1. Where two or more bones meet together.
2. Cords of connective tissues that attach muscles to bones (you can feel one on the inside of your elbow).
1. Joints
2. Tendons
After we breathe in oxygen to our lungs, where does the oxygen go before it is sent to all parts of the body?
Oxygen is sent to the heart then it is transported to all parts of the body through the blood stream.
Which two systems does the cardiovascular system work with to send oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body?
The respiratory system and the digestive system
What organ is the control center (command center) for the body?
The Brain
Which body system works with the digestive system to help transport nutrients all throughout the body?
Circulatory System
What are the three main types of muscles found in the body?
Smooth Muscles - digestive system, respiratory system (involuntary)
Cardiac Muscles - heart muscles that help pump blood (involuntary)
Skeletal Muscles - Help move bones (voluntary)
What is the main function of the respiratory system? What does it give to the body and what does it get rid of?
Breathing. Gives the body oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide (waste)
How many chamber or rooms are in the human heart? What are the names of the chambers/rooms
1. Left Atrium
2. Left Ventricle
3. Right Atrium
4. Right Ventricle
What part of the nervous system helps sends signals to and from the brain? (Also known as the highway of the nervous system)
The Spinal Cord
What is inside your stomach that helps to break down food and separates the nutrients inside of food?
Stomach Acid
How do muscles move bones? Think about how the bicep and tricep help move the arm.
Muscles work in pairs and pull on bones. One muscle Contracts (or squeezes) and the other one relaxes.
To bend the arm the bicep contracts and the triceps relaxes. The opposite happens to straighten the arm.
What are the four main parts of the respiratory system?
Nose, Trachea, Lungs, and the diaphragm
What is the main function (or job) of the cardiovascular system?
To send oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body through the bloodstream. Also, it helps the body to get rid of waste (carbon dioxide)
How do messages get to and from the brain to all parts of the body
The Nerves
Which part of the digestive system absorbs nutrients from food?
The small intestines
List four out of the five main functions (jobs) of the skeletal system
1. Support
2. Shape
3. Movement
4. Protects vital organs
What causes the lungs to take in oxygen and push out carbon dioxide (C02). What organ helps the lungs to operate?
The diaphragm. When the diaphragm contracts you breathe in and when it relaxes you breathe out.
What are the three main parts of the cardiovascular system?
The heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood
What body system does the nervous system control?
All of them
Skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive
What are the 5 main parts of the digestive system?
Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, and Large Intestine.
What are the two main functions of the muscular system?
Movement and strength
Which system does the respiratory work with to transport oxygen to all parts of the body?
The Circulatory system. The oxygen travels through the blood stream.
1. Carries oxygen rich blood away from the heart to all parts of the body?
2. Carries oxygen poor blood from the body back to the heart?
1. Arteries
2. Veins
What are the three main parts of the nervous system?
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
What is the main purpose of the digestive system?
To turn food into energy for the body
