2. What does it give to the body and what does it get rid of?

1. Breathing

Smooth Muscles - digestive system, respiratory system (involuntary)

Cardiac Muscles - heart muscles that help pump blood (involuntary)

Skeletal Muscles - Help move bones (voluntary)

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.

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

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).

3. Bands of connective tissue that holds bones together.

1. Joints

2. Tendons

3. Ligaments

400

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.

400

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

400

Which body system works with the digestive system to help transport nutrients all throughout the body?

Circulatory System

Red hair and blue eyes are examples of.....

inherited recessive traits

How do muscles move bones?  Think about how the biceps and triceps 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.

500

After we breathe in oxygen to our lungs, where does the oxygen go?

Oxygen is sent to the heart then it is transported to all parts of the body through the blood stream.

*Daily Double*

All of them

Skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive
