| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does the right atrium do? | Takes the deoxygenated blood entering the heart and transfers it to the right ventricle |
| What does the right ventricle do? | Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs. |
| What does the left atrium do? | Oxygenated blood goes from the lungs and enters the left atrium, which then transports down to the left ventricle. |
| What does the left ventricle do? | Pumps to the body to give cells oxygen and then travels back to the right atrium. |
| What do red blood cells do? | Carries oxygen, nutrient, and waste. |
| What do white blood cells do? | Fights diseases and protects from infections. |
| What do platelets do? | Gathers at injuries and helps the clotting process. |
| What is plasma? | Straw colored liquid where the other components float in. |
| What do arteries do? | Carry blood away from the heart |
| What do capillaries do? | Help exchange substances between blood and tissues. |
| What do veins do? | Carries blood back towards the heart. |
| What are the 3 types of veins? | Arteries, Capillaries, Veins, |
| What are the 4 parts of blood? | Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Plasma, |
| What are the 4 chambers in the heart? | Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle, |
| What do Lymph Nodes do? | Filter foreign substances. |
| What does Bone Marrow do? | Produces blood. |
| What does the Thymus do? | Trains T-Cells. |
| What does the Spleen do? | Filters blood by removing cell waste and getting rid of old/damaged blood cells. |
| What do Killer T-Cells do? | Directly attacks and destroys virus-infected cells. |
| What do Helper T-Cells do? | Identifies infected cells and such, then notifies killer T-Cells to attack and B-Cells to make antibodies |
| What do B-Cells do? | Creates antibodies |
| What are all T and B-Cells? | White Blood Cells |
| What is Chemical Digestion? | Digestion where you break down or change the chemical composition of food into a new substance. (A Chemical Change) |
| What is Mechanical Digestion? | Digestion that only affects the physical form of food, not changing the chemical composition. (A Physical Change) |
| What does the Esophagus do? | Move food from mouth to stomach. |
| What does the Stomach do? | Digests food with acid and enzymes. |
| What does the Liver do? | Filters toxins and makes Bile. |
| What does the Gallbladder do? | Stores Bile and uses it to break down fatty foods |
| What does the Pancreas do? | Regulates blood sugar with insulin or glucagon. |
| What does the Large Intestine do? | Absorb water and vitamins for the body and forms feces and propels it to the rectum for it to be expelled from the body. |
| What do the Kidneys do? | Cleanses the bloodstream by separating waste aka urine. |
| What is the purpose of the Ureters? | Tubes that urine travels through to the bladder. |
| What does the Bladder do? | Stores urine until it is expelled from the body. |
| What is the Urethra's Function? | Tube urine travels through to leave the body. |
| Epidermis | Strong Protective Covering |
| Dermis | Contains Blood Vessels, Sweat Glands, Oil Glands, and Hair Follicles |
| Hypodermis(Subcutaneous Fat) | Insulates body, stores fuel, and provides cushion for skin |
| Hair Follicles | Protects skin, regulates body temperature, and helps with nerve sensing functions |
| Oil Glands | Makes skin waterproof and prevents the skin from dryness |
| Sweat Glands | Regulates body temperature and prevents skin from dryness |
| Pores | Allows passage of gas and fluid through the surface of the skin |
| Blood Vessels | Delivers blood to organs and tissues in the body |
| Nerves | Allows you to interact and react to your surroundings |
| Skin | Protects from pathogens/bacteria, serves as a protective layer for organs, and regulates body temperature. |
| Hypothalamus | Controls the entire endocrine system |
| Pituitary | Controls growth/development hormones |
| Pineal | Controls melatonin (sleep patterns) |
| Thyroid | Controls metabolism (digestion) |
| Pancreas | Controls blood sugar (insulin and glucagon) |
| Adrenal | Produces adrenaline (fight or flight) |
| Central Nervous System | Brain and Spine |
| Spinal Cord | Allows your brain to communicate with the rest of the body |
| Brain | Receives impulses from the body (nerves) |
| Peripheral Nervous System | The nerves |
| What is the Male Reproductive Cell? | Sperm |
| Where is the Male Reproductive Cell made? | Testes |
| What is the Female Reproductive Cell? | Egg |

| What is the Epididymis? | Where the Male Reproductive Cell is stored. |
| What is the Vas Deferens? | A tube where the Male Reproductive Cell leaves the Epididymis and mixes with several other fluids from other glands. |
| What is the Urethra? | Where the Male Reproductive cell along with other fluids leave the body. |
| What is the Uterus? | The organ where the fertilized egg develops into a baby. |
| Skeletal Muscles | Muscles attached to the bone that aid in movement |
| Smooth Muscles | Muscles in the stomach and intestines that aid in digestion |
| Cardiac Muscles | Muscles in the heart that aid in the heart beating |
| Cartilage | Cushion for where bones come together |
| Tendons | Connective tissue connecting muscle to bone |
| Ligaments | Connective tissue connecting bone to bone |
| Bone Marrow | Forms blood cells |
| Joints | Where 2 or more bones come together, allowing movement |
| Aids movement in the body, which system? | Musculoskeletal |
