PHARYNX? | a muscle that moves food and drink from the mouth to the esophagus |
ESOPHAGUS? | a muscle that pushes food and drink to the stomach |
STOMACH? | a 'container' to start digestion and move food and drink to the intestine in a controlled way |
PANCREAS? | creates enzymes and digestive juices |
SMALL INTESTINE? | where 90% of digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs |
ANUS? | an opening at the end of the digestive system where waste leaves the body |
RECTUM? | the last straight section of the large intestine used to store waste before leaving |
LARGE INTESTINE? | absorbs liquid from the indigestible food and gets rid of waste |
GALLBLADDER? | stores bile needed to digest food |
LIVER? | filters blood coming through the digestive system then passes it to the rest of the body. also dioxides chemicals and drugs |
ENZYMES? | a substance that is used as a catalyst and help make reactions happen within the body |
MOUTH? (respiratory system) | where air is inhaled and exhaled into the body |
NASAL CAVITY? | two holes that supply air to the body and get rid of the waste air. |
TRACHEA? | a large membranous tube surrounded by rings of cartilage, traveling from the mouth to the lungs |
BRONCHI? | major air passages in the lungs |
LUNGS? | two sacks inside the rib cage where air goes as it is transferred to the blood. |
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA? | large veins that carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the head, arms and upper body |
INFERIOR VENA CAVA? | large veins that carries oxygenated blood to the heart from the lower body |
CAPILLARIES? | small branching blood vessels that carry blood between the arterioles and venules. there are capillaries of the left lung, capillaries of the right lung, capillaries of the arms and head and capillaries of the lower organs and legs |
AORTA? | the main artery of the body that carries oxygenated blood around the circuitry system. it passes over the heart and down the front of the backbone |
PULMONARY VEIN? | a vein that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. |
PULMONARY ARTERY? | an artery that carries blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated |
ARTERIES? | a tube which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body |
VEINS? | a tube which carries de-oxygenated blood from the body to the heart to be pumped to the lungs |
HEART? | a muscular organ that pumps blood around the body. it has two chambers; left and right |
PARTS OF THE HEART? | right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle |
RIGHT ATRIUM? | receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle |
RIGHT VENTRICLE? | pumps de-oxygenated blood to the lungs to be re-oxygenated |
LEFT ATRIUM? | receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle |
LEFT VENTRICLE? | pumps the oxygenated blood to the body |
which chamber of the heart in BIGGER and WHY? | left, because it must pump blood around the whole body |
