Human Body Systems 1
The body system that is responsible for breaking down your food into nutrients. Which body system works with this body system to transport those nutrients?
The digestive system
The circulatory system
The body system responsible for removing toxins and excess liquid from the body.
The excretory system
The body system responsible for bringing in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
The respiratory system
The body system that coordinates the body's actions and transmits electrical signals to and from different parts of the body.
The nervous system
The body systems that allow us to move.
The muscular system and skeletal system
The process by which an organism's internal environment is kept stable (or balanced) in spite of changes in the external environment.
Homeostasis
The body system responsible for supplying oxygen to the muscles?
Circulatory System
Which part of the brain is responsible for controlling involuntary activities such as breathing and circulating blood?
The brain stem
Which part of the brain is responsible for coordinating movement and balance?
The cerebellum
Which body system allows us to feel things and allows us to react to different situations?
Nervous System
What are the 5 functions of the skeletal system?
1. Protection
2. Support and Structure
3. Make red blood cells
4. Storage of minerals (iron and calcium)
5. Movement
The process of physically breaking down food into smaller pieces (chewing) is known as what?
mechanical digestion or physical digestion
In which organs does digestion primarily take place?
Small Intestine and Stomach
Which body system sends chemical signals throughout the bloodstream in the body through cells?
Endocrine System
What is the hollow tube that connects the throat to the stomach? What type of muscle is this tube made of?
Esophagus and Smooth
In what organ does the continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place? Which body system is this organ a part of?
Lung
Respiratory
True or false: Veins are blood vessels that deliver oxygenated blood to the body.
False: arteries
True or false: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.
True
True or false: Ureters in the excretory system filter blood and produce urine.
False: kidneys
The stomach is the organ in the digestive system where what type of digestion takes place?
Physical (mechanical) Digestion -churning of food
Chemical Digestion- hydrochloric acid
What are the 2 main functions of the circulatory system?
1. Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells
2. Removes carbon dioxide from cells
What is the main functions of the respiratory system?
1. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the cells of the body
What are the 2 main functions of the digestive system?
1. Digest food into usable nutrients
2. Absorb nutrients into the blood stream
What are the 2 main functions of the excretory system?
1. Eliminate the waste products by creating and excreting urine
2. Remove toxins from the body
Give 3 functions of the integumentary system.
1. Protective Barrier
2. Regulates temperature (homeostasis)
3. Eliminates Waste (sweat)
