| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Body system which contains the largest organ (skin), & accessory organs (hair, fingernails, toenails, sweat glands, & sebaceous glands) | Integumentary System |
| Outer covering for your body, protects tissues, helps regulate body heat, allows you to sense touch, pain, temperature, pressure, produces certain chemicals, like vit. D, first line of defense against bacteria & other germs. | Skin |
| Name the skins 3 layers. | epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis |
| The outermost thin layer of skin. | epidermis |
| The middle layer of skin, where a lot of the actions/operations take place. | dermis |
| Innermost layer main job is temperature control. | hypodermis |
| Tissue located in the hypodermis that provides padding & insurlation. | Adipose Tissue (fat) |

| Body system that breaks down food you eat into nutrients your body needs. | digestive system |
| Organ where ingestion(eating) and mastication (chewing) occur. | mouth |
| 2 organs where deglutition (swallowing) occurs. | pharynx & esophagus |
| Organ that stores food & where the physical breakdown of food occurs. | stomach |
| Organ where most of the digestion (chemical breakdown) & absortion of nutrients occur. | small intestines |
| Organ where the formation of feces occurs. | lg. intestines |
| Organ where defecation occurs. | rectum |
| Pathway by which food enters & leaves the body. | alimentary canal |
| 3 organs which are accessory organs of the digestive system. | liver, gallbladder, pancreas |
| Organ where multiple functions related to changing nutrients to forms the body can use. | liver |
| Organ that stores & secretes bile. | gallbladder |
| A chemical which helps digest fats. | bile |
| Organ where the secretion of chemicals called enzymes help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. | pancreas |
| Where the stomach pokes up into the thoracic cavity because of a hole in the diaphragm muscle. | hiatal hernia |
| Disorder where the stomach contents back up into the esophagus causing severe chest pain. (heartburn) | gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn) |
| The inflammation of the stomach lining causing pain & nausea. OTC drugs may cause this. | gastritis |

| Cancer of the large intestine. | colon cancer |
| Body system that rids your body of waste & maintains fluid/salt balance; filters unwanted chemicals out of blood & into urine. | urinary system |
| Urinary system consist of: | 2 kidneys, 2 ureters, bladder, urethra |
| Organs that help regulate your blood pressure, control pH level, control the amt of some chemicals in the body, stimulate making of red blood cells, help maintain water & removes wastes. | kidneys |
| Muscular tubes that propel urine from the kidneys to the bladder. | ureters |
| Organ that holds the urine until it is released from the body. | bladder |
| A tube that transports urine from the bladder for removal from the body. | urethra |
| Machines that artificially filter a persons blood if his kidneys have failed. | Dialysis machine |
| Infection of the bladder. (frequent urination, painful) | Lower urinary tract infection |
| Infection of the kidneys. (fever, chills, headache, back pain that is fairly consistant. | upper urinary tract infection |
| Chemicals crystallize into stones that can block the kidneys or ureters; when trapped extremely painful in the back & upper abdomen that comes & goes. | renal calculi (kidney stones) |
| Diseased kidneys that no longer can filter urine. (dialysis, kidney transplant) | chronic renal failure |
| Problems with the nerves to the bladder, it won't empty properly, increasing the risk of urinary infections. | neurogenic bladder disorders |
| An involuntary loss of urine that can be caused by a variety of reasons. | urinary incontinance |
| Body system that allows you to breathe. | respiratory system |
| Molecules produced by oxygen that store the energy your cells need to do their jobs. | ATP molecules |
| 4 different breathing processes make up.... | respiration |
| The process that moves air into & out of your lungs, you can see & feel this process. | ventilation |
| The gas exchange where oxygen moves from the air in the lungs into the blood & at the same time carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the air in the lungs. | external respiration |
| The gas exchange where there is a switch between cells in the blood & cells throughout the body. oxygen moves into the body's cells & carbon dioxide moved out. | internal respiration |
| The process where individual cells use oxygen, carried to them by the bloodstream to perform their functions. | cellular respiration |
| Inflammation of the tissue in the lobes of the lungs, caused by a virus, bacterium, or some sort of chemial irritation. | pneumonia |
| Inflammation of the bronchioles due to the same causes as pneumonia. | bronchitis |
| Destruction of the alveoli in the lungs, preventing adequate air exchange. (normally caused by smoking) | emphysema |
| Inflammation & constriction of the bronchioles causing a characteristic wheezing sound. (severe attacks can be life threatening) | asthma |
