Gas Exchange / Cellular Respiration
The gas that we exhale
Carbon Dioxide!
The molecule that muscle cells absorb for energy
Glucose
A way in which our body cools down.
Glands release sweat
The primary organ involved in osmoregulation
kidneys
set point
the norm / ideal levels
The system responsible for circulating oxygen throughout the body
the circulatory system
The small molecule that ALL living things need to survive, AND is produced from cellular respiration
ATP!
The organ which releases insulin
Pancreas
A way in which our body warms up
Muscles shiver
Atoms which, when dissolved in water, have an electrical charge, and which help our body regulate chemical reactions
Electrolytes / ions / salts
something found in the environment which causes a response in the body
stimulus
The system responsible for getting oxygen into the lungs and getting carbon dioxide out of the lungs
The respiratory system
The energy packed molecule used as an INPUT in cellular respiration
Glucose!
The stimulus that causes the release of insulin
High blood sugar/glucose levels
The ideal temperature of our internal organs.
98.6 degrees Farenheit / 37 degrees Celsius
the feeling that humans get when the brain senses that we are dehydrated
thirst!
the process by which our body maintains optimal conditions
homeostasis
The system which allows us to sense, interpret, and respond to stimuli
The nervous system
The vehicle of transportation for oxygen to reach all parts of the body
Red blood cells / the blood
The organs most heavily impacted by high blood sugar levels / by diabetes.
eyes, nerves & kidneys
The outermost parts of our body (farthest away from the heart)
The extremities
The flow/movement of water in and out of cells
osmosis
the type of feedback mechanism which keeps things at an ideal level in the body
negative feedback mechanisms!
The system consisting of organs that can produce and release hormones
the endocrine system
The feature of the nervous system that allows our bodies to detect when carbon dioxide levels in the blood are high.
Sensors / Sensory neurons / Sensory receptors
A way that insulin results in lower blood sugar levels
Causing muscle cells to absorb glucose / causing the liver to store glucose as glycogen
The role of the circulatory system in regulating body temperature
Constriction / dilation of the blood vessels
The response of the kidneys when a person is dehydrated
filter out salts from the blood / create urine high in salt levels / return water to the circulatory system
the mechanism through which a process is reinforced / promoted
positive feedback
Two body systems that work closely together to achieve a function (MUST GIVE AN EXAMPLE)
respiratory + circulatory to get oxygen to all organs / nervous system + circulatory to maintain ideal temperature / endocrine + muscular system to maintain glucose levels ... et ceteraaaaaaaaa
