What do you do for work?
Describe the job/function of white blood cells.
White blood cells fight disease and infection in the body.
How do the muscular system and skeletal system work together to create movement?
When a muscle shortens/contracts, it pulls on the bone causing movement.
Define voluntary muscle.
Voluntary muscle is muscle that you choose to move. It does not move on its own.
List the three types of blood cells.
red, white, platelets
Mechanical digestion is the breaking down of food using physical means (ex. teeth, crushing, squeezing).
Describe the job/function of red blood cells.
Red blood cells carry hemoglobin. They are responsible for carrying oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away from cells.
How do the respiratory and excretory systems work together?
The lungs pick up carbon dioxide from the blood and get rid of it by exhaling.
Define involuntary muscle.
Involuntary muscle is muscle that moves on its own. You do not choose to move it or have to think about it.
List the three types of muscle.
smooth, skeletal, cardiac
Define chemical digestion.
Chemical digestion is the breaking down of food using chemical means (acids and/or enzymes).
Describe the job/function of the right atrium.
The right atrium receives blood from the body that is rich in carbon dioxide.
How do the circulatory and excretory systems work together?
The circulatory system works with the excretory system to carry waste away from cells.
Name that system...
breaks down food
digestive system
List the three types of blood vessels.
capillaries, veins, arteries
Describe the path oxygen takes through the respiratory system.
mouth and/or nose
trachea
bronchi
bronchioles
alveoli
capillaries
Describe the job/function of the left ventricle.
The left ventricle brings oxygen-rich blood to the body.
How do the circulatory system and digestive system work together?
The circulatory system works with the digestive system to bring food and nutrients to cells.
Name that system...
removes liquid and gaseous waste from the body
excretory system
List the four organs of the digestive system.
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
Define homeostasis.
The body's way of keeping the internal environment stable despite changes happening outside the body.
Describe the job/function of the right ventricle.
The right ventricle brings blood containing carbon dioxide to the lungs to be released.
How do the digestive system and excretory system work together?
They work together to remove soli, liquid, and gaseous waster from the body.
What are platelets and what do they do?
Platelets are pieces of blood cells that stick together to form blood clots at a wound site.
List the levels of organization IN ORDER of smallest to largest.
cell, tissue, organ, organ system
List the four main functions of the skeletal system.
protect organs and give shape/support
provide movement
produce blood cells
store materials until the body needs them
