| Which organ helps mammals eliminate bodily waste? | kidney |
| ______ carry blood to the heart, whereas ______ carry blood away from the heart. | Veins Arteries |
| What is the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion | Mechanical digestion breaks down food using peristalsis while chemical digestion uses enzymes to break down food. |
| Which system are the intestines a part of? digestive lungs? Respiratory heart? circulatory stomach? | digestive |
| Which system pumps blood, which carries nutrients and oxygen, to cells in the body? | Cardiovascular/circulatory |
| Which two systems include blood from the heart and air in the lungs and work together? | Cardiovascular and the respiratory |
| What is the pathway that correctly describes the movement of blood? | heart>lungs>heart>body>heart |
| What is an organ system? | A group of organs that work together to perform body functions and serves the needs of cells. Give an example. The cardiovascular system pumps blood, which carries nutrients and oxygen, to cells in the body. |
| What carries carbon dioxide to the lungs and transports oxygen to cells in all parts of the body? | blood |
| What would happen if blood did not contain red blood cells? | The blood would not be able to carry oxygen. |
| What is the process where oxygen moves from a higher concentration in the lungs to a lower concentration in the blood stream? | diffusion |
| Which muscle contracts to begin the process of inhalation? | diaphragm |
| Which system transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells, maintains homeostasis and removes wastes from the body? | cardiovascular |
| What are the main components that make up blood? | red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets |
| What is the primary function of the digestive system? | to digest food so that it can be used by the body |
| What are the five main parts of the cardiovascular system? | capillaries, veins, arteries, blood, and heart |
| How do the lungs help serve the needs of cells? | getting rid of CO2 |
| What would occur if the respiratory system malfunctioned? | cells would not receive oxygen and energy production would decrease |
| Which type of blood vessel carries blood to the heart? | veins |
| Which parts of the digestive tract does food physically pass through? | mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, rectum |
| In what part of the body does most chemical digestion take place? | small intestine |
