New cards

Digestive System function

Breakdown food to turn into nutrients

2
New cards

Mouth

Chews and grind up food

3
New cards

Enzymes

Mouth uses to…soften the food

4
New cards

Saliva

Begins chemical breakdown

5
New cards

Esophagus

Connect mouth and stomach

6
New cards

Stomach

Secretes an extraordinary strong acids that leads to breakdown of food

7
New cards

Gastic juice

Acids that stomach secretes

8
New cards

Small intestine

Major absorption

9
New cards

Large intestine

Absorb ls left over nutrients

10
New cards

Liver

Metabolism, bile

11
New cards

Pancreas

Makes enzymes that will neutralize acids

12
New cards

Gall bladder

Stores bile

13
New cards

Insulin and buffer

Enzymes that pancreas makes

14
New cards

Insulin

Regulate blood sugar level

15
New cards

Buffer

Neutralize stomach acid

16
New cards

Rectum

Stores feces

17
New cards

Anus

The door of feces

18
New cards

Circulatory system

Pumps and circulate blood into the body

And delivers oxygen to different part of the body

19
New cards

Heart

Pumps blood

20
New cards

Arteries

Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart

21
New cards

Veins

Carry deoxygenated blood to the heart

22
New cards

Capillaries

Facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients and waste between blood and tissue

23
New cards

Explain the circulatory system

Deoxygenated blood enters right atrium through superior and inferior vena cava.

Blood enters right ventricle through tricuspid valve.

Blood exits right ventricle through pulmonary valve and enters pulmonary artery.

Left and right pulmonary arteries send blood to lungs, where gas exchange occurs.

Oxygenated blood returns to heart via the pulmonary veins → enters left atrium

Blood enters left ventricle through mitral valve.

Blood exits left ventricle through aortic semilunar valve to enter aorta.

Aorta distributes blood to body.

24
New cards

Respiratory System

Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide

25
New cards

Alveoli

Facilitates glass exchange

26
New cards

Diaphragm

Helps in breathing

27
New cards

Duodenum

Receives most of the digestive enzyme, and shortest

28
New cards

Jejunum

Absorbs most of the nutrients

29
New cards

Ileum

Absorbs remaining nutrients

30
New cards

Veins

Returns deoxygenated blood to the heart

31
New cards

Nervous system

Controls and coordinates bodily functions,sensesstimuli, and responds to the environment

32
New cards

Brain

Main organ inside the brain

33
New cards

Cerebrum

The largest and is the “boss” of the brain: it’s in charge of your Actions, Thoughts, memory, Voluntary Movements, Senses, Emotions, and Choices.

34
New cards

Cerebellum

Small but powerful; as it The “coach” of your body as it helps you move properly and is in charge of Balance, Coordination, and Posture

35
New cards

Brain stem

The “life-support machine” of your body, it keeps you alive as it connects the brain to the spinal cord,

it controls very important life functions: Breathing, Heartbeat, Blood pressure, Swallowing, & Digestion.

36
New cards

Spinal cord

- Relays messages between the brain and the body. Controls Reflexes.

37
New cards

Nerves

Transmit information throughout the body

38
New cards

Central Nervous system

The "Control System", consists of

the Brain and spinal cord

39
New cards

Peripheral Nervous system

All the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

40

45
New cards

Skeletal muscle

Enable voluntary movement

46
New cards

Smooth muscle

Controls involuntary actions

47
New cards

Cardiac muscle

Pumps blood

48
New cards

Immune system

A complex network of organs, cells and proteins that defends the body against infection, whilst protecting the body's own cells

49
New cards

Antigen

Triggers the immune system to respond to foreign invaders

50
New cards

Antibody

Binds the specific antigen to neutralize them

51
New cards

Antibiotics

Kills or stop the growth of bacteria

52
New cards

Bone marrow

Found in the center of many bones

53
New cards

Hematopoietic

Produced by bone marrow and mother cells that gives rise to red blood cells

54
New cards

Red blood cells

Carry oxygen

55
New cards

White blood cell

Key immune system

56
New cards

Thymus

Trains and Matures T

Cells and they "learn" the difference between self and non-self

57
New cards

Lymph nodes

They filter lymph fluid for foreign particles. It houses B cells, T

cells, and macrophages; and hen pathogens are detected, immune cells multiply

and create an inflammatory response

58
New cards

Spleen

Filters blood and stores white blood cell

59
New cards
