Breathing.
Where does digestion start and what is happening to the food?
Starts at the mouth and food is being broken down by teeth and saliva.
What is the function of the Endocrine System?
Controls communication of different body parts through chemical signals.
How is the Nervous System connected to the Endocrine System?
Both send signals around the body.
What is the plasma of this system made up of?
Water, Salt, and Proteins.
What is the function of the Respiratory system?
Exchanges gases (O2 and Carbon Dioxide) between the body and its surroundings.
What is the function of the Digestion system?
Is to break down food and absorb nutrients into the blood system.
What is being produced in the Endocrine System?
Hormones.
What is a stimuli?
A thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue.
What does the Arteries do?
Carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart (largest).
Respiration Reaction is a chemical reaction. What does the Respiration Reaction do?
O2 is used to breakdown Glucose in order to create ATP.
What does Mechanical do?

What hormones are there in the Endocrine System?
Estrogen, Testosterone, and Progesterone are the main reproductive hormones.
What is the function of the Nervous System?
Is to sense and respond to stimuli inside and outside the body.
What does the Veins do?
Carry oxygen poor blood towards the heart.
What happens through the process of diffusion?
Gas exchange happens in the Glucose.
How does the Digestive System get ATP?
The Digestive system breaks down Glucose which is needed for Respiration.
What does the Hormones of the Endocrine System do?
The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development.
What is a Neuron and what is the function?
It is a Nerve cell and Neurons transmit nerve impulses from place to place in the body.
The blood transports all the necessary materials. Where is this blood transported to?

What is the function of the nose?
The initial pathway for air from outside the body. Warms up, filters and moistens the air.
What is Nutrient Absorption?
Through diffusion, Nutrients get absorbed into the bloodstream, and transported through the body by the cir. system
How does the Endocrine System work with the Nervous System to maintain Homeostasis?
The endocrine system works with the nervous system to regulate bodily functions by sending hormonal signals throughout the body, with both systems collaborating to maintain homeostasis
What are Nerve impulses?
Nerve impulses are electrical discharges that are transmitted along the cell membranes of neurons.
