Circulatory System
Whats the function of the circulatory system ?
transport oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells and tissues, while simultaneously removing waste products like carbon dioxide
Whats the purpose of gas in the res. system ?
to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment
Whats the function of the digestive system ?
to break down food into smaller molecules, allowing the body to absorb nutrients from it, providing energy and building blocks for growth and repair, while eliminating waste products through excretion.
Whats the function of the endocrine system ?
producing hormones .
whats the function of the nervous system ?
The primary function of the nervous system is to act as the body's communication network, sending and receiving messages between the brain, spinal cord, and different parts of the body, allowing us to perceive our environment, control bodily functions, think, feel, move, and react to stimuli; essentially coordinating all bodily processes through electrical and chemical signals.
whats the function of the Arteries & Veins ?
carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body
whats diffusion & how does it connect to the res. system ?
In a process called diffusion, oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood through the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) lining the alveolar walls
When speaking about the function of the mechanical in the digestive system .. what does the mechanical do ?
In the digestive system, the "mechanical" function refers to the physical process of breaking down large food particles into smaller pieces through actions like chewing with teeth and churning movements in the stomach, essentially increasing the surface area of food to facilitate further chemical digestion by enzymes.
whats hormones ?
Hormones are your body's chemical messengers.
name 2 facts about the nervous system .
Any answer or
Whats the 3 main parts of the circulatory system ?
the heart, blood vessels, and blood
Whats the function of breathing & respiration in the respiratory system ?
to take in oxygen from the air and expel carbon dioxide
whats the function of the mouth & esophagus & how are they connected ?
the digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Your salivary glands make saliva, a digestive juice, which moistens food so it moves more easily through your esophagus into your stomach. Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food. Esophagus.
What are endocrine glands and where are they located?
Endocrine glands are specialized organs in the body that produce and secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, regulating various bodily functions like metabolism, growth, and reproduction
whats a stimuli ?
some detectable change in the environment which causes a living organism to respond to that change
whats the function of Capillaries ?
They bring nutrients and oxygen to cells in your organs and body systems.
what does the respiratory system do ?
The respiratory system takes up oxygen from the air we breathe and expels the unwanted carbon dioxide
in the digestive system .. what's the mechanical & chemical functions ?
"mechanical digestion" refers to the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces through actions like chewing and stomach churning, while "chemical digestion" involves the use of enzymes to break down the complex molecules in food into smaller, absorbable components, essentially changing the chemical composition of the food particles
whats a receptor molecule ?
A molecule inside or on the surface of a cell that binds to a specific substance and causes a specific effect in the cell.
how does the stimuli connect back to the nervous system ?
through specialized sensory receptors that detect changes in the environment, converting them into electrical signals (nerve impulses) which are then transmitted along sensory neurons to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing and response generation
what Is the main source of the blood in the circulatory system ?
heart
explain how the circulatory system connects back to the respiratory system .
The circulatory system, which is made up of the heart and blood vessels, supports the respiratory system by bringing blood to and from the lungs. The circulatory system helps deliver nutrients and oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs throughout the body. It also helps remove carbon dioxide and waste products
whats inside the small intestines in the digestive system ?
duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
name 3 things that the endocrine system does .
The endocrine system regulates growth and development, metabolism, and reproduction by releasing hormones that control various bodily functions throughout the body.
what is the overall function of the brain ?
to act as the central command center of the body, controlling all bodily functions including thought, emotion, memory, movement, perception, and sensory processing
