's defense against infection and disease
    • The lymphatic system is responsible for the removal of pathogens and toxins from the body

    Integumentary System

    • The epidermis serves as a protective barrier against pathogens, UV radiation, and physical damage
    • The skin provides immediate defense against infection and disease

    Nervous System

    • The optic nerve is responsible for the sense of sight
    • The olfactory nerve is responsible for the sense of smell
    • The auditory nerve is responsible for the sense of hearing
    • The taste buds on the tongue detected by the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves are responsible for the sense of taste

    Muscular System

    • Skeletal muscle fibers have a characteristic striated appearance at the microscopic level
    • Aerobic metabolism occurs in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic metabolism occurs in its absence

    Reproductive System

    • The primary function of the reproductive system is to produce sex cells and support the development of a fetus during pregnancy
    • Testosterone is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics and sperm production
    • Estrogen and progesterone are produced by the ovaries in females

    Respiratory System

    • The primary function of the respiratory system is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
    • The trachea, bronchi, and lungs are structures involved in the respiratory system
    • The diaphragm and intercostal muscles facilitate breathing
