Define the levels of cellular organization (Smallest to largest)
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
2. Cell Types and Specialization:
a. Remember the steps a cell must undergo in order to specialize.
Stem Cells Determination and Differentiation
b. Review question: Describe what occurs during determination and differentiation.
c. Review question: How many types of cells can a human’s embryonic/zygote cells
develop into?
d. LIST as many cell types as you can.

3. Digestive System (Chapter 38)
a. Understand the functions of the digestive system and the order of the organs that food
passes through. Realize that chemical digestion involves the break-down of food with
chemicals and enzymes. Mechanical (physical) digestion involves the break-down of
food with the teeth, tongue, and stomach.
b. Review: Review Question: How does the digestive system help maintain homeostasis?
(homeostasis is the balance in our bodies)
c. Review Question: What other organs outside the digestive tract are involved with digestion,
and HOW?
d. Review Question: At what STAGE along the digestive tract are each of the THREE major
macromolecules we’ve studied digested?
MouthStomach –
Small Intestine –
Large Intestinee. Review Question: What do the following have to do with digestion or absorption?
Liver
Gall Bladder
Pancreas
Esophagus
Peristalsis
Chyme
Bolus
Villi
4. Excretory system (Chapter 39.3)
a. Understand that the excretory system removes wastes that may build up or harm our
bodies. It is a filtering system, consisting of various parts that carry out many functions.
b. Review question: what major organs belong to the excretory system?
c. Review question: What are the major functions of the kidneys?
d. Review question how do nephrons work to remove wastes (the filtrate) from your
bloodstream? Also, WHICH wastes are removed?

Topics for Circulatory and Respiratory Systems:
5. The Respiratory System
a. Be sure to know the pathway that air follows as a human breathes.
b. Review Question: Why must air be warmed, filtered and moistened in the nasal passages?
c. Review Question: How do the diaphragm and intercostal muslces control inhalation and
exhalation?
d. Review Question: How are gases are exchanged between the alveoli and blood
capillaries?
6. Circulatory System – The Heart and Circulation
a. Review question: How do the functions of the circulatory system help maintain
homeostasis?
b. Review question: Why must blood flow in pulmonary circulation, cardiac and systemic
circulation? (in other words, what is the purpose of each circuit?)
c. Review question: Be able to identify EACH part of the heart.
How will the blood flowing through the right and left side of the heart be different?
Why is there difference?
7. Circulatory System – Components of Blood
a. Review question: List the FOUR parts of blood and two characteristics of each.
8. Circulatory System – Blood Vessels
a. Blood Vessels serve as a transport system through which blood flows as the heart beats
like a pump. However, various blood vessels have specialized characteristics, and are
unique.
b. Review Question: How are arteries and veins different? Describe MANY ways!
c. Review Question: How do capillaries help supply your body with oxygen and nutrients
and remove wastes/carbon dioxide?
d. Review Question: During cellular respiration, your body uses nutrients (glucose mainly)
your blood supplies, as well as the oxygen. Why will your muscles become sore when
there isn’t an ample supply of oxygen for normal cellular respiration?
