| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where are smooth muscles found | Within the walls of your blood vessels, stomach and intestines |
| Where are cardiac muscles found | In the heart |
| what type of muscle is voluntary | skeletal |
| what pairs do muscles work in | flexors and extensors |
| what do tendons do | attach muscle to bone |
| what does the muscular system do | helps with body movement, posture and producing heat |
| what does the urinary system do | cleans waste products from blood In the form of urine |
| what do the kidneys do | cleans blood (results in urine) |
| what are nephrons | filters in kidneys |
| what does the bladder do | stores urin |
| what does the respiratory system do | exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between air and blood |
| breathing | mechanical process of taking air in and out of the body |
| respiration | chemical process of that uses oxygen to get energy from food |
| what are lungs | Elastic sacs with branching passages into which air is drawn, so that oxygen can pass into the blood and carbon dioxide be removed. |
| what is the diaphragm | The diaphragm is a dome-shaped sheet of muscle and tendon that contracts and expands to create a vacuum that pulls in or pushes out air |
| what do bronchioles do | they send oxygen to the lungs and allow carbon dioxide to exit the lungs. The bronchi are a part of the respiratory tract that act as an extension of the windpipe. |
| what do the alveolis do | 600-700 million tiny air sacs in lungs surrounded by blood vessels |
| what does the digestive system do | breaks down food and converts it to energy. absorbs nutrients, and eliminates solid waste |
| what does your esophagus do | The esophagus is a fibromuscular tube that passes food from the pharynx to the stomach |
| what does your liver do | detoxifies, metabolites, synthesizes proteins, produces biochemicals necessary for digestion and produces bile |
| what does your gallbladder do | holds a fluid called bile. |
| what does the pancreas do | Enzymes, or digestive juices, are secreted by the pancreas and regulates the body's glucose or blood sugar level. |
| what do the small and large intestines do | Its job is to absorb most of the nutrients from what we eat and drink |
| what does your endocrine system do | secretes hormones into blood to help regulate a variety of things |
| pituitary gland | (Master) =growth hormone |
| which gland produces the sleep hormone | pineal |
| what does your thyroid gland do | regulates metabolism |
| estrogen is produced by_____ | the ovaries |
| what does the lymphatic system do | protects and cleans blood and provides immunity |
| what are lymph nodes | locations in the body where pathogens are filtered out |
| what are pathogens | things like, bacteria, viruses fungi and parasites |
| what are antigens | pieces of destroyed pathogen that alert white blood cells of danger |
| what are antibodies | proteins manufactured by the body that help fight against foreign substances called antigens |
| what does the integumentary system | protects tissue against pathogens, regulates temperature, excretes water and salt |
| what does skin do | largest organ, keeps internal organs and blood in, keeps pathogens out. |
| what does the epidermis layer of skin do | The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. |
| what is melanin | chemical that gives us our skin color |
| what does the nervous system do | communicates to the environment via five senses. controls all other body systems |
| what does the cerebrum do | It is responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functions and the initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body. |
| what does the cerebellum do | The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity. |
| what does the brain stem do | The brain stem controls the flow of messages between the brain and the rest of the body, and it also controls basic body functions such as breathing, swallowing, heart rate, blood pressure, consciousness, and whether one is awake or sleepy. |
| what does the dermis layer of skin do | The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. |
| what does the hypodermis layer of skin do | The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.Aug 25, 2017 |
