Nervous system
Name the cell of the nervous system
Neurons
What is the messenger in the endocrine system?
Hormones
List 4 types of microrganism
Bacteria, Virus, Fungi, Protists
What organelle is named the 'powerhouse of the cell'?
Mitochondria
What are the colours of the Japanese flag?
White and red.
The elongated 'body' of the neuron is called:
Axon
What is the endocrine system?
What is herd immunity?
When the majority of a population is vaccinated against a pathogen, others who are not vaccinated can also be protected.
Name the four spheres of Earth.
Hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere/lithosphere
How do you say goodbye in Japanese?
Which part of the neuron receive messages and which part of the neuron transmit the message?
Receive = Dendrites
Transmit = Axon terminal
List 2 endocrine glands and the hormone they produce.
Pancreas (Insulin and Glucagon)
Adrenal (Adrenalin)
Ovaries (Oestrogen and Progesterone)
Testes (Testosterone)
Thyroid (Thyroxin)
Pituitary (Oxytocin and human growth hormone)
Name 3 types of transmission methods a disease can enter your body
Airborne, blood/Body, Faecal-Oral, Waterborne, Vector
An atom with an increased number of neutrons in its nucleus is called:
An Isotope
What are the two most common religions in Japan?
Buddhism and Shintoism
What does the neurotransmitter do?
Transmit message from one neuron to the next via the synapses.
Hormones travel through the blood. Why is it that not all cells are triggered when hormones are released?
Only certain target cells have the unique receptors that can recognise specific hormones, like a lock and key.
What is the 2nd line of defence in the immune system - what cells are involved and what symptoms does it cause?
Is it a specific or non-specific response?
A non-specific response to pathogens that use histamine, neutrophils and macrophages to destroy pathogens. Causes fever and inflammations
Au
Name 3 Japanese martial arts.
Any of: karate, judo, kendo, aikido, sumo.
List the 4 steps required for a electrical impulse to travel to the next neuron
1. Electrical impulse travel along the axon
2. Trigger the axon terminal to release neurotransmitters
3. Neurotransmitter travel/diffuse across the synapses
4. Neurotransmiter binds to the receptors on the second neuron's dendrites and stimulate the second impulse
After a big bowl of pasta, your blood sugar goes up. How does your body decrease blood sugar again? Explain using the stimulus-response model.
Stimulus: high blood sugar
Receptor: chemoceptors
Control centre: beta cells in pancreas release insulin
Effector: cells in the body take up glucose from the blood.
Response: blood sugar goes down
Describe how the 3rd line of defence is a specific response, while the 2nd and 1st are not.
The 3rd line of defence involves antibodies produced by B cells that specifically target antigens of particular pathogens. It also produces memory cells which help to retain information of specific pathogens for future infections. The 1st and 2nd lines of defence are non-specific - barriers and immune cells like macrophages try and protect your body regardless of the specific pathogen.
Give the order of the planets in the Solar System, from the Sun.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Name all 5 Japanese teachers at Yarrabing.
Takahama Sensei, Miya Sensei, Lemon Sensei, Walsh Sensei, Kurashige Sensei.
