Circulatory System
What's the function of the circulatory System?
To transport materials throughout the body
Whats the function of the Respiratory System
To exchange gases into the atmosphere and blood
What is the function of the Digestive System?
To break down food and absorb nutrients into the bloodstream
What is the function of the Endocrine System and what is the system composed of?
To produce and secrete hormones.
It's composed of many Organs and Glands
Whats the function of the Nervous System?
To sense and respond to stimuli inside and outside the body.
Cardiovascular
Whats is the physical process of the Respiratory System?
Its when you inhale and exhale air in and out of your lungs
Name 3 nutrients the digestive system provides.
Glucose, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide
Each hormone is specifically shaped, why?
What is a Stimuli?
A thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue.
How does the Circulatory System help maintain homeostasis?
It transports materials needed around the body to maintain homeostasis.
What is the chemical process of the Respiratory System?
Its where oxygen is used to breakdown glucose in order to create ATP
How does the digestive system work together with to maintain homeostasis?
The digestive system break down nutrients/glucose so that the circulatory system can transport it through out the body.
How does the Endocrine System work together with the Circulatory System to maintain homeostasis?
The Endocrine system produces hormones and the Circulatory System transports the hormones to the target cell
Whats the function of the CNS
it decides how to get into or respond by giving orders to the body
Why is the Circulatory System important?
Its important b/c it transports all materials needed in our body to keep us functioning/maintain homeostasis
Why does the Respiratory System bring in oxygen?
It is needed by the cells to create ATP
Why does the Digestive System break down nutrients?
To break down the nutrients that are needed for respiration
What are Receptor Molecules?
Specifically shaped protein molecules in the cell membrane that receive hormones from other cells
Whats the function of the PNS
When we exercise why does our heart beat faster?
To supply your heart with more oxygen and glucose needed to make ATP
How does the Respiratory System maintain homeostasis?
Oxygen diffuses in the blood and is carried throughout the body
The Large Intestine
How does a hormone secreted from a gland near the brain reach a target cell in the ovary?
Through the receptor molecules and circulatory
Where is the CNS and PNS located?
CNS- Brain
PNS- Veins
