Body systems
respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, immune, edocrine
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| name 3 glands | ovaries/release eggs and estrogen, testis/store sperm and testosterone, pituitary/regulate growth and endocrine system |
| anus | opening for solid waste |
| appenidix | no human function/fat digesetion |
| bladder | stores liquid waste |
| body's most important defense | the skin |
| capillaries | wrap around aveoli, oxygen diffuses into blood vessels |
| complementary hormone action | hormones having opposite effects |
| control of respiratoryy system? | medulla oblongata |
| digestive system | change food through chemical/mechanical action, into sources the body can use |
| duodenum | first 10-12 inches of small intestine, most digestion/nutrientt absorbtion occurs |
| endocrine system | made of glands that reslease products into bloodstream to delvier messages to the body |
| epiglottis | skin, covers larynx blocks food |
| esophagus | connects mouth to stomach |
| excretory system | removes waste from body |
| exhalation | chest cavity is high pressure |
| gall bladder | stores bile |
| homeostasis | maintaining a steady internal environment |
| hormones | chemicals that relay messages and affect activities in a certain part of the body |
| control of endocrine system | feedback mechanism |
| immune response | antigens trigger the release of specific defenses |
| inflammatory response | body produces white blood cells to fight infection |
| inhalation | chest cavity is low pressure |
| kidney units | nephron, bbowman's capsule, glomerulus |
| kidneys | filter waste our of blood |
| large intestine | colon, abosrbs excess water, holds waste |
| liver | produces bile for fat digestion |
| nonspecific defenses | general barrier, skin, mucus, sweat |
| pancreas | secretes digestive enzymes, releases sodium bicarbonate |
| path of excretory waste | arteries, renal arteries, uterers, bladder, urethra |
| pathway of air | pharynx larynx trachea bronchi bronchioles aveoli |
| pathway of food | mouth/tongue/salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus |
| pathway of blood thru heart | superior/inferior vena cava, right atrium, right ventricle, puliminary arteries, lungs, pulminary veins, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta body |
| rectum | stores waste |
| renal arteries | bring blood from heart to kidney |
| renal veins | bring blood from kidney to heart |
| salivary glands | secrete liquid/enzyme (analase) to convert starch to sugars |
| small intestine | nutrient absorbtion |
| specific defenses | cells that target specific pathogens |
| stomach | stores food while enzymes break down macromolecules, uses mechanical/chemical digestion |
| target cells | cells that have receptors fro a specific hormone |
| tongue | moves food around |
| ureters | drainage tubes connecting kidney to bladder |
| urethra | opening for urine |
| villi | line small intestine |
