100
After traveling down the esophagus via Peristaltic Movement, food stops here and is mixed with strong acids that break down proteins.
What is: The stomach!
100
What's the function of the Respiratory System?
What is: To absorb Oxygen and remove Carbon Dioxide!
100
This transports oxygen around the body and contains hemoglobin.
What is: Red Blood Cell!
100
This is the part of the neuron that transmits an impulse to the Presynaptic Terminal.
What is the Axon! (Myelin sheaths also accepted)
100
What is the purpose of the skeletal system?
What is: Provides structure, support, protection and movement to the body
200
This part is responsible for the absorption of water back into the body.
What is: The Large Intestine!
200
This is known as the voice box which contains vocal cords.
What is: The Larynx!
200
Veins carry blood to the heart. What carries blood away from the heart?
What are: Arteries
200
This is the part of the neuron that receives an impulse and transmits the signal to the nerve cell body.
What are the Dendrites!
200
This produces white and red blood cells.
What is: Bone Marrow
300
This part contains enzymes produced by the Pancreas that break down carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Nutrients are also absorbed into the bloodstream via villi
What is: The Small Intestine!
300
This is located at the back of the throat. It connects the nasal cavity and the oral cavity to the trachea.
What is: The Pharynx!
300
This circuit transports blood to the lungs, picks up O2 and drops off CO2.
What is: Pulmonary circuit!
300
When this part receives an impulse, neurotransmitters are released into the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic terminal.
What is the Presynaptic Terminal!
300
Osteoclasts break down bone, what aids in building bone?
What is: Osteoblasts!
400
These two organs work together. One produces bile, while the other stores it and delivers it to the small intestine to emulsify lipids.
What is: The Liver and Gallbladder!
400
The Trachea connects the pharynx to the Bronchi, but what does the Bronchi do?
What is: channels air into and out of the lungs!
400
This circuit transports blood to the body, picks up CO2 and drops off O2.
What is: Systemic Circuit!
400
What is the Central Nervous System comprised of? (Two Parts)
What is the Brain and Spinal Cord!
400
This is the part of the skeleton that includes the arms and legs.
What is: The Appendicular Skeleton
500
What causes the mechanical breakdown of food while also enzymatically breaking down carbohydrates via amylase? (Two Parts)
What is: The Mouth and Salivary Glands
500
What are tiny air sacs that allow for rapid air exchange. O2 moves from (this) into blood capillaries while CO2 moves from blood capillaries to (this).
What is: The Alveoli!
500
Which part of the heart recieves blood and which part pumps blood.
What is: The Atria recieves the blood and the Ventricles pump the blood.
500
This part of the nervous system comprises of the nerve cell network that spreads throughout the rest of the body.
The Peripheral Nervous System
500
This flexible connective tissue helps with joint movement and is mainly the bone composition of a newborn.
What is: Cartillage!
600
Suppose a person develops a condition that damages the villi, such as celiac disease or a chronic infection. Explain how this would affect the individual.
What is: The individual would experience reduced nutrient absorption because the Villi are responsible for absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream.
600
Suppose a person develops a condition, such as chronic bronchitis or asthma, that causes inflammation and narrowing of the Bronchi. Explain how this would affect the individual.
What is: Less air will reach the alveoli, where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream. The body will also struggle to remove CO2 from the body as well.
600
Suppose a person develops a condition such as pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Explain how this would affect the individual.
What is: Less blood reaches the lungs, reducing the amount of oxygen absorbed and carbon dioxide removed.
600
Suppose a person has a disorder that causes the myelin sheath around their neurons to deteriorate (such as in multiple sclerosis). Explain how this condition would affect the individual.
What is: Normally, impulses "jump" in between each myelin sheath (Nodes of Ranvier) making our signals incredibly fast. However, without the sheaths, the impulses must travel continuously down the axon, making them much slower and sometimes unable to reach their destination at full strength.
600
Suppose a person develops a condition such as leukemia (cancer of the bone marrow). Explain how this would affect the individual.
What is: The person would experince decreased Red and White Blood Cell production, bone pain, and other complications.
