Topic 5.1
Digestion
The body needs raw materials to grow and repair itself. These raw materials don’t come ready to use!
They are taken in in the form of complex organic molecules (food). These complex molecules need to be
broken down into their simplest forms, useful components absorbed, and what is not used needs to be
eliminated.

materials excreted.

Excretion
There are many chemicals carried by the circulatory system. Some are waste materials and some are
vital to the proper functioning of the body. The kidney is the organ responsible for dealing with
these soluble materials. It eliminates soluble wastes and plays and important homeostatic role in
keeping other materials in the blood within certain limits.
Topic Learning Outcomes

Topic 5.3
The Nervous System and the Senses
An organism would be unable to survive if it could not effectively interact with its environment.
Finding food and avoiding danger are just two such interactions. In order to do this an organism
needs to be able to sense its environment, and then process that information so as to be able to
react appropriately. This topic will look at how the nervous system and senses perform this job.
Topic Learning Outcomes
a. Explain how sensory receptors are classified.
b. Explain how sensation occurs.
c. Explain the senses of taste, smell, vision, hearing, and equilibrium with respect to thetype of
sensory receptor involved, the organ involved, and the type of stimulus detected.
d. Describe the types of sensory receptors in skin.
e. Label a diagram of a neuron and distinguish among sensory neurons, motor neurons, and
interneurons.
f. Describe the role of myelin.

Topic 5.4
The Endocrine System
Just as a town needs a communication system, so does the body. The nervous system is one way
that the various parts of the body communicate, but it involves direct connections. A second, more
diffuse system exists – the endocrine system. Communications are accomplished by chemical
messengers (hormones), distributed throughout the body by the circulatory system. You will see
that this system is ideally suited to the functions that it performs.
