Cellular Respiration
This substance in gas form is essential for allowing our cells to perform cellular respiration.
Oxygen.
The side of the heart that pumps blood to the body.
Left Side of the Heart
This nutrient provides the body with a quick source of energy.
Carbohydrates
Majority of nutrients are absorbed into the blood through this part of the digestive system.
The small intestine.
Function of bones in the skeletal system.
Provide structural support
Protect internal organs
Facilitate movement
Blood cell production
The energy molecule produced by respiration.
ATP
Blood vessel that transports blood towards the heart.
Veins (e.g. Vena Cava & Pulmonary Vein).
This type of nutrient is required for cellular respiration.
Glucose (sugar, broken down from carbohydrates)
This organ filters waste & excess water from the blood.
Kidney
This connects muscles to bones.
Tendons.
Cellular respiration happens inside this part of the cell.
Mitochondria.
These tiny air sacs are where oxygen enters the blood.
Alveoli
This type of nutrient is needed long-term energy.
Fats
This organ produces bile to help break down fats.
Liver
Muscles move bones by doing this.
Contracting.
This gas is released as a waste product of respiration.
Carbon Dioxide.
Muscles that contract & expand to allow you to inhale & exhale.
Diaphragm & intercoastal muscles.
This nutrient is broken down into amino acids.
Protein.
The process that forms urea.
Protein breakdown in the digestive system.
This connects bones to other bones.
Ligament
I am the form of respiration that occurs when there is no presences of oxygen.
Anaerobic Respiration
This chamber of the heart is where blood is pumped to the lungs.
Right Ventricle.
This nutrient is important for normal vision & supporting the immune system.
Vitamin A
This muscular movement pushes food through the digestive tract.
Peristalsis
An example of muscles that work in pairs.
Hamstrings & Quadriceps
Biceps & Triceps
Gluteal & Hip Flexor
