QuestionAnswer
Alveoli (Function and Location) Function-where gas exchange occurs Location- end of bronchioles (deepest part of lungs)
list the flow of O2 Trachea-> Bronchi -> Lung-> Bronchioles -> alveoli -> Blood
Lungs (Function and Location) Function: Houses the respiratory system Location: Right and left side of chest
Trachea (Function and Location) Function: Windpipe. Carries O2 to the bronchi and lungs Location: In throat
Nasal Cavity (Function and Location) Function: Brings air from nose to trachea Location: Behind nose
Bronchial Tubes (Bronchi and Bronchioles) Bronchi- Branch from trachea, outside of lungs Bronchioles- Branch from bronchi in the lungs ` Location: Branches of trachea into lungs
Larynx (Function and Location) Function-Voice box; hold vocal chords Location-Above trachea
Diaphragm (Function and Location) Function- Muscles that move the lungs (inhale and exhale) Location- Below- the lungs
What are 3 diseases caused by smoking? Chronic bronchitis, Emphysema, and Lung Cancer
What is Chronic bronchitis? Bronchi inflamed and clogged by mucus
What is Emphysema? Loss of elasticity in lungs and the eventual break down on lung tissue
What is Lung Cancer? Over production of lung cells
Liver (Function) Function: Conversion of potentially dangerous nitrogen wastes into a less toxic urea
Lungs (Function) Function: Blood transports CO2 from body cells to lungs when you exhale. Lungs excrete CO2 and water vapor.
Kidneys (Function) Function: Removes excess water, urea, and metabolic wastes from blood and produces and excretes urine
Uterers (Function) Function: Transports urine from kidneys to bladder
Bladder (Function) Function: Where urine is stored
Urethra (Function) Function: Where urine is released out of your body
Nervous System Purpose: Regulate bodily functions and processes and relays information. Movement, learning, body temperature, hunger, thirst, balance, reflexes, and reactions, heart rate, breathing.
Spinal Cord (Function) Function: Connects all body parts to brain
Brain (cerebrum) (Function) Function: Largest part of the brain. Responsible for voluntary or conscious activities. Intelligence, learning, judgement, thinking and memory
Brain (cerebellum) (Function) Function: Muscle and joint position. Sensory input and coordination. Balance and posture
Brain Stem (Function) Function: Connects brain and spinal cord. Swallowing, heart rate, breathing, life sustaining activities
What is Systemic circulation? Longest part of circulation. Taking oxygenated blood to the different parts of the body and returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
What is the hearts blood flow? Vena Cava-> R. atrium -> Tricuspid valve -> R. ventricle -> pulmonary valve -> pulmonary artery -> lungs -> pulmonary vein -> L. atrium -> mitral valve -> L. ventricle -> aortic valve -> aorta
Cardiovascular System Purpose: Brings O2 to the body and tissues. Removes waste from the body and tissues (CO2)
Heart (Function) Pumps blood
Arteries (Function) Carries oxygen rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. Pulmonary artery is the only artery to carry oxygen poor blood
Capillaries (Function) Where oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood is exchanged. Where arteries and veins meet
Arterioles (Function) Connects arteries to capillaries
Veins (Function) Carries oxygen poor blood from the body back to the heart. Pulmonary veins are the only veins that carry oxygen rich blood
Venules (Function) Connects veins to capillaries
Blood (Function) Carries oxygen to the body and CO2 back to the lungs
Most nutrient absorption occurs here Small intestines
Stores bile gallbladder
produces bile liver
carbohydrate digestion begins here mouth (amylase)
Protein digestion begins here stomach (pepsin)
Protein digestion is completed here small intestines
Most water absorption occurs here Large intestines
No digestion occurs here, only propulsion Esophagus (peristalsis)
Food is physically mixed and churned here stomach
Fat digestion occurs here small intestines
Secret enzymes into the duodenum that complete digestion pancreas and gallbladder
Esophagus (Function and location) Function: Carries food from mouth to stomach - peristalsis Location: No digestion
Mouth (Function and location) Function: Where digestion starts- chemical- amylase breaks down carbs; Mechanical-chewing Location: Chemcial and Mechanical digestion
Pancreas 1. Produces hormones that regulates blood sugar 2. Makes enzymes to break down carbs, proteins, fats, & nucleic acids 3. Makes sodium bicarbonate- neutralizes stomach acid -Most Chemical digestion and absorption of food and nutrients happens here
Small Intestines 3 parts: -Duodenum- first part connected to stomach. Digestive juices enter -Jejunum- Middle part. Sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids absorbed here -Ileum- Last part, connected to the large intestines. Vitamin abortion happens -Chemical digestion
Gallbladder (Function and location) Function: Store bile Location: Behind Liver-attached to the liver
Stomach (Function and location) Chemical- pepsin breaks down protein Mechanical- Stomach contacts and moves Location- Chemical and mechanical digestion -Break down of food happens here
Liver (Function and location) Function: Makes bile- bile digests the fats we eat Location: Chemical digestion
Pharynx (Function and location) Function: Connects nasal and mouth cavities Location: In throat
