The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and takes away wastes

What is the function of the circulatory system?

The respiratory system's main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases

What is the function of the respiratory system?

The function of the digestive system is to digest and absorb food and then excrete the waste products with the help of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum

What is the function of the digestive system?

The function of the excretory system to remove wastes from the body. These wastes include water, CO2, nitrogen, salts, and heat

What is the function of the excretory system?

The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals.

What is the function of the skeletal system?

To produce egg and sperm cells , transport and sustain these cells, nurture the developing offspring, and produce hormones

What is the function of the reproductive system?

Ovary

What is the name of this structure?

Oviducts

What is the name of these structures? (Letter F (both))

What is the name of this structure? (Letter C)

Right atrium

What chamber of the heart is this?

Left atrium

What chamber of the heart is this?

Left ventricle

What chamber of the heart is this?

Right ventricle

What chamber of the heart is this?

Ductus arteriosus

What is the term for this fetal adaptation?

Foramen ovale

What is the term for this fetal adaptation?

To transport (breathe in) oxygen and remove (breathe out) extra carbon dioxide

What is the function of the lungs?

Allow passage of inspired and expired air into and out of the lung

What is the function of the trachea?

Helps you inhale and exhale (breathe in and out)

What is the function of the diaphragm?

Center of your circulation system. It pumps blood around your body as your heart beats

What is the function of the heart?

Controls the level of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets (small cells that form blood clots). It screens the blood and removes any old or damaged red blood cells

What is the function of the spleen?

Carries newly oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood back to the fetus

What is the function of the umbilical vein?

Allows the oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the lungs in utero

What is the function of the ductus arteriosus?

Allows blood to cross the atria and bypass pulmonary circulation during fetal development

What is the function of the foramen ovale?

Takes in food from the esophagus (gullet or food pipe), mixes it, breaks it down, and then passes it on to the small intestine in small portions

What is the function of the stomach?

Break down food, absorb nutrients, extract water, and move food along the gastrointestinal tract

What is the function of the small intestine?

Absorbing water and electrolytes, producing and absorbing vitamins, and forming and propelling feces toward the rectum for elimination

What is the function of the large intestine?

Produces digestive juices and insulin, as well as other hormones to do with digestion

What is the function of the pancreas?

Filters all of the blood in the body and breaks down poisonous substances, such as alcohol and drugs

What is the function of the liver?

Primary function is to store bile

What is the function of the gallbladder?

Remove waste products from the blood and produce urine

What is the function of the kidneys?

Storage and emptying of urine

What is the function of the urinary bladder?

Protects the organs in the thoracic cavity, assists in respiration, and provides support for the upper extremities

What is the function of the ribs?

Protection of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels from physical damage

What is the function of the sternum?

To make sperm and are also involved in producing a hormone called testosterone

What is the function of the testes?

Stores sperm and transports it from the testes

What is the function of the epididymis?

Transports mature sperm to the urethra in preparation for ejaculation

What is the function of the vas deferens?

Produce and store eggs (also called ovum) and make hormones that control the menstrual cycle and pregnancy

What is the function of the ovaries?

Transport male sperm cells to the egg, provide a suitable environment for fertilization, and transport the egg from the ovary

What is the function of the oviducts?

To nourish the developing fetus prior to birth

What is the function of the uterus?

Carry deoxygenated fetal blood toward the placenta for replenishment

What is the function of the umbilical arteries?
