Stomach
The study of body structures?
Anatomy
This flap of cartilage prevents food from entering the trachea.
The epiglottis
This organ pumps blood throughout the body
<3
This type of digestion involves enzymes breaking down food molecules
chemical digestion
These structures in the small intestine increase surface area for absorption.
villi and microvilli
The correct sequence of biological organization from smallest to largest
cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism?
Tiny sacs where gas exchange occurs
alveoli
The protein that carries oxygen is called
hemoglobin
The liver produces this substance that helps break down fats
bile
This accessory organ produces enzymes like amylase, trypsin, and lipase.
Pancreas
This type of cell structure is found in all multicellular organisms
eukaryotic cell
The muscle under your lungs that contracts during inhalation
the diaphragm
These vessels carry blood away from the heart
arteries
This muscular tube connects the pharynx to the stomach
the esophagus
Name the three parts of the small intestine in order.
the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
An organ system is defined as...
a group of organs working together to perform a major body function
These tubes branch off from the trachea into the lungs
the bronchi
The route blood takes to become oxygenated and circulate back to the body
heart → lungs → heart → body
These two systems work together during gas exchange
respiratory and circulatory
The wave-like muscular contractions that push food through the digestive tract
Peristalsis
These are the four main tissue types in animals
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues
The process by which gases move across alveolar membranes
diffusion
The blood components that help with clotting
What are platelets
