Question
Answer
What is the movement of the chest that brings air into the lungs and removes waste gases?   Breathing  
🗑
What uses oxygen to break down glucose and release energy?   Respiration  
🗑
What branches off from pharynx; air enters here; contains vocal cords?   Larynx  
🗑
This is after larynx; long tube that contains cartilage to prevent it from collapsing   Trachea  
🗑
These are tiny sacs at end of bronchioles   Alveoli  
🗑
This is where O2 and CO2 are exchanged takes place, makes up lungs   Alveoli  
🗑
This is a muscle beneath your lungs that contracts and relaxes to move gases into and out of lungs   Diaphragm  
🗑
This is when you breathe in(inhale) the diaphragm contracts and move downward; this allows lungs to take in more O2   Inhale  
🗑
This is when you breathe out (exhale) the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward; this allows the lungs to release CO2   Exhale  
🗑
Alveoli enlarge and an enzyme causes them to breakdown; O2 gas and CO2 gas cannot be exchanged; heart has to work harder to pump O2 to body; body become low in O2and high in CO2   Emphysema  
🗑
This is the process of removing wastes and excess products from the body   Excretion  
🗑
3 ways excretion can happen in the body   1)sweating 2)Lungs release CO2 and H2O when you exhale 3) Urinary system removes waste from the blood  
🗑
This cleans blood   Kidneys  
🗑
This is a filter in the kidneys that removes harmful substances; such as urea   Nephron  
🗑
This contains nitrogen and is formed when cells break down proteins   Urea  
🗑
When blood enters the kidneys waste forced out of blood into kidneys. Water and nutrients move back into blood. Concentrated mixture of waste materials is left behind in nephron   Step 1 of Filtering Blood  
🗑
This is when the urine goes to urinary bladder where it is stored   Step 2 of Filtering Blood  
🗑
This is the yellow fluid that remains in the nephrons   Urine  
🗑
This is urination(process of expelling urine from the body)   Step 3 of Filtering Blood  
🗑
Thirst causes the body to:   Get hot, sweat and water on skins cools you  
🗑
Thirst causes body to:   Decreases water in blood so salivary glands produce less saliva  
🗑
This is when you get thirsty the body conserves water by releasing ADH which has the kidneys take water back from the nephrons and return it to the blood. Thus less urine causes kidneys to make more urine   Diuretic  
🗑
This decreases amount of water in blood so you become dehydrated. Example is caffeine   Diuretic  
🗑
   
🗑
