BJHS Unit 2 Review
Homeostasis, Human Body Systems
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cells | Basic unit of Life |
| Tissue | Groups of cells working together to perform a specific job |
| Organs | Several types of tissues working together to perform a job |
| Organ Systems | Groups of body parts working together to perform a major life-function |
| Organism | A living thing |
| Homestasis | Balance - maintaining a constant, stable internal body state in a constantly changing environment |
| Internal Stimuli | Come from inside the body such as hunger or thirst |
| External Stimuli | Come from outside the body such as temperature or threats |
| Fever | the bodies response to an infection. |
| Why does the body get a fever? | Higher internal temps slow the growth of bacteria |
| What causes vomiting in humans? | infection, too much water, dizziness, etc. |
| What is a force? | A push or a pull |
| What is peristalsis? | The muscle contractions that push food through the digestive system |
| How does peristalsis work in digestion? | Swallowing pushes food down the esophagus. Colon pushes food out of the body. |
| How does peristalsis work in circulation? | Blood is pushed away from the heart through blood vessels. |
| What is an example of a physical change in digestion? | Chewing, stomach muscles squeezing food |
| What is a physical change? | Mechanically breaking down food into smaller pieces |
| What is a chemical change? | Breaking down of food using a chemical substance. |
| What is an example of a chemical change in digestion? | Dissolving food with saliva; digestive acids breaking down food. |
| What body system is like the Cell wall? | Integumentary system - both protect the outside of the organism |
| What body system is like the Nucleus? | Nervous system - both act as control center |
| What body system is like the Mitochondria? | Digestive system - both convert food into energy |
| What body system is like the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Circulatory System - both move material around the organism like roads |
| What body system is like the lysosomes? | Excretory system - both remove waste |
| What is the structure of the Circulatory System? | Heart, veins, Arteries, blood |
| What is the function of the Circulatory system? | Delivers blood to the body |
| What is the function of the Endocrine system? | Hormones are released by glands to control body functions. |
| What is the structure of the Endocrine system? | Glands and Hormones |
| What is the function of the Integumentary system? | Protects the inside of the body, produces Vitamin D |
| What is the structure of the Integumentary system? | Skin, hair, nails and sweat glands |
| What is the function of the Excretory system? | Produce, store and eliminate liquid waste from the body |
| What is the structure of the Excretory system? | Kidney, Bladder, Urethra |
| What is the function of the Respiratory system? | Takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. |
| What is the structure of the Respiratory system? | Lungs, Alveoli, Trachea, and Diaphragm |
| What is the function of the Digestive system? | Breaks down food into small pieces to be used by our cells to make energy |
| What is the structure of the Digestive system? | Mouth, Espophagus, Stomach, Small Intestines, Large Intestines, Anus |
| What is the function of the Nervous system? | Control center, responsible for the 5 sense and communication |
| What is the structure of the Nervous system? | Brain, Nerves, Eyes |
| What is the function of the Reproductive system? | Pass genetic information to the next generation |
| What is the structure of the Reproductive system in males? | Penis, Testes |
| What is the structure of the Reproductive system in females? | Ovaries, Uterus, Vagina |
| What is the function of the Muscular system? | Allows the body to move |
| What is the structure of the Muscular system? | Muscles and tendons |
| What is the function of the Skeletal system? | Protects internal organs and gives the body structure and shape |
| What is the structure of the Skeletal system? | Bones, Cartilage, Ligaments |
