Human Body Organization
This model describes the structure of the cell membrane, which is made of lipids and proteins.
Fluid mosaic model
These are nutrients your body uses for quick energy.
Carbs
The first step in digestion, when food is broken into smaller pieces in the mouth.
Chewing
These are the small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
alveoli
This type of cell can become many different types of cells.
Stem cell
The sticky outer layer of some cells, often made of sugars.
Glycocalyx
These nutrients are long chains of sugars and are an important source of energy
Starches
The long tube where most nutrients are absorbed into the body
Small intestine
This large muscle under the lungs helps you breathe.
Diaphragm
The process of breaking down food into smaller parts to release energy
Catabolism
This organelle is called the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces energy.
Mitochondrion
This disease is caused by a lack of vitamin C.
Scurvy
This enzyme in saliva helps break down starches.
Amylase
This process moves oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of the blood.
Gas exchange
These are nutrients that help build proteins in the body.
Amino acids
These small structures inside a cell help transport materials and store substances
Vesicles
A method of preserving food by removing all air from the packaging.
Vacuum packing
These tiny finger-like structures inside the small intestine help absorb nutrients.
Villi
The tube that carries air from your throat to your lungs.
These are the small openings in your nose that let air in and out.
Nasal passages
This network of proteins inside a cell give it shape and helps it move
Cytoskeleton
A protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.
Haemoglobin
This valve is between the small and large intestines
Ileocecal valve
A condition where the lungs become damaged and make it hard to breathe, often caused by smoking.
Emphysema
A condition where the liver is damaged and scarred, often caused by alcohol or disease.
Cirrhosis
