This text discusses cell structure and function. Some key points: • Cells are the basic unit of life and consist of a nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane. The nucleus contains DNA which controls cell activity. The cytoplasm contains organelles that perform specific functions. • The plasma membrane regulates what enters and leaves the cell. Molecules can move across the membrane through passive diffusion, osmosis, or active carrier-mediated transport using protein channels and carri...

This text discusses the skeletal system including its functions, structure, types of bones, and joints. Some key points: The skeletal system provides support, protects organs, allows movement, stores minerals, and produces blood cells. The extracellular matrix of bone consists of collagen, proteoglycans, minerals and water. There are four categories of bone: long, short, flat, and irregular. Long bones have a shaft, ends, and growth plates. Bone tissue consists of osteoblasts, osteocytes,...

Chapter key points: Muscle fibers are organized into fasciculi, and fasciculi are organized into muscles by associated connective tissue. Each skeletal muscle fiber is a single cell containing numerous myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin myofilaments. Sarcomeres are joined end-to-end to form myofibrils. Cell membranes have a negative charge on the inside relative to a positive charge outside. This is called the resting membrane potential. Action potentials a...

The text discusses the integumentary system, which consists of the skin, hair, glands, and nails. The skin performs several important functions, including protection, sensation, vitamin D production, temperature regulation, and excretion. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin and consists of stratified squamous epithelium divided into strata. The dermis is made of dense connective tissue and contains blood vessels, nerves, and skin appendages. Melanocytes in the dermis produce melanin that de...

This document provides an overview of the senses, particularly the special senses of sight and hearing. It explains the concepts of sense, sensation, and perception, and how perception is primarily a function of the cerebral cortex. The document then goes on to discuss the different types of sensory receptors, such as mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors. The anatomy of the eye is described in detail, including the three layers that make up the ey...
