Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
hydrostatic skeleton   a fluid filled internal cavity surrounded by muscle tissue  
🗑
coelom   the fluid filled cavity(SEE-lum)  
🗑
nerve net   a net-like control system that sends signals to and from all parts of the body  
🗑
neuron   basic functioning unit of the nervous system  
🗑
undulation   some animals move in a wavelike motion example: snakes and eels  
🗑
diffusion   is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration  
🗑
spiracles   tiny holes on the surface of an organism where oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide leaves the body example: beetles and spiders  
🗑
gills   are organs that enable oxygen to diffuse into an animal's body and carbon dioxide to diffuse out example: fish  
🗑
exchange   to transfer  
🗑
open circulatory system   is a system that transports blood and other fluids into open spaces that surround organs in the body  
🗑
closed circulatory system   is a system that transports materials through blood using vessels  
🗑
crop   is a specialized structure in the digestive system where ingested material is stored  
🗑
gizzard   is a muscular pouch similar to a stomach that is used to grind food  
🗑
absorption   is the process in which nutrients from digested food are taken into the body  
🗑
3 structures for support are?   1. hydrostatic skeleton (ex. earthworm) 2. exoskeleton (ex. crabs and snails) 3. endoskeleton (ex. fish, birds, mammals)  
🗑
exoskeleton   hard outer covering that proviodes support and protection for many invertebrates  
🗑
endoskeleton   a covering that protects internal organs and provides the organism with structure and support like bones or cartilage  
🗑
nerve cord   allows signals to move directly between neurons and the brain (also called spinal cord)  
🗑
function of the circulatory system is to what?   circulatory system and respiratory system work together to supply cells with oxygen and nutrients  
🗑
3 parts of the circulatory system are?   1. heart 2. blood vessels 3. blood  
🗑
heart   major organ for pumping blood in your body  
🗑
3 kinds of blood vessels are?   1. arteries 2. veins 3. capillaries  
🗑
What is the job of the arteries?   carry oxygenated blood (red) to and away from the heart  
🗑
what is the job of the veins?   carry deoxygenated blood (blue) to the heart  
🗑
what is the job of the capillaries?   bring food and oxygen to the cells and carry waste away (CO2); they are very small  
🗑
blood is made up of what 4 things?   1. red blood cells 2. white blood cells 3. platelets 4. plasma  
🗑
what is the job of red blood cells?   carry oxygen and CO2  
🗑
what is the job of the white blood cells?   fight pathogens  
🗑
what is the job of the platelets?   to help clot blood  
🗑
what is plasma?   it is the liquid part of the blood  
🗑
what is the flow of blood through the body?   heart -> arteries -> capillaries -> veins -> back to the heart  
🗑
what is the function of the respiratory system?   exchanges oxygen and CO2 between red blood cells, air and cells (diffusion: High to low)  
🗑
what are the 7 main parts of the respiratory system?   1. nose 2. mouth 3. pharynx 4. larynx 5. trachea 6. bronchiole tubes 7. alveoli  
🗑
where is the pharynx found?   upper part of the throat  
🗑
what does the larynx contain?   vocal cords  
🗑
what is the trachea also known as?   windpipe  
🗑
what are the bronchiole tubes?   two passageways branching into the lungs  
🗑
what is the job of the alveoli?   tiny air sacs where oxygen and CO2 are exchanged  
🗑
what is the function of the skeletal system?   1. support your body 2. protects organs 3. allows the body to move 4. makes blood cells  
🗑
what are the parts of the skeletal system?   1. bones 2. ligaments 3. tendons 4. cartilage  
🗑
what is the function of the joint?   where bones meet and allow for movement  
🗑
what are 3 types of joints in your body?   1. ball and socket joint (shoulder and hip) 2. hinge joint (elbow) 3. pivot joint (neck)  
🗑
what is the function of the nervous system?   control and coordinate "everything"...all movement and all activities of organs and organ systems  
🗑
what are the major parts of the nervous system?   1. brain 2. spinal cord 3. neurons  
🗑
what is the job of the brain?   control center of the entire body  
🗑
what is the job of the spinal cord?   carries messages to and from brain  
🗑
what is the job of the neurons?   basic nerve cells that carry messages throughout the body  
🗑
what is a nerve net?   primitive "net like" system sending signals throughout a simple organisms body  
🗑
what does the nerve net do?   helps in movement, detecting food and capuring prey  
🗑
what organisms would have a nerve net?   found in organisms with "no brain" example: jelly fish, sea star, sea anemones, hydras  
🗑
