Brain/Nervous System
Which lobe of the brain is primarily responsible for vision?
The Occipital lobe.
This chamber of the heart receives oxygen-poor blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava.
What is the right atrium?
These bones shown surrounding the lungs in the diagram form the protective cage of the thorax.
What are the ribs?
This is the total number of bones typically shown in the adult human skeleton according to the image.
What is 206 bones?
In the front-view diagram of the muscular system, this large muscle covers the upper chest region on each side.
What is the pectoralis major?
Which part of the brain helps with posture, balance, and coordination of movement?
The Cerebellum.
Shown in blue in the circulatory diagram, this major vessel returns deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body back to the heart.
What is the inferior vena cava?
In the branching diagram of the airways, this large tube is shown splitting into the right and left main bronchi.
What is the trachea?
In the frontal view image of the skeleton, this long bone is located between the shoulder and the elbow on each side.
What is the humerus?
In the labelled muscular-system diagram (front and back), this muscle is shown on the outer side of the thigh (upper leg) in the front view and is part of the quadriceps group.
What is the vastus lateralis?
What structure connects the brain to the rest of the body and allows communication with the peripheral nervous system?
The Spinal Cord.
This valve, located between the left atrium and left ventricle, prevents blood from flowing backward as the ventricle contracts.
What is the mitral (bicuspid) valve?
In the diagram of the lungs, the left lung is slightly smaller than the right because of this nearby organ’s presence.
What is the heart?
The skeletal system includes bones plus these two other types of structures.
What are cartilage and ligaments?
According to the diagram, the muscles that pull your arm away from the body (abduction) at the shoulder include this triangular muscle covering the shoulder.
What is the deltoid?
What area of the brain is involved in understanding language, and what area is involved in producing speech?
Wernicke’s area = language comprehension
Broca’s area = speech production/control
This artery, branching from the heart’s left ventricle as shown in red, supplies oxygen-rich blood to the entire body.
What is the aorta?
In the bronchial branching diagram, these smaller-diameter airways lack the cartilage reinforcement seen in the larger bronchi.
What are the bronchioles?
In the full‐body anterior skeleton diagram, the girdle bone pair that connects the arms to the torso is clearly visible under the neck region; name one of those bones.
What is the clavicle? (the collarbone) — visible in the appendicular skeleton portion of the anterior diagram.
In the back view of the muscular system diagram, this broad muscle spans from the lower back up to under the shoulder blades and is responsible for pulling the arm backward and toward the body.
What is the latissimus dorsi?
Name the three protective layers (meninges) surrounding the spinal cord in order from outermost to innermost.
Dura mater (outermost)
Arachnoid mater
Pia mater (innermost)
In the full-body diagram, these paired abdominal organs receive a major portion of cardiac output through renal arteries and return filtered blood through renal veins.
What are the kidneys?
According to the rib-and-lung diagram, this muscular structure forms the base upon which each lung rests and plays a key role in breathing.
What is the diaphragm?
Dividing the human skeleton into two major parts, the axial skeleton runs along the long axis of the body. Name one of the three components included in the axial skeleton.
What is the skull, the vertebral column, or the thoracic cage (ribs/sternum)?
The kid-friendly explanation page mentions that muscles work in pairs because they can only pull, not push. According to that explanation, the muscle that bends your elbow (on the front of the arm) usually has this partner muscle on the back of the arm which straightens the elbow.
What is the triceps (as the partner to the biceps)?
