This system holds the body up and provides support.
What is the skeletal system?
100
This system breaks down nutrients.
What is the digestive system?
100
This theory states that many diseases are caused by specific microorganisms.
What is the germ theory?
100
Bone marrow and the dermis have this in common.
What is they are both sites of new cell formation?
100
This gland relies on the circulatory system to transport chemical compounds to other systems.
What is the pituitary gland?
200
This system controls all the body processes.
What is the nervous system?
200
This system acts as the first barrier to protect the body.
What is the integumentary system?
200
Only one of the following is not explained by the germ theory: Malaria HIV Cancer Flu
What is cancer?
200
These tiny blood vessels connect arteries and veins. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs here.
What are capillaries?
200
This system works alongside the circulatory system to bring oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
300
This system, if it stopped functioning, would lead to diabetes.
What is the endocrine system?
300
This system does NOT rely on the autonomic nervous system.
What is the skeletal system?
300
A hospital does this to reduce the spread of infection.
What is keep infected patients confined and limit visitors?
300
These structures make and secrete molecules to help muscle cells move.
What is an axon?
300
Deoygenated blood moves through this vessel.
What are veins?
400
This type of digestion occurs when nutrients are broken down chemically. An example is the saliva in our mouths.
What is chemical digestion?
400
These structures connect bone to a joint.
What is a ligament?
400
This pathogen can only reproduce itself if it takes over a host.
What is a virus?
400
Oxygenated blood moves through this vessel.
What are arteries?
500
The vertebrae are an example of this type of joint.
What is a gliding or saddle joint?
500
In the heart, blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, where it is then pumped to this.
What is the lung?
500
The human immune system produces this in response to a vaccine to bind to and destroy a pathogen.
What is an antibody?
500
These two structures share the function of reabsorbing water into the body.
What are the large intestine and the kidney?
500
This is the flow of the blood through the human body, including the 4 chambers of the heart.
What is Blood low in oxygen comes from the body into the right atrium, where it is pumped into the right ventricle and then to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and then moves to the left atrium and then the left ventricle before being pumped out to the body. Blood flows through arteries and then into capillaries, where oxygen is delivered to tissues. Deoxygenated blood then moves into veins and back to the right atrium of the heart.
