tube that food uses to travel to stomach
Esophagus
air travels in this to get between mouth/nose and bronchial tubes
Trachea
thinnest blood vessels where nutrients and gases enter/exit bloodstream and are delivered to cells of your body
Capillaries
Part inside your bones that makes red blood cells
Bone Marrow
Two systems that work together to help your body move
Skeletal and Muscular Systems
finishes digestion, where nutrients absorbed into blood stream
Small Intestine
air travels in this to get between trachea and lungs (enters the lungs)
Bronchial Tubes
Carries carbon-dioxide filled blood back towards the heart
Veins
Muscles your body moves automatically (heart, etc)
Involuntary Muscles
Two systems that work together to breathe in oxygen, deliver oxygen to your cells, remove carbon dioxide from your cells, and breathe out carbon dioxide
Respiratory System and Circulatory System
where water is absorbed, what can’t be digested is stored until removed from body
Large Intestine
air travels in this to get between bronchial tubes and alveoli
Bronchioles
Carries oxygen-rich blood AWAY from the heart
Arteries
Attaches bone to muscle
Tendon
Two systems that work together to break down food into nutrients and deliver nutrients to your cells
Digestive and Circulatory Systems
secretes digestive chemicals into chyme as it enters the small intestine, stores excess nutrients
Liver
Air sacs in lungs that help oxygen enter bloodstream, carbon dioxide exit bloodstream
Alveoli
This part of the circulatory system includes your: heart, blood, and blood vessels
Cardiovascular System
Purpose of the Muscular System
Helps your body move
Purpose of the Nervous System
Control center of your body – sends and carries signals to each body part to make each part does its job
The purpose of the digestive system
Breaks down your food into nutrients your body can use and gets rid of waste
The purpose of the Respiratory System
Helps you breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide/gets oxygen into your blood and carbon dioxide out of your blood
Purpose of the Circulatory System
Transportation system of the body – moves around things like: nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
The four purposes of the Skeletal System
Provides support, structure, and shape to your body; protects vital organs; works with your muscles to help your body move; creates red blood cells
