Muscular and Skeletal
What are the main functions of the skeletal system?
1. Support and Shape
2. Movement
3. Protects vital organs
What is the main function of the respiratory system? What does it give to the body and what does it get rid of?
Breathing. Gives the body oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide (waste)
What is the main function of the circulatory system?
To send oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body through the bloodstream.
What are the three main parts of the nervous system?
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
What is the main purpose of the digestive system?
To turn food into energy for the body
What is the primary function of the muscular system?
Movement and strength
What are the four main parts of the respiratory system?
Nose, Trachea, Lungs, and the diaphragm
What are the three main parts of the cardiovascular system?
The heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood
What organ is the control center (command center) for the body?
The Brain
What are the 5 main parts of the digestive system?
Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, and Large Intestine.
What are the three main types of muscles found in the body?
Smooth Muscles - digestive system, respiratory system (involuntary)
Cardiac Muscles - heart muscles that help pump blood (involuntary)
Skeletal Muscles - Help move bones (voluntary)
What organ helps the lungs to operate by breathing in oxygen and pushing out carbon dioxide?
The diaphragm. When the diaphragm contracts you breathe in and when it relaxes you breathe out.
What carries oxygen rich blood away from the heart to all parts of the body?
Arteries
What part of the nervous system helps sends signals to and from the brain? (Also known as the highway of the nervous system)
The Spinal Cord
Which part of the digestive system absorbs nutrients from food?
The small intestines
What do we call the cords of connective tissues that attach muscles to bones? (you can feel one on the inside of your elbow)
Tendons
Which system does the respiratory work with to transport oxygen to all parts of the body?
The Circulatory system. The oxygen travels through the blood stream.
What system does the cardiovascular system work with to send oxygen to all parts of the body?
The respiratory system
How do messages get to and from the brain to all parts of the body
The Nerves
What is inside your stomach that helps to break down food and separates the nutrients inside of food?
Stomach Acid
How does the muscular system work with the skeletal system?
The bones of the skeletal system serve to protect the body's organs and give the body shape. The muscles of the muscular system attach to these bones, pulling on them to allow for movement of the body.
After we breathe in oxygen to our lungs, where does the oxygen go before it is sent to all parts of the body?
Oxygen is sent to the heart then it is transported to all parts of the body through the blood stream.
How many chamber or rooms are in the human heart?
1. Left Atrium
2. Left Ventricle
3. Right Atrium
4. Right Ventricle
What other body systems does the nervous system control?
All of them
Skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive
Which body system works with the digestive system to help transport nutrients all throughout the body?
Circulatory System
