The Human Body
Muscular System and Respiratory System
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Major Functions of Muscular System | Allows body movement by expanding and contracting, generates warmth, provides posture, and helps with digestion and circulation. |
| Three types of Muscle Tissue | Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac |
| Skeletal Muscle Tissue | Attaches to the bone to move the skeleton. Bicep is an example. |
| Smooth Muscle Tissue | Makes up most organs. The stomach is an example. |
| Cardiac Muscle Tissue | Muscle only found in the heart. |
| Biceps/triceps | major muscles that help move the arm |
| Quadriceps/Hamstrings | muscles that move the upper leg. |
| Heart | another type of muscular organ in the body. |
| True or False | Digestion and heart rate are controlled by involuntary muscles or muscles that you cant control. |
| Voluntary Muscles | muscles that you can control such as moving your legs or arms. |
| What other systems does the muscular system work with? | skeletal - for movement of body digestive - for proper function of digestive system circulatory - helps move blood throughout the body |
| Respiratory System | also known as the Pulmonary System. |
| Respiratory System Functions | Responsible for getting oxygen in to the body and removing carbon dioxide from the body. |
| Nostrils/Mouth | Openings that allow air to enter the body |
| Trachiea | Windpipe |
| Larynx | voice box or Adam's apple |
| Bronchi | tube that branches and enters each lung. |
| Bronchioles | smaller tubes than branch from bronchi |
| Lungs | spongy tissue where Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange |
| Diaphragm | dome shaped muscle that aids in breathing |
| Epiglottis | small flap of tissue that closes off respiratory system when eating and closes off digestive system when talking or breathing |
| Alveoli | small sacs at the end of the bronchioles where gas is exchanged. |
| Breathing | is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs. |
| Respiration | is the process by which a body gets and uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water. |
| False | Breathing and Respiration the same thing. |
| Respiratory and other systems | Circulatory provides oxygen and removes waste products such as carbon dioxide and water from the cells. Muscular - helps expand and contract lungs |
