Digestive System
Where digestion begins- has both mechanical and chemical digestion
Mouth
The organ that pumps blood through your circulatory system
Heart
The molecule that the mouth and nose takes in from air.
Oxygen?
Health condition that affects a persons breathing. The airways are narrower than normal, and the lungs are sensitive to particles- like smoke or dust.
Asthma
The breaking apart of food using force
Mechanical Digestion
Muscular organ that contains acid to help break down the food you eat even more.
Stomach
The tubes that carry deoxygenated blood TO the heart
Veins
The molecule that is found in meat, eggs, and beans. Proteins get broken down into smaller pieces makes this molecule
Amino Acid
The health condition where a person has higher than normal levels of glucose in the blood stream.
The body either makes too much insulin, OR is unable to properly use up the insulin that is regularly made. This produces a surplus of glucose.
Diabetes
The breaking apart of food using chemical reactions
Chemical Digestion
The organ that absorbs water, and stores and compacts waste products until is can be removed from your body
Large intestine
Tubes that carry oxygenated blood AWAY from your heart to other parts of your body
Arteries
DAILY DOUBLE!!
The molecule found in bread, fruits, vegetables and rice to name a few. Starch is broken down into small pieces to make this molecule.
Glucose
The health condition where a person has fewer red blood cells than normal. Oxygen cannot get transported in the body efficiently.
Anemia
A group of parts working together to form a complex whole
System
The 5 main organs of the digestive system in order that food travels through them.
(double points if you also name the 3 accessory organs)
Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
Accessory organs: liver, pancreas, gall bladder
Small blood vessels that connect arteries to veins
Capillaries
What organ collects air that enters your body, and moves the oxygen molecules out of the air and into your blood stream?
Lungs
The type of cell that carries oxygen to all parts of your body.
Red Blood Cell
Group of atoms arranged in a specific way
Molecule
The organ that stores bile until it is used in the small intestine
Gall Bladder
The number of chambers in the heart
(BONUS: double points if you can name them all)
4 chambers
1. Left atrium
2. Right atrium
3. Left ventricle
4. Right ventricle
What organ absorbs the biomolecules from your food and releases them into your blood stream?
Small Intestine
Hormone, made by the pancreas, that allows your body to use the glucose you get from food.
Insulin
The fingerlike structures on the small intestine that increase surface area so you can absorb more nutrients.
Villi
