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

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

  • 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

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

New cards
46
Lungs
Main organ of respiratory system

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

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

tiny; thin walled sacs of lung tissue where gas exchange happens
New cards
55
Excretory system
  • Kidneys

  • Nephron

  • Ureters

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

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

New cards
71
Bile
breaks up fat particles
New cards
72
