epiglottis |
| filters and warms the air as it enters the body |
nose |
| tube for the passage of food into the stomach |
esophagus |
| tube for the passage of air into the lungs |
trachea |
| protein digestion begins here |
stomach |
| large amounts of digestion and nutrient absorption occur here |
small intestine |
| Stores bile produced by the liver |
gall bladder |
| secretes enzymes into the small intestine for digestion |
pancreas |
| water is absorbed into the body |
large intestine |
| carbohydrate digestion begins here |
mouth |
| flap of tissue in the heart controlling direction of blood flow |
valve |
| vessels carrying blood to the heart |
vein |
| large vessel carrying all oxygenated blood out of the heart |
aorta |
| vessels carrying blood away from the heart |
arteries |
| wall of muscle separating the left and right sides of the heart |
septum |
| small vessels that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with other parts of the body |
capillaries |
| collects tissue fluid that can leak out of capillaries |
lymph |
| forms red blood cells |
blood marrow |
| helps blood clots form |
platelets |

hiccups |
| main source of fuel for the body |
glucose |
| chewing, churning, squeezing |
examples of mechanical digestion |
| enzyme action, acids |
examples of chemical digestion |
| cells get energy from this process |
cellular respiration |
| used to indicate presence of carbon dioxide |
Bromthymol blue |
| used to indicate presence of starch |
lugols / iodine |
| used to indicate presence of sugars |
