Nervous/Circulatory
The nervous system connects all tissues and organs to
your Brain
By breathing, your body gets this
Oxygen
There are over 600 muscles in the human body! The smallest muscle in the body is located here
Ear
The number of types of bones there are
4 types
Digestion begins here
the mouth
While arteries lead to small blood vessels called capillaries, this organ is the pump of the circulatory system
Heart
Located in your nose, this filters the air you inhale
Tiny hairs
In the Excretory System, these basic units of the kidney reabsorb useful stuff besides the waste
Nephrons
this is held together by connective tissue.
Tendons
The Digestive System breaks food down to produce this. Our body cells use this for energy, growth, repair and good health.
Nutrients
Your nervous system senses your environment and reacts to it. This type of action pulls your hand away if you touch something very hot.
Reflex action
In the Respiratory System, a group of organs and tissues exchange these two things between your body and the environment
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
The muscular system helps us to be strong. Name the three types of muscle tissue.
Cardiac, Skeletal and Smooth muscles
The purpose of the skeletal system is to do these two things
Protect organs and help us move around
In the small intestine, this helps pass nutrients into the blood stream
Villi
The central nervous system is made up of these two things
Brain and spinal cord
As warm clean air travels down your trachea (windpipe), the Trachea branches into two large tubes called bronchi which leads to your lungs. In the lungs, these bronchi branches into smaller tubes. At the end of these tubes are tiny sacs called this
Alveoli
In the kidneys, waste is removed from the blood through this
Capillaries
The skeletal muscles are made of these
Ligaments, Bones, Cartilage
The wavelike contraction of muscles in the organs of the digestive system as it helps food move through the system is called this
Peristalsis
The circulatory system transports these three things
oxygen, nutrients and waste
Gases exchange between the air in the alveoli and blood are located in this
Capillaries
Through the many steps of removal in the Excretory System, ammonia is in the blood and the liver converts the ammonia into urea. As the blood continues to travel to the kidneys, the kidneys filter urea and waste from the blood resulting in this
Urine
These are the four types of bones
Long, Short, flat and irregular bones
Name the 5 paths food takes through your body
Mouth, Esophogus, Stomach, Small Intestine and Pancreas & Gallbladder
