What is the main role of the Circulatory System?
What is the main role of the Circulatory System?
- To transport nutrients and oxygen to all organs and body systems (correct)
- To provide oxygen into the body and excrete carbon dioxide out
- To break down necessary nutrients from consumed foods and liquids
- To remove leftover waste from previously broken down consumables
Define Metabolism.
Define Metabolism.
The process of converting consumed nutrients into energy, building up cells and tissues.

Study Notes
Topic 1: Introduction to Body Systems
Body Systems Table
- Respiratory system: provides oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, involves lungs, oesophagus, and mouth
- Digestive system: breaks down nutrients from food and liquids, involves liver, stomach, large and small intestine
- Circulatory system: transports nutrients and oxygen, involves heart, blood vessels
- Excretory system: removes waste, involves kidneys, bladder, urethra
- Skeletal system: provides structure, protects vital organs, involves skull, ribs, pelvis, sternum
- Muscular system: enables movement, involves abdomen, biceps, glutes, chest
Order of Complexity in Organisms
- Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ Systems → Organism
Topic 2: Coordinated Function of Body Systems
Muscular and Skeletal Systems
- Muscular system provides movement and strength, protects bones
- Skeletal system gives structure to muscles, enables movement
Excretory System
- Removes waste after digestive system breaks down nutrients
- Involves kidneys, bladder, urethra, and muscular system
Metabolism
- Definition: process of converting nutrients into energy, building cells and tissues
- Cellular respiration: metabolic process converting glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water
- Word equation: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
- Body systems involved: circulatory, respiratory
- TEEL paragraph example: Body systems work together to produce energy, e.g., muscular, skeletal, digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems
Topic 3: Peripheral Nervous System
PNS
- Definition: part of nervous system outside brain and spinal cord
- Components: nerves, ganglia
- Main role: connects CNS to limbs and organs
Message Transmission
- Electrical signals: via neurons
- Chemical signals: via neurotransmitters
Neurons
- Definition: cells that transmit nerve impulses
- Types: sensory, motor, interneurons
- Neural pathway: sensory receptor → sensory neuron → CNS → motor neuron → effector
- Structure functions: dendrites receive signals, cell body processes signals, axon transmits signals, synapse releases neurotransmitters
Stages of Nerve Impulse
- Resting potential: neuron at rest
- Depolarization: sodium ions enter neuron
- Repolarization: potassium ions exit neuron
- Refractory period: neuron returns to resting state
Reflexes
- Definition: automatic responses to stimuli
- Example: withdrawing hand from hot object
- Reflex arc: sensory neuron → interneuron → motor neuron
- Difference in pathways: reflexes bypass brain for quicker response
- Importance: protects body from harm
