Question
Answer
Temperature   Average energy in a molecule/ how hot or cold something is.  
🗑
Thermal equilibrium   When two objects in contact change temperature to equal to each other.  
🗑
Liquid in glass   Mercury or alcohol in a narrow tube of glass. When warmed it expands up the tube. Specific markings on the side give you the temp. (vice versa)  
🗑
Thermistor Thermometer   A ceramic bead on inside will resist the flow of electric current. As temperature decreases more electricity flows through the bead causing higher readings. A microchip transfers the info to a digital readout. (has to have a battery)  
🗑
Liquid Crystal   Contains crystals that melt and change colors at specific temperature. As crystals reacts and change color the temperature will be known  
🗑
Heat Transfer   Heat is the energy transferred from something of higher temp to something of a lower temp  
🗑
Conduction   Transfer of thermal energy by two objects in contact  
🗑
Convection   Transfer of thermal energy by the movement of fluid (any liquid or gas  
🗑
Radiation   Transfer of thermal energy across a space doesn't require any matter to transfer the energy Radiation does not require any matter to transfer the energy  
🗑
Insulation   Way to limit the of thermal energy Materials that don't easily allow thermal energy to be gained or lost Works for both hot and cold Icicles mean heat loss  
🗑
Heat engines   An engine that uses fuel to make thermal energy do work Heat engines are inefficient which means they use a lot of fuel per the output of heat that they produce. Much of the energy is lost to the surroundings ( parts heat up of to the air )  
🗑
Cold heat engines   Another kind of heat engine is one which makes air cold. Think refrigerators and air conditioners. These machines work in such a way to take heat out of somewhere and put it somewhere else  
🗑
Periosteum   Thin living cover on all bones  
🗑
Compact bone   Hard part of bone it contains minerals calcium and phosphorus  
🗑
Spongy Bone   Found near ends of bone. It is still very hard, but has a sponge like appearance  
🗑
Bone Marrow   Found in hollow areas of bones. A gel like substance  
🗑
Yellow Marrow   Long part of bone, mostly fatty material  
🗑
Red Marrow   In spongy and many flat bones makes new red blood cells, platelets, and most white blood cells  
🗑
Bone development   All bone begins as cartilage (soft flexible material) As you develop most cartilage turns into bone.  
🗑
Rickets   In children. It prevents normal bone growth. Bones become bent  
🗑
Osteoporosis   In elderly. Bone material becomes fragile and breaks easily  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Bone Builder Build now bones and minerals replaces bone material  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Bone destroyers Squirt an acid to dissolve bone to be replaced  
🗑
Joints   Places where two or more bones meet or are joined together Cartilage provides cushioning Ligament connects the bones together  
🗑
Hinge Joint   A hinge joint is a common class of joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints. HInge joints are formed between 2 or more bones  
🗑
Pivot Joint   Allows rotation one bone beside another lower arm and base of cranium and vertebrae  
🗑
Immovable   Sternum to ribs Cranium  
🗑
Ball and socket   Shoulder Hip / Groin  
🗑
Gliding   Vertebrae  
🗑
Sprain   Twisting or stretching or a ligament past the amount you are supposed to do  
🗑
Tear   When a ligament is completely or partially off of the bone  
🗑
Nervous System   Body system that sends messages to the brain and back out again to all parts of the body  
🗑
Central Nervous System   Brain and Spinal Cord  
🗑
Peripheral Nervous System   All of the sensory (senses) and motor (movements) nerves in the body.  
🗑
Stimuli   Signals from your body ( inside or outside ) Smells, sounds, sights, etc.  
🗑
Response   Reaction to the stimulus ( sent back by the brain ) The reaction could be absolutely nothing or could be to remember it or it could a movement or anything  
🗑
Cerebrum   Top of the brain, gray matter Handles thinking, senses, muscle movements Divided into left and right hemispheres  
🗑
Right side of Brain   Creative Artistic  
🗑
Left side of Brain   Logical Mathematical  
🗑
Cerebellum   Complex muscle actions with cerebrum (coordination and balance) E. G. riding a bike, sports, video games  
🗑
Medulla Oblongata   Brain stem Handles involuntary actions Keeps us alive Heartbeat Digestion Breathing Blinking Survival instincts Reflexes Fight of flight  
🗑
Reflexes   Different from normal neuron pathways in that they do not need to travel all the way to the cerebrum A reflex arc will take a message to the medulla oblongata or the spinal cord so it is handled faster or without you having to think about it  
🗑
Headache   Pain that can be caused by a number of factors. Usually only a worry if headache are recurring and severe ( migraines ) 10% of people experience these Sinus Cluster ( near eye ) Tension ( forehead ) Migraine ( half of head )  
🗑
Concussion   Closed head injury. From a fall or a blow to the head Brain is thrown against cranium Symptoms Usually clears in 3 to 5 days, but multiple concussions can build up and cause major problems  
🗑
Parkinsons   Disease where person loses body control Speaking Walking Daily tasks Early signs include tremors in the hands while at rest Will progressively get worse, no cure 1 in 200 people usually over 60 years  
🗑
Stroke   Caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain Blood clot or aneurysm ( burst blood vessel ) Usually people over 60 years old Can be massive or slight One third die One third disabled One third recover  
🗑
Tumors   Growth or cuts on or in the brain Can be cancerous or not Shows up in CAT scan May or may not cause problems. Depends on where they are  
🗑
Hemiplegic   Brain injury, usually a stroke Person shows paralysis in half of their body (left or right)  
🗑
Paraplegic   Spinal injury in lower back. Causes paralysis in lower parts of the body ( legs )  
🗑
Quadriplegic   Spinal injury in upper back or neck causes paralysis in all four limbs ( arms and legs )  
🗑
Cell   Basic unit of all living things  
🗑
Alive   It has to GROW It has to reproduce It has to use food for energy It has to respond to changes in its environment  
🗑


   

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.
