Skeletal System
List 2 functions of the skeletal system (there are 3, but you only need to list 2)
To support the body, to protect the body, to make blood.
The main function of the nervous system.
To control other body systems
OR
To send signals to, and receive them from the body
What gas does the respiratory system move into your body?
Oxygen
The function of the circulatory system.
To move blood through the body.
The function of the digestive system
Moving sugar and nutrients into the body (eating)
This different body system connects to the bones of the skeletal system
The muscular system
These parts of the nervous system send messages to a muscle from the brain (2 words)
Motor nerves
This different body system moves oxygen from the respiratory system to the body's cells.
Circulatory system
Two important substances carried to the body's tissues by red blood cells.
Sugar and oxygen
This large organ in the digestive system is located in the abdomen and helps break food down
The stomach
This substance is made by the skeletal system.
Blood (or red blood cells)
This word describes something that the body senses, and causes it to react
Stimulus
This muscle helps to inflate the lungs.
Diaphragm
Without this system, the heart would have nothing to move through veins and arteries
Skeletal system
This body system helps to move food through the digestive system
Muscular system
This tissue of the skeletal system connects bones to bones
Ligaments
This word was used to describe the closing of your hand on the meter stick during our drop lab
Response
These two branching tubes lead into each lung
Bronchi
These blood vessels go from the heart to the body, and are usually more high-pressured.
Arteries.
This organ in the digestive system absorbs sugar and nutrients into the bloodstream
Small intestine
If someone injuries this structure of the skeletal system, they would likely be unable to move even if they flex their muscles
Tendon
This ion flows into and out of nerve cells when they activate (think back to your extension projects!)
Sodium
This structure of the immune system traps things like dust, dirt, and bacteria before they can reach the lungs
Mucosa/mucus membrane
These tiny blood vessels branch off from veins and arteries, and deliver blood cells to individual cells and tissues
Capillaries
This type of muscle surrounds the digestive system
Smooth muscle
