Circulatory System Respiratory System Integumentary and Nervous Systems Immune and Endocrine Systems Miscellaneous
What is the function of the circulatory system?
To transport materials (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, etc.) around the body
What blood vessels carry blood away from the heart?
arteries
What are three types of blood vessels?
Arteries, veins, capillaries
Name the four chambers of the heart.
Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
After the blood drops off oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide from body cells, where does it go next?
The heart (and then the lungs)
What is the function of the Respiratory System?
To take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide
Put these body parts in the order in which air travels through them when you inhale. Nose, bronchial tubes, alveoli, bronchi, trachea, throat
Nose, throat, trachea, bronchi, bronchial tubes, alveoli
How does the diaphragm work?
It contracts (pulls down) to expand the lungs and draw in air. It relaxes (moves up) to push air out of the lungs.
Describe the size of alveoli.
They are microscopic (their walls are only one cell thick.)
How does the respiratory system interact with the muscular system?
1. Muscles (such as the diaphragm and rib muscles) pull air into and push air out of the lungs. 2. Oxygen from the respiratory system is transported to muscle cells so they can produce energy. 3. The respiratory system gets rid of carbon dioxide, which is a waste produced by muscle (and other) cells.
What is the function of the nervous system?
It is the main control and communication system
What is the function of the integumentary system?
It provides a barrier to protect the body from the environment
What body systems are involved in reflex actions (knee jerk, blinking, etc.)?
The Nervous system and muscular/skeletal system
Which of these cells is a neuron? A. B. C. D.
C.
The central nervous system is made up of what two structures?
The brain and the spinal cord
What is the function of the immune system?
To defend the body from pathogens
What is the function of the Endocrine System?
To produce hormones that regulate various body functions
Your immune system identifies and attacks specific pathogens with these proteins.
antibodies
What body system is responsible for the rush of energy you need to run away from an attacking bear?
The Endocrine System (it produces adrenaline)
When skin gets damaged, the body releases histamine which causes what?
Inflammation (swelling, redness, and heat)
What is homeostasis?
The ability of your body to maintain internal conditions
What process do your cells do to make energy (and make carbon dioxide as a waste)?
Cellular respiration
What is your pulse?
The flow of blood through your arteries
When you feel a cold ice cube, what body systems are involved?
The integumentary system and the nervous system
What two body systems interact at the alveoli?
The circulatory and respiratory systems
