vascular system
What is the primary function of the vascular system
To enrich your blood with oxygen and pump your blood throughout your body
What is the primary function of the muscular system
The primary function of the muscular system is to expand in contract the muscles in order to move the body
What shape is an animal cell
Animal cells typically have an irregular or round shape
What is the largest organ involved in the respiratory system
The lungs
Where does the digestive process take place
Throughout the Gastrointestinal track
The primary function of the blood vascular system is to transport blood, oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body, while also removing waste products like carbon dioxide
What are the three main types of muscular tissue
The 3 types of muscle tissue are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal
What shape is an plant cell
Plant cells typically have a rectangular or box-like shape
What connects the lungs to the nose/mouth
The trachea
How does food move through the digestive system
Food moves through the digestive system via peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions that propel food through the digestive tract
What are the names for the 3 main blood cancers
The 3 main blood cancers are
Leukaemia, Lymphoma, and myeloma
How do muscles attach to bones
Muscles attach to bones via strong, flexible connective tissue called tendons
What is the difference between plant and animal cells
the differences between cells can be explained as the presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts in plant cells, and the presence of centrioles and lysosomes in animal cells
What is the respiratory disease that is often associated with smoking
Lung cancer
What does the liver do to aid the stomach in digestion
The liver aids the stomach in digestion primarily by producing and secreting bile, which emulsifies fats, facilitating their absorption and digestion in the small intestine.
What are the three main blood vessels

What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles contractions

Where in the digestive system are most fluids absorbed
The small intestines
What are the components of blood
plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
What is the function of the cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle, also known as myocardium, is responsible for the heart's rhythmic contractions, which pump blood throughout the body, ensuring proper oxygenation and nutrient delivery to all tissues
What is the mitochondria
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
What is the name of the respiratory disease caused by very fine volcanic ash
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
What does the appendix do
beside rupturing/exploding
recent research suggests the appendix plays a role in the immune system and may act as a "safe house" for beneficial gut bacteria, potentially aiding in gut microbiome restoration and immune function.
