  • Chemical Digestion

  • Mechanical Digestion

  • Peristalsis

  • Excretion

  • Respiration

  • Circulation

  • Gas Exchange

  • Cellular Respiration

New cards
2

Digestion

Breaking down food into smaller components, nutrients, molecules

New cards
3

Absorption

Nutrients passing from the digestive system into the circulatory system.

New cards
4

Peristalsis

waves of muscle contractions that push food through the digestive system

New cards
5

Chemical Digestion

Chemicals called enzymes break food into their building blocks

EX:

-Mouth (saliva)

-Stomach (pepsin, hydrochloric acid)

-Small Intestine (bile, other enzymes from pancreas)

New cards
6

Mechanical Digestion

bites of food are broken down into smaller pieces by tearing or grinding

EX:

-Mouth (chewing)

-Esophagus (peristalsis)

-Stomach (churning)

New cards
7

Excretion

Removes waste by breathing, urine, feces, sweat.

New cards
8

Respiration

inhale O2, exhale, CO2

New cards
9

Cellular Respiration

how cells make NRG

oxygen (602) + glucose (C6H12O6) → ATP NRG + CO2 +H2O

New cards
10

From Digestive System

break down food to get glucose

New cards
11

Circulation

delivers materials to cells to remove waste

New cards
12

Gas Exchange

take CO2 and H2O from blood cells

Oxygen is attached to red blood cells.

New cards
13

Nutrition

  • Carbohydrates

  • Fats

  • Proteins

  • Vitamins

  • Minerals

  • Water

New cards
14

Carbohydrates Types

Simple Carbs- quick NRG; sugar; glucose

Complex Carbs- (starches) long-term NRG

fiber- doesn’t digest; not a nutrient

New cards
15

Why we need carbohydrates

Energy; provide raw material to make cell parts

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen

New cards
16

Fats Types

Saturated- solid fats at room temp; ex: fat in meat

Unsaturated- liquid fats at room temp; ex: cooking oil

Cholesterol- waxy; found in animals; we don’t need because the liver makes it

New cards
17

Why we need fats

Energy; make up cell membrane; control temp; protect organs

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen

New cards
18

Protein Types

Complete- contain all 20 amino acids; ex: meat, fish, eggs

Incomplete- don’t contain all 20 amino acids; ex: plants

New cards
19

Why we need proteins

growth & tissue repair; NRG too;

nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen

New cards
20

Mineral

Nutrient from non-living; plant absorbs mineral in soil from roots; come from plants or animals that eat plants

Carries out chemical process

ex: calcium (bones), iron (red blood cells), magnesium (muscle & nerve)

New cards
21

Water

H2O

regulates temp; remove waste; 65% of body

New cards
22

Vitamin Types

Fat Soluble- dissolved and stored as fat in fatty tissues; ex: vitamins A, D, E K

Water Soluble- dissolved as water; not stored in body; Ex: Vitamin C and B.

New cards
23

Why we need vitamins

Helper molecules in chemical reactions; enzymes; do not provide raw material or NRG

New cards
24

After Digestion


Nutrients are absorbed by the villi in the small intestine.

29

Pancreas

Creates enzymes such as insulin (controls glucose in the blood stream! Woohoo, studying diabetes helped me!)

New cards
30

The Mouth does

  • Chemical Digestion (saliva breaks down starches to sugars)

New cards
31

The Esophagus does


  • Mechanical Digestion (peristalsis)

New cards
32

The Stomach does


  • Mechanical Digestion (churning)

  • Chemical Digestion (pepsin and hydrochloric acid digests proteins into amino acids)

New cards
33

The Small Intestine does


  • Chemical Digestion (bile from liver + other enzymes from the pancreas, which break down carbs, proteins and fats)

  • Absorption of nutrients by villi

New cards
34

The Large Intestine


  • Absorbs water

New cards
35

The Rectum and Anus

New cards
36

Cardiovascular System

  • Heart

  • Artery

  • Capillary

  • Vein

  • White Blood Cells

  • Red Blood Cells

  • Platelet

  • Plasma

New cards
37

Heart

Hollow muscular organ; pumps blood through blood vessels

New cards
38

Artery

Thick-walled; muscular; smooth muscle; carry blood away from the heart to body’s cells; turn into capillaries

New cards
39

Capillary

Thin-walled; tiny vessels where material and waste are exchanged between the blood and body cells; turn into veins

New cards
40

Veins

Large vessels with walls thinner than arteries; same tissue though; carry blood back to heart

New cards
41

Plasma

Liquid part of blood; 90% water; 10% other dissolved material; carry nutrients: glucose, fats, vitamins, and minerals; also carries chemical messengers that direct body activities.

New cards
42

White Blood Cells

Produced in the bone marrow; body disease fighters; some alert; other produce chemical to fight

New cards
43

Red Blood Cells

produced in the bone marrow; carry oxygen

  • Larynx

  • Epiglottis

  • Nose

  • Alveoli

New cards
46

Lungs

Main organ of respiratory system

New cards
47

Diaphragm

At the base of lungs; inhale: contracts and flattens, make chest cavity larger, lower pressure in lungs than air pressure outside cause air to rush into lungs; exhale: opposite happens

New cards
48

Trachea

Windpipe; Cilia sweep mucus made by trachea to the pharynx; cough cause by irritation in trachea

New cards
49

Bronchus

air passages; thin into alveoli

New cards
50

Pharynx

throat; where air & food enter

New cards
51

Larynx

Voice box; top of trachea; 2 vocal chords, folds of connective tissue contract to narrow space.

New cards
52

Epiglottis

thin flap in trachea keep food out

New cards
53

Nose

where air can enter; hairs in nose trap larger particles; cells lining nasal cavities produce mucus to moisten air and trap more particles

New cards
54

Alveoli

tiny; thin walled sacs of lung tissue where gas exchange happens

New cards
55

Excretory system

  • Kidneys

  • Nephron

  • Ureters

  • Urinary Bladder

  • Urethra

  • Liver

  • Lungs

  • Skin

New cards
56

Kidneys

acts as filters; removes urea and other wastes from blood but keep material the body needs

New cards
57

Nephron

tiny filtering factories that remove waste from blood and produce urine in kidney

New cards
58

Ureters

Two narrow tubes where urine from the kidney go to the urinary bladder

New cards
59

Urinary Bladder

muscular sac temporarily stores urine; Nerves detect pressure and signal release

New cards
60

Urethra

small tube where urine leaves the body

New cards
61

Liver

Makes urea from the breakdown of proteins in the body, breaks down many wastes into forms that can be excreted

New cards
62

Lungs

removes water and CO2

New cards
63

Skin

Sweat glands produce perspiration that contains water and small amounts of urea

New cards
64

How does your body excrete waste?

  1. Nephrons in the kidney, remove urea, excess water and other waste from the blood. This urine gets out of the body through the uterus, stored in the urinary bladder, then leave the body through urethra

2) After nutrients and water are absorbed from food; waste is compacted by rectum and leaves through the anus

3) Sweat from skin contains urea and water

4) Circulatory system (blood) bring CO2 and water to lungs where they are exhaled

(gas exchange) in alveoli → bronchus → trachea → mouth

New cards
65

Excretions

  • Saliva

  • Pepsin

  • Hydrochloric acid

  • Bile

  • Urea

  • Mucus

New cards
66

Enzymes

a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body

ex: pepsin, bile, saliva

New cards
67

Saliva

The fluid released by salivary glands when you eat; contains a chemical that can break down starches into sugars.

New cards
68

Mucus

thick and slippery substance produced by the body. Mucus makes food move easily

New cards
69

Pepsin

Chemically digests proteins into short chains of amino acids

New cards
70

strong acid that kills bacteria

New cards
71

Bile

breaks up fat particles

New cards
72
