My Human Body Systems booklet

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
delivers oxygen and removes waste throughout the body   red blood cells  
🗑
helps the body defend against infectious diseases as part of the immune system   white blood cells  
🗑
carries information from one area of the body to another area through electrical impulses   nerve cells  
🗑
serves in the processes of bone formation and bone decay   bone cells  
🗑
this type of muscle can be found within the walls of organs: lungs, stomach, heart, esophagus, intestines, etc.   involuntary muscle cells  
🗑
responsible for making the organs work; these muscles work without you having to do anything   involuntary muscle cells  
🗑
responsible for movement and posture; you must consciously decide to use these muscles   voluntary muscle cells  
🗑
the cells that make up the outer covering of the body   skin cells  
🗑
protects our bodies   skin cells  
🗑
this organ is, pinkish, squishy, and spongy ; located in the head   brain  
🗑
this organ interprets what you are tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing, thinking, dreaming, breathing, and etc.   brain  
🗑
these are thin threads that conduct electrical impulses throughout the body   nerves (nerve cells)  
🗑
sends electrical impulses to the brain and spinal cord when you are moving, running, sleeping, laughing, singing, remembering, etc   nerves  
🗑
the________ ________ is a thick cord of nerves that runs through the spine   spinal cord  
🗑
receives neural signals and sends messages to the brain and the rest of the body to do things   spinal cord  
🗑
made up of your brain, spinal cord, and an enormous network of nerves   nervous system  
🗑
the bones and joints make up this system which allows you to stand and move   skeletal system  
🗑
bones make this up; can be found throughout the entire body; function is movement and support of the body   skeleton  
🗑
this protective tissue makes up the nose and ears   cartilage  
🗑
connecting point between two bones   joints  
🗑
allows parts of the body to move and bend (ex. in the wrists and ankles)   joints  
🗑
organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles   muscular system  
🗑
also known as skeletal muscle; we control the contractions of these muscles   voluntary  
🗑
although we consciously control these muscles, we may also control them on a subconscious level (ex. diaphragm)   voluntary  
🗑
this type of muscle can be found in your heart and lungs; it is controlled subconsciously   involuntary  
🗑
the type of muscles that helps pump blood and digest food   involuntary  
🗑
the system that contains the heart, arteries, and veins that pump blood throughout the body   circulatory system  
🗑
the ________ is a muscular organ in both humans and animals that pumps blood   heart  
🗑
pumps blood throughout your body   heart  
🗑
bright red vessels throughout the whole body   arteries  
🗑
_______ carry oxygen, rich blood throughout your body and allows you to feed your pulse   arteries  
🗑
blue vessels throughout the body   veins  
🗑
______ carry oxygen, poor blood back to the heart   veins  
🗑
responsible for body movement   muscle tissue  
🗑
_________ _________ consists of involuntary muscle cells(organs);voluntary muscle cells(to move the skeleton)   muscular tissue  
🗑
the tissue of the blood and bones   connective tissue  
🗑
___________ ___________consists of bone cells; red blood cells and white blood cells   connective tissue  
🗑
transmits messages throughout the body from the brain through the spinal cord; consists of nerve cells   nervous tissue  
🗑
the tissue of the skin, outer coverings. and the lining of the organs; example: skin cells   epithelial tissue  
🗑
formed by tissues working together; organs in an animals body perform major functions that keep the animals alive(ex. heart, kidney, liver); organs working together creates systems   organs  
🗑
transports oxygen nutrients, and wastes through the body in the blood; major parts: heart and blood   circulatory system  
🗑
the process of breathing which enables your cells to get oxygen; contains lungs, nose, and trachea (windpipe)   respiratory system  
🗑
organization of your bones to provide support for your body and protect many of your internal organs; major parts are bones, tendons(attach muscles to bones), ligaments(attach bones to bones), cartilage(connective tissue) (ex. tip of nose and tips)   skeletal system  
🗑
moves bones and holds your skeleton upright; major parts muscles(voluntary) tendons(attach bones to muscles)   muscular system  
🗑
provides nutrients to your cells so they can produce energy; major parts: mouth/saliva, esophagus: tube that leads to stomach, small and large intestines, stomach, liver and pancreas: provides liquids that breaks down foods and neutralize acid   digestive system  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
