The part of the body where food enters, and digestion begins.
What is the mouth?

This is the most important part of the Circulatory System

What is the HEART!

Multiple correct answers including:


- severity of side effects

- probability of side effects (% of participants who had side effects)

- effectiveness of medicine

After traveling down the esophagus, food stops here and is mixed with strong acids.

What is the stomach?

200

Running parallel to the food tube, this pipe brings oxygen to the lungs.

What is the trachea?

200

The main purpose of the circulatory system

Move nutrients, gases, and wastes throughout the body

200

The topic of our next unit

Cells to Organisms

300

The factor you manipulate (change) in an experiment too see if it has an effect on another factor.

What is the independent variable?

300

In this tube you will find the solid waste remaining, after the water has been absorbed

What is large intestine?

300

The muscle responsible for expanding and contracting the lungs.

What is the diaphragm?

300

The large blood vessel with thick walls that usually carry blood with mostly oxygen

What are the arteries?

300

Evidence comes from _________ and reasoning uses _________.

observations; inferences

400

The factor you measure in your experiment that is being affected by the factor you manipulated

What is a dependent variable

400

What is the purpose of the digestive system?

To extract nutrients from food, and get rid of waste.

400

What is the purpose of the respiratory system?

To fuel the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

400

The type of blood vessel that is kinda big and usually carries blood with carbon dioxide and other waste

What is a vein?

400

How are the circulatory and respiratory systems connected?

Respiratory system provides the oxygen that the circulatory system transports to other parts of the body. The circulatory system also collects carbon dioxide from the body and the lungs remove it.

500

How could you determine whether or not a clinical trial is ethical and scientifically valid study? (what would make it fair? what would make it a good experiment?)

Multiple correct responses including:

- participants knowingly participate (informed consent)

- many participants

- diverse participants

- extra variables are controlled

500

The organ responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food and adding them to the blood stream

What is in the small intestine?

500

There are about 300 million of these in each lung.

What is alveoli?

500

Describe what happens to blood as it follows this path:

 lungs --> heart --> leg muscles --> heart --> lungs


Has oxygen when it leaves lungs

Heart sends it through arteries to legs

Blood gives oxygen to leg muscle cells and takes carbon dioxide and other waste

Travels through veins to heart, which sends it to lungs

When blood reaches lungs, the carbon dioxide in it is exchanged for oxygen

500

A conclusion you make based on observations

What is an inference?
