CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
A red blood cell is deoxygenated and is going outside the heart. What blood vessel is it in?
The deoxygenated red blood cell is in the pulmonary artery (or pulmonary trunk).
This organ stores bile from the liver.
The gallbladder.
What organ prevents food from entering the windpipe?
The epiglottis
What are the molecules that are involved and used in the respiratory system?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
What muscle helps your lungs move air in and out?
The diaphragm.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
This condition includes fainting, pale skin, weakness, shortness of breath, headache, and cold hands/feet. The resulting blood test shows an iron deficiency. What disorder do you suspect?
Anaemia
Name and describe two digestive system illnesses.
Tooth decay, Gastroenteritis, Appendicitis, Hepatitis, and Pancreatitis.
What is the digestive organ responsible for allowing most of the digested food particles to enter our bloodstream through thousands of tiny blood vessels?
The small intestine
What are the names of the two smaller pipes at the end of the trachea called?
The bronchi
Where does oxygen enter the blood and CO2 leave the blood?
Alveoli (air sacs)
What atrium receives the oxygenated blood that comes from the lungs?
The left atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood from the lungs.
Where does the chemical digestion of carbohydrates begin?
The chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth. Salivary glands initiate the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into smaller sugar units as food is chewed.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
This disease damages blood vessels and restricts blood flow, and causes nerve damage that slows digestion. Symptoms include high blood sugar, chronic inflammation, stiffening arteries, and poor wound healing.
What two systems does this affect?
Diabetes
The circulatory and digestive systems
Smoking may damage the respiratory system because deposits from the smoke can
It can paralyze or destroy the cilia lining the airways, preventing them from cleaning out mucus and trapped particles.
How do the lungs differ structurally?
The right lung has three lobes, while the left lung has two.
What are the molecules that can go through the circulatory system?
Glucose, amino acid, and oxygen molecules
Chewing and smooth muscle movement are forms of this type of digestion.
Mechanical digestion
What happens to water in the large intestine?
It absorbs remaining water from indigestible food matter via osmosis. This process transforms liquid waste into solid stool.
Name and describe two diseases of the respiratory system?
Influenza, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Lung cancer
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
What are the circulatory and respiratory systems?
These systems work together to get oxygen to your blood.
How do the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems work together?
The circulatory system transports what the respiratory (oxygen) and digestive systems (nutrients) bring into the body.
Where does the chemical digestion of proteins begin?
The chemical digestion of proteins begins in the stomach. The chemical breakdown of proteins is initiated by hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down food proteins into smaller polypeptide chains before moving into the small intestine.
What is the relationship between the circulatory and digestive systems?
The circulatory system absorbs nutrients from the small intestine into the bloodstream.
What is the correct sequence of the branching pattern of the human respiratory system?
Nostrils, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.
How is most oxygen transported in the blood?
By hemoglobin in red blood cells.
