1. Digestive System
$100: What is the main organ for digestion?
- The stomach is the primary organ for digestion
$100: What is the main function of the lungs?
- To take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the body
$100: What is the primary function of the heart?
- To pump blood throughout the body
$100: What are the two main types of muscles?
- Voluntary (skeletal) muscles and Involuntary (smooth) muscles
$100: How do the digestive and circulatory systems work together?
- The circulatory system transports nutrients absorbed by the digestive system to all body cells
$200: What is the function of the stomach?
To break down food using stomach acids and begin the process of chemical digestion
$200: What is the role of the diaphragm in breathing?
- To help muscles contract and expand, allowing air to move in and out of the lungs
$200: What are the three main types of blood vessels?
- Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries
$200: How do bones and muscles work together?
- Muscles attach to bones via tendons, allowing movement when muscles contract and relax
$200: What role does the respiratory system play in the circulatory system?
- Provides oxygen to blood, which is then circulated throughout the body
$300: Name the process that breaks down food into nutrients
- Digestion (specifically mechanical and chemical digestion)
$300: Name the pathway air takes when you inhale
- Nose/Mouth → Trachea → Bronchi → Lungs
$300: How does blood travel through the body?
- Through a continuous circuit powered by the heart, moving from the heart to organs and back again
$300: Name one function of the skeletal system
- Provides structure, protection for organs, and enables movement
$300: How do muscles and bones interact for movement?
- Muscles pull on bones at joints, causing movement through contraction and relaxation
$400: What role do enzymes play in digestion?
- Enzymes help break down complex food molecules into simpler nutrients that the body can absorb
$400: What gas do we breathe in and out?
- Breathe in: Oxygen
- Breathe out: Carbon dioxide
$400: What is the role of red blood cells?
- To carry oxygen to body tissues and carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs
$400: What is the role of tendons and ligaments?
- Tendons connect muscles to bones
- Ligaments connect bones to other bones
$400: Why is oxygen important for the digestive system?
- Oxygen helps cells in the digestive system produce energy to break down food
$500: What is the difference between the small and large intestine?
- Small intestine: Absorbs most nutrients from food
- Large intestine: Absorbs water and processes waste before elimination
$500: How does the respiratory system help in gas exchange?
- Oxygen moves from air in the lungs into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled
$500: What is the importance of the circulatory system in nutrient distribution?
- To transport nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to all parts of the body
$500: How does the musculoskeletal system support movement?
- By providing a framework of bones, joints, and muscles that work together to enable motion
$500: How do all four systems cooperate to maintain homeostasis?
- Each system supports the others, working together to keep the body functioning properly, balanced, and healthy
