SYSTEMS

Circulatory system

Circulatory System:

Circulatory System and Pathway of Blood Through the Heart - YouTube

Pathway of Blood:

1. superior vena cava or inferior vena cava
2. right atrium
3. tricuspid valve
4. right ventricle
5. pulmonary valve- (semilunar valve)
6. pulmonary artery (goes to lungs)
7. pulmonary vein
8. left atrium
9. bicuspid valve (left AV valve)
10. left ventricle
11. aortic valve (semilunar valve)
12. aorta

Blood pressure:

Diastolic Pressure (heart relaxes)

Systolic Pressure (heart contracts)

Types of blood vessels:

Capillaries: -connect arteries/arterioles to vein/venules -provides oxygen & nutrients to the cell

**The smallest vessel**

Veins: -carries blood towards the heart - usually deoxygenated

**Exception pulmonary vein**

Arteries: -carries blood away from the heart -usually oxygenated

**Exception pulmonary artery**

-Vasodilation -Vasoconstriction

Composition of blood:

Platelets: -control blood clotting process

White blood cells: -Attack bacteria & other invaders

Red blood cells: -carry oxygen -contain hemoglobin

Blood plasma: -antibodies/proteins -nutrients/wastes

Main function:

Carries wastes from cells

Transports essential nutrients to the cells

Transports carbon dioxide from cells to the lung

Transports oxygen to the cells from the lung

Respiratory System

Respiratory System:

Respiratory System - YouTube

Structure of the lungs:

A breathing system for bringing-rich air to the respiratory membrane

**Mechanism of ventilation** ----> Exhalation & Inhalation

Vital capacity

Residual volume

Expiratory reserve volume

Inspiratory reserve volume

Total lung capacity

Tidal volume

A good supply of blood

A large surface area for gas exchange

**Gas exchange happens in the alveoli**

Thin permeable respiratory membrane through which diffusion can occur

**Pneumothorax causes the lungs to collapse** ----->Difficulty breathing

Digestion in the body

Digestive system:

Digestive System - YouTube

Ingestion takes you to:

Egestion: -Anus is where the stool is released

Absorption: -Small intestine is where most digestion happens (villi found) -Large intestine is where the undigested particles are found

Digestion: -Physical and chemical (amylase) -Bolus forms and goes down the esophagus (peristalsis) -Stomach churns and mixes food particles with gastric juice(mucus found in gastric juice for protection) -Liver produces bile, but gallbladder stores it (pancreas releases hormones and enzymes that'll help the breakdown of proteins)

Nutrients:

The 6 Nutrients:

How The Six Basic Nutrients Affect Your Body - YouTube

Main source of energy

Metabolic rate depends on:

Add class name.

-Body size -Sex -Physical Activity -Age -Hereditary factors

Add additional information about this class.

"Cells" divide for growth, development, repair and the formation of gametes.

GENETICS:

DNA, Chromosomes, Genes, and Traits: An Intro to Heredity - YouTube

Add key information about the books you've read. If you feel it's necessary, you can add a small summary of your readings in the Notes section.

GENETICS

DNA molecule: -Double helix -Twisted ladder

-Thymine(T) & Adenine(A) are complementary bases. -Guanine(G) & Cytosine(C) are complementary bases.

Pedigree charts are used to study the transmission of a hereditary condition.

-Affected female (colored circle) -Affected male (colored square)

Sex linkage is the passing of traits found on the X chromosome. **Y chromosome carries no information**

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked trait.

Type O blood is the universal donor.

Type AB blood is the universal recipient

Incomplete dominance is a blending of traits.

Codominance occurs when both alleles are fully expressed.

Dihybrid crosses are crosses between individuals who differ in two pairs of alleles (usually 9:3:3:1)

A monohybrid punnet square codes for one trait.

Dominant alleles may prevent the expression of recessive alleles.

-Homozygous dominant: TT -Homozygous recessive: tt -Heterozygous: Tt

-Female-sex chromosomes are homologous (XX) -Male-sex chromosomes are non-homologous (XY)

Karyotypes are used to view abnormalities (stain, viewed & photographs under a microscope)

Abnormalities could either be monosomy or trisomy non-disjunction.

In meiosis- produce four genetically different, haploid(n) reproductive cells.

Meiosis:

Meiosis (Updated) - YouTube

Two cell divisions; eight steps; reduce # of chromosomes by half; in testes-spermatogenesis/ in ovaries-oogenesis

Anaphase I, sister chromatids do NOT separate.

Metaphase I, homologous pairs line up at the metaphase plate.

Meiosis I, involves synapsis, crossing over, formation of tetrads

Asexual reproduction=identical offspring from single parent (mitosis) Sexual reproduction=genetically variable offspring (meiosis)

Mitosis has 3 phases: 1)Interphase 2)Mitosis 3)Cytokinesis

Cloning is the process of forming identical offspring from a single cell or tissue.

Add details about where you can get it from. For e.g.: library, bookstore, audiobook, etc.

Asexual reproduction: binary fission, budding, fragmentation

Genetic information is stored in DNA molecules within the chromosome cells.

-Somatic cells are any cell in the body except sperm & egg cells. - 46 chromosomes -----> 2 sets of 23 chromosomes (diploid)

Add summary of the content of a book

-Sex cells are the egg & sperm cells. -23 chromosomes -----> 1 set of 23 chromosomes (haploid)
