What fluid moves through blood vessels in your body?

Blood 

100

What gas does your body need to breathe in to survive?

Oxygen


100

What is the smallest level of organization in the body, the smalles unit of life?

Cell

100

Which two systems work together to move oxygen around the body?

Respiratory and Circulatory System
200

Where are most of the nutrients absorbed?

Small Intestine

200

What organ pumps blood through the body?

The heart.


200

What organ carries air from your nose/mouth to your lungs


Trachea

200

What do you call a group of cells that share the same function and work together to perform it?

Tissue

200

Which two systems work together to get nutrients into the blood?

Digestive and circulatory system

300

Which organ breaks down food using acids?

Stomach

300

Which blood vessel carries blood at a very high pressure from the heart towards the rest of the body?

a) Veins

b) Arteries

c) Capillaries

b) Arteries

300

What happens to the diaphragm when you inhale


It contracts, giving the lungs more space to fill with air.

300

What do we call a structure made of tissues that work towards the same function?

Organ 

300

How do the lungs and heart work together?

The lungs send oxygen to the blood, and the heart pumps it through the body.

400

True or False: The liver is in charge of breaking down food with acids. 


FALSE: Food is broken down in the stomach, the liver helps by releasing enzymes that help break down food.


400

What organs make up the circulatory system? (hint: the answer considers 4)

Heart

Arteries

Veins

Blood

(extra) Capillaries 

400

What process is being shown in this image?



Gas exchange between the alveoli and bloodstream in the lungs (alveoli).

Oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide is released. 

400

What are the 5 levels of organization starting from smallest to greates unit of life?

Cell - Tissue - Organ - Organ System - Organism


400

Why can a problem in one body system affect other systems?

Because body systems depend on each other to function. 

Systems are INTERDEPENDENT (+50 points for using that word).

500

A child is not absorbing enough nutrients from food. Their body has low energy, and they get tired easily.

What systems are being affected? 

The Digestive and Circulatory System.

500

What is the main function of the circulatory system? 


To transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body. 

500

What is the function of the repsiratory system?

Its main function is to bring oxygen into the lungs, where it enters the blood and is transported to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide from the body as a waste gas.

500

How are all levels of organization connected?

One levels makes up the other. 

They all depend on eachother, a problem in one will eventually affect all levels.



500

When your body needs energy (for example, running or playing sports), how do the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems work together?

The digestive system breaks down food to provide nutrients. The respiratory system breathes in oxygen.

Both oxygen and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream, where the circulatory system carries them elements where they are needed (if you are running for example, its will provide more towards your inferior muscles).
