Organelles

A specialized part of a cell that has a specific function

What is a purpose of organelle

To perform basic functions such as energy processing and waste excretion

What is an example of an organelles

Ribosomes


Golgi apparatus


Mitochondria


Nucleus

What is Ribosomes

Carry out protein synthesis

What is the Golgi Apparatus

Modifies and packages proteins secreted from a cell

What is mitochondria

It converts energy present in chemical bonds of food accessible to the cell

What is nucleus

Stores and processes instructions contained in the DNA that tell the cells what its functions are

What is a cell

The smallest living unit of life


Basic structure unit of an organism from which living things are created

Organs

Structures that are composed of several types of tissues and perform one or more functions

Kidney

Processes blood to remove waste and to retain electrolytes and water

Tissue

A group of cells with similar structure that function together as a unit but a lower level than organs

What are organ systems

They are functional units composed of several organs


Functions: digestion of food, circulation of nutrients, removal of waste, and reproduction

What does the circulatory system consist of

The heart and blood vessels

What does the respiratory system consist of

Lungs, airways, certain muscles, and some of the same blood vessels found in the circulatory system. The 2 systems coordinate with each other to provide nutrients (good&oxygen)and remove waste (co2)

What does Excretory system consist of

Kidneys, parts of the digestive system and the lungs


Also remove wastes

Which organ is involved in synthesis of RBC in an adult

Bone Marrow

What is the Respiratory systems main functions

Respiratory system mediates the uptake of oxygen for metabolism and the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Ventilation

Process of aerating the lungs

How does the respiratory system work

Air enters the nasal openings or the mouth into the trachea, which carries it through a system of branching tubes called bronchi and bronchioles to two lungs located on either side of the heart.

Where does gas exchange in the lungs occur

Occurs by diffusion , which is a passive transport mechanism

Lungs are perfumes by blood that flows in blood vessels from the heart to bring ....

Deoxygenated blood rich in co2 to the lungs

The lungs is where Oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is removed to return ........ blood to the heart for circulation to the rest of the body

Oxygenated

Oxygen in the lungs moves into the .....

Blood

Carbon dioxide in the blood moves into the ......

Lungs


The lungs then exhale the co2 back into the atmosphere

What is the amount of air breathes in and out of the lungs called ?

Tidal volume

The breathing control centers of the medulla oblongata of the brainstem control respiration through ......

Monitoring carbon dioxide levels and blood PH

Alveoli

Tiny air sacs in the lungs where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place

Bronchi

The main passageways directly attached to the lungs

Bronchioles

Small passages in the lungs that connect the bronchi to the alveoli

Perfusion

The passage of fluid to an organ or tissue

Pleura

Membrane around the lungs and inside the chest cavity

Surfactant

A fluid secreted by alveoli and found in the lungs

Trachea

The windpipe, which connects the larynx to the lungs

What describes a property of cardiac cells

Generation of electrical impulses

Which blood component would be expected to increase following vaccinations

Antibodies

Arteries

Blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to other parts of the body

Vein

Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart

Systole

The portion of the cardiac cycle in which the heart expels blood

Distole

The portion of the cardiac cycle in which the heart refills with blood

Capillary

Small blood vessels that connect arterioles to the venules

Heart

The muscle that pumps blood throughout the body

What are the 3 main secretions of the stomach

Pepsinogen(chief cells)


Mucus(goblet cells)


Hydrochloric acid (parietal Cell’s)

Anus

Opening of the rectum from which solid waste is expelled

Bolus

Mass of food that has been chewed and swallowed

Chyme

Semi fluid mass of partly digested food that moves from the stomach to the small intestine

Gallbladder

The organ that stores bile

Large intestine

Known as the colon, where vitamins and water are absorbed before feces is stored prior to elimination

Liver

Organ that produces bile, regulates glycogen storage, and performs other bodily functions

Pancreas

Gland of the digestive and endocrine system that produces insulin and secretes pancreatic juices

Rectum

Last section of the large intestine, ending with the anus

Small intestine

Part of the G.I Tracy between the stomach and large intestine that includes the duodenum,jejunum,and ileum
