Tissues, Organs and Organ Systems
Pumps blood throughout the body
What is the function of the heart
The main organ of the respiratory system
What are the lungs
When the chambers of the heart relax, they fill up with blood. What happens when the chambers squeeze, or contract?
Blood is forced out, and pumped through tubes called blood vessels to all parts of the body.
Arteries branch off into tiny blood vessels called
What are capillaries
This system is made up of 206 bones that support your body and give it shape, also protecting your internal organs
What is the skeletal system
Body parts that perform specific functions
What are organs
A muscle located below the lungs, causes air to flow in and out of your lungs
What is the diaphragm
Tubes that carry blood throughout every part of the body
What are blood vessels
To deliver blood to all the body's cells
Organs that contract, or shorten, and relax, or lengthen, to move bones
What are muscles
Made up of a group of organs that do a particular job
What is an organ system
Air enters your body through the nose or the mouth. It flows through the throat into a hard tube called (otherwise known as the windpipe)
What is the trachea
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
What are arteries
Oxygen-poor blood and wastes move out of cells into the capillaries, and then back through the
what are veins
What are the three types of muscles that make up the muscular system?
smooth muscle
skeletal muscle
cardiac muscle
Groups of cells of the same kind that have a specific function
What are tissues
What is the function of the respiratory system?
The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air and delivers it to all the body cells. It also gets rid of gaseous waste produced by body cells.
Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
What are veins
Arteries move what kind of blood through the capillaries?
What is oxygen-rich blood
Give an example of:
-Smooth muscle
-Cardiac Muscle
-Skeletal Muscle
What are:
-Body organs- stomach, small/large intestine etc..
-Heart
-attach to your bones by tendons/only pull bones, do not push.
What is muscle tissue
Inside the lungs, tubes branch out into smaller tubes until they form tiny sacs. Inside the sacs, What is added to the blood? and What is removed from the blood?
What are
Oxygen
Wastes
How does blood flow through the body?
Blood is pumped by the heart though the arteries to all the cells of the body. Veins return the blood from cells to the heart.
How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together? What happens to the cells gaseous wastes?
The respiratory system takes in oxygen and passes it to the circulatory system.
The circulatory system delivers it to all parts of the body.
The circulatory system also picks up wastes from cells and carries them to the lungs where they are breathed out.
Largest organ, covers and protects internal organs, and your body from disease-causing germs.
