Body Systems
What body system breaks down food into nutrients your body can absorb?
What is the digestive system?
A type of engineer who uses technology, math, and knowledge of living systems to solve medical or biological problems.
What is a biomedical engineer?
What's the first step of the engineering design process?
What is identify the problem?
Daily Double: Name the four chambers of the heart.
What are the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle?
Daily Double: What two systems work together when the brain controls your breathing rate?
What are the nervous and respiratory systems?
What system removes waste from the body through the kidneys and bladder?
What is the excretory system?
To make better or as good as you can.
What is to optimize?
What step comes after brainstorming a solution?
What is design?

What two systems work together when the brain controls your heart rate and blood pressure?
What are the nervous and circulatory systems?
Which system helps you breathe by bringing oxygen into the body?
What is the respiratory system?
Daily Double: A minimum requirement for how the design must function.
What is criterion?
Which step comes after you build your solution?
What is test and evaluate?
What kind of blood vessel carries blood away from the heart?
What is an artery?
Which two systems work together when the lungs give oxygen to the blood?
What are the respiratory and circulatory systems?
Which body system sends signals through the body to control actions and thoughts?
What is the nervous system?
Something that limits or restricts the design.
What is a constraint?
If your first design doesn’t work, what do you do next?
What is redesign?
What kind of blood vessel carries blood towards the heart?
What is a vein?
How does the nervous system help the respiratory system work properly?

Name all three nutrients your body uses for energy.
What are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats?
The process where your lungs add oxygen to your blood.
What is oxygenation?
What’s the final step of the engineering design process?
What is share the solution?
What tiny blood vessels connect arteries and veins?
What are capillaries?
Explain how the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to deliver oxygen throughout the body.
The lungs oxygenate the blood, and the heart pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
