This chemical is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder.
What is bile?
100
This is the process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of reactions inside cells.
What is respiration?

Name the three types of blood vessels.
What are the veins, arteries, and capillaries?

Define Homeostasis. Double Jeopardy!!
The process by which an organism's internal environment is kept stable despite changes in the external environment.
100
This organ is responsible for contracting and applying the force the circulates blood around the body.
What is the heart?
200
This structure is a flap of tissue that covers up the windpipe whenever food or drink passes.
What is the epiglottis?
200
These are tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the movement of gases between air and blood.
What are the alveoli?
200
This structure separates the right and left sides of the heart and prevents oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing.
What is the septum?
200
Give an example of how your blood vessels can be out of homeostasis if you eat a primarily high fat, high carb diet. Explain why this would be a problem.
Your arteries can get clogged by all of the unnecessary additional nutrients (fats and carbohydrates) that this diet provides. If your arteries are clogged oxygen and nutrients are not going to circulate as quickly as they need to.
200
Air moves from the trachea into these structures that direct air into the lungs.
What are the bronchi?
300
This is another name for the muscle contractions in the digestive system. They help to "squeeze and push" the food along.
What is peristalsis?
300
This large, dome-shaped muscle that plays an important role in breathing. By contracting and relaxing it controls the movement of breath in and out of the lungs.
What is the diaphragm?
300
These structures located in both the heart and the veins of the legs help to keep blood flowing in the correct direction. Without these the heart would have to do twice as much work to complete the same task.
What are valves?
300
Give an example of how your respiratory system can be out of homeostasis if you are frequently exposed to cigarette smoke or pollutants.
The cilia in your lungs will become damaged which can cause mucus to build up. It can also cause your airways to become constricted so you won't be able to breathe. It can also lead to problems such as asthma. All of these issues will cause breathing to become more difficult which can lead to decreased blood circulation.
300
The stomach is lined with this substance that prevents the stomach from digesting itself.
What is mucus?
400
These are the three functions of the digestive system.
What is digest food into nutrients, absorb necessary nutrients from food, and eliminate wastes?
400
Identify the path of air flow as it moves oxygen into the lungs.
Nose-Trachea-Bronchi-Lungs-Alveoli
400
This is an iron contain protein in your red blood cells that binds to oxygen.
What is hemoglobin?
400
Give an example of how your heart can be out of homeostasis if you don't exercise frequently.
Your heart muscle needs exercise to stay efficient and healthy. Without frequent exercise stress or a burst of adrenaline could cause your heartbeat to increase to an unhealthy level. This can cause you to be unable to catch your breath, feel dizzy, or like you're having a panic attack. It can also result in high blood pressure.
400
These tiny fingerlike structures line the digestive tract in the small intestine and aid in nutrient absorption. Due to their large surface area they can greatly increase the amount of nutrients absorbed.
What are villi?
500
Give one example of mechanical digestion and explain where it occurs. Give an example of chemical digestion and explain where it occurs. Double Jeopardy!
Answers will vary.
500
These are the three substances exchanged in the alveoli. Explain how this exchange occurs.
What is oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. Oxygen is taken in by inhaling, carbon dioxide and water are removed as waste by exhaling.
500
Name the four main components of blood and state their function.
Platelets- aid in blood clotting Red Blood Cells - bind to oxygen and transport it throughout the body Plasma - the liquid part of blood, materials of the blood travel in this White Blood Cells - Disease fighting cells that perform many functions designed to get rid of disease causing organisms
500
Explain how your digestive system can be out of homeostasis if you have celiac disease. *Hint - When people with celiac disease eat gluten, their body mounts an immune response that attacks the small intestine. These attacks lead to damage on the villi that line the small intestine.
If the villi are damaged then the patient will not be able to get nutrients from the food that they eat. If they are unable to access the nutrients in the food they eat the cells around their body will not get the necessary nutrients. This could result in long term effects on the organs and tissues of the body.

This organ aids in digestion by producing enzymes that break down starches, protein, and fat.
What is the pancreas?
