Body Systems 1
This organ is composed of muscle tissue and forces blood to circulate through the body
Heart
These 2 structures make up the nervous system
Brain and spinal cord
This system is the protective covering of all of the body’s other organs and systems
Integumentary System (skin)
This organ absorbs water from digested food and carries away waste to the end of the digestive system
Large Intestine
This body system is different for men and women
reproductive
These are the small sacs surrounding the lungs that help the lungs with gas exchange
Alveoli
What system catabolizes food into nutrients for cells to use?
Digestive system
This body system intakes oxygen from the atmosphere and outputs carbon dioxide
Respiratory system
This is the technical term for a baby while it is still developing in the womb
fetus
This system delivers oxygen and nutrients to various organs and tissues as well as removes waste
Circulatory or cardiovascular system
This organ is responsible for storing liquid waste until it is excreted/removed from the body
bladder
This system contains the kidneys
excretory system
This organ is separated in two parts with the right having 3 lobes and the left having 2
Lungs
This muscular organ contains gastric acid that breaks food down into a liquid
Stomach
This/these system(s) a fetus does not use while still growing in the womb as the mother performs/replaces these functions for the baby?
respiratory and digestive (baby can still engage the excretory system and the reproductive system is simply immature - but neither of those two systems are replaced by the mother!)
The shape, arrangement, and composition of ____ (eg. heart) directly affects the role/job it can perform ___ (eg. pumping muscle for circulating blood)
These blood vessels carry blood throughout the body and away from the heart
the arteries
These tiny blood vessels are found on surfaces (of organs, of the skin etc.)
capillaries
List the 6 main organs that make up the Digestive System
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder
This specific umbilical structure provides the fetus with oxygen and nutrients from the mother
the umbilical vein within the umbilical cord
These two systems work together to enable us to move
muscular and skeletal
(muscles and skeleton)
The organ that processes sensory input and responds by processing information
Brain
This is how many bones are in a human adult body
206 bones
This is the large sheet of muscle below the lungs that helps in the breathing process
diaphragm
This organ does the majority of nutrient absorption during digestion
Small intestine
These are the 4 main structures of the respiratory system
trachea, lungs, alveoli, diaphragm
This organ stores bile for the digestive system but it does not produce it
gallbladder
The combination of a toxin known as _______ plus water to dilute it produces urine
urea
The belly button is a scar left by the removal of which structure
umbilical cord
A waste gas that is transported in veins from the body to the lungs via the heart
carbon dioxide
