Functions
100
The gall bladder stores this.
What is bile?
100
This is the largest artery in the human body
What is the aorta?
100
Inhalation occurs when this muscle moves down and away from the thoracic cavity
What is the diaphragm?
100
This organ absorbs water at the end of the digestive process
What is the large intestine?
100
This organ chemically digests food with gastric juices
What is the stomach?
200
The small intestine uses this structural adaptation to increase nutrient absorption.
What are villi and microvilli?
200
The superior vena cava joins the inferior vena cava to bring deoxygenated blood to this chamber of the heart
What is the right atrium?
200
The trachea divides into these before it reaches the lungs
What are the bronchi?
200
These structure prevents oxygenated from mixing with deoxygenated blood in the different chambers
What is the septum?
200
This smallest structure of the circulatory system is where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion takes place
What are the capillaries?
300
This enzyme helps in the breakdown of proteins in the stomach
What is pepsin?
300
Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and this other component.
What are platelets/thrombocytes?
300
These tiny sacs are connected to capillaries to facilitate oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion
What are the alveoli?
300
Bile salts are released in the duodenum to aid in this.
What is the emulsification of fat?
300

This flap of tissue prevents food from entering the trachea

What is the epiglottis?

400
This muscular valve is found near the heart and prevents acid reflux
What is the cardiac sphincter?
400
The AV node sends a signal through these fibres to start ventricle contraction
What are Purkinje fibres?
400

These structures hold open the trachea and the bronchi

What are cartilaginous rings?

400
If this structure does not function properly, gastric juices and chyme may cause ulcers within the duodenum
What is the pyloric sphincter?
400
This chamber of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary system
What is the right ventricle?
500
The pancreas produces these ions to help neutralize HCl in the duodenum
What are bicarbonate ions?
500
This valve is found between the left atrium and left ventricle
What is the mitral valve?
500
During excess exercise, these muscles aid in respiration by increasing and decreasing the thoracic cavity
What are the intercostal muscles?
500
The universal donor is this blood type
What is O– blood?
500

The pancreas produces this enzyme for the digestion of proteins in the duodenum

What is trypsin?
