Musculoskeletal
What is the role that the muscular and skeletal system share
movement
Role of the respiratory system is to
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
What is the major function of the digestive system
absorbing nutrients and removing waste
what cells allow for messages to be sent and received in the nervous system
neurons
What is Alzheimer's and what human body system does it affect
a brain disorder that involves the progressive death of nerve cells, leading to severe dementia and impaired brain function over time. It affects the central nervous system
the muscular and skeletal systems are connected by
tendons
role of the circulatory system
transport blood, nutrients, oxygen, and waste
where does chemical digestion begin in the digestive system
in our saliva while chewing
The first line of defense in the immune system is
the skin and mucus membrane
What is osteoporosis and what body system does it affect
skeletal disease that reduces bone mineral density and mass, making bones weak, porous, and fragile, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It primarily affects the skeletal system
The skeletal system stores what
minerals such as calcium and phosphorus
Where is oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the body
alveoli's
what is the role of villi located in the small intestine
to aide in nutrient absorption
Explain how reflexes work
our neurons in our body receive a sensation through the senses but instead of taking that message all the way to the brain, it stops at the spinal cord to send a quicker reaction back to the original body part.
What is cystic fibrosis and what human body system does it affect
a genetic condition that makes mucus and sweat thicker and stickier than normal, leading to problems in the respiratory and digestive system by blocking airways
The fingers in our hands have these types of joints
hinge joints
what is the difference between red and white blood cells
red blood cells transport oxygen and nutrients while white blood cells fight off infection
describe why someone may be constipated in connection to the digestive system
food is moving too slowly through the large intestine and too much liquid is being absorbed out
What are the 4 types of pathogens (germs)
bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites
What is lymphoma and what body system does it affect
a type of cancer that starts in the lymphatic system, a part of the immune system that includes lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and organs like the spleen and bone marrow. It occurs when white blood cells called lymphocytes grow out of control and form tumors, impairing the immune system's ability to fight infection.
Muscles move our body by
contracting/shortening and lengthening
How does the respiratory and circulatory systems work together
the respiratory system takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, while the circulatory system transports this oxygen to the body's tissues and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation.
Someone who is struggling to break down fats in their digestive system probably has a problem with what organ?
Their liver
What are T Cells
T cells help identify and eliminate pathogens
What is lupus and what body systems does it affect
chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues in the body, leading to inflammation and potential damage in various organs. affects multiple body systems, including the musculoskeletal, skin, cardiovascular, nervous, renal (kidneys), and circulatory systems
