Q

What is the Muscular System and what organs does it use?

A

primary function is to move the body by attaching to bones.

It also makes up organs like the HEART,
DISGESTIVE ORGANS and BLOOD VESSELS

Q

What is the Cardiovascular/Circulatory System?

A

The cardiovascular system (also called the circulatory system) is like the body’s transportation network. It moves blood around to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and takes away waste like carbon dioxide.

Q

What is the Nervous System and what is the organs does it use?

A

The nervous system includes the BRAIN, SPINAL CORD, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends messages back and forth between the brain and the body. The BRAIN is what controls all the body’s functions.

Q

What organs does the Cardiovascular/Circulatory System use?

A
  1. HEART: A powerful muscle that pumps blood.
  2. BLOOD VESSELS: These are like roads or pipes that carry blood:
  3. ARTEIES: Carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body.
  4. VEINS: Bring oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
  5. CAPILLARIES: Tiny vessels where oxygen and nutrients move from the blood to cells.

Q

What is the Excretory/Urinary
System?

A

The excretory system (also called the urinary system) helps the body get rid of waste and extra water. It acts like the body’s cleaning system, making sure harmful things don’t build up inside.

Q

What does the respiratory system do? What is it?

A

  2. TRACHEA (windpipe): A tube that carries air from the nose/mouth to the lungs.
  3. BRONCHI: Two large tubes that branch off the trachea and lead into the lungs.
  4. LUNGS: The main organs where oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide is released.
  5. ALVEOLI: Tiny air sacs in the lungs where the oxygen and carbon dioxide swap places with the blood.
  6. DIAPHRAGM: A muscle under the lungs that helps you breathe in and out.

Q

What does the Digestive
System do? What is it?

A

The digestive system helps your body BREAKS DOWN FOOD into smaller pieces so you can get the energy and nutrients you need. It also gets rid of waste from food your body doesn’t use.

  2. ESOPHAGUS: A tube that moves food from the mouth to the stomach.
  3. STOMACH: A sack that mixes food with acids and enzymes to break it down further.
  4. SMALL INTESTINE: A long tube where most nutrients from food are absorbed into the blood.
  5. LIVER: Helps by producing bile (a fluid that breaks down fats) and filtering toxins.
  6. GALLBLADDER: Stores bile and releases it when needed.
    Pancreas: Makes enzymes that help digest food in the small intestine.
  7. LARGE INETSINE: Absorbs water and forms waste into solid poop.

Q

What is the Immune/Lymphatic
System?

A

The immune/lymphatic system works together to protect your body from germs, infections, and diseases. It’s like your body’s defense army that fights off anything harmful.

Q

What organs does the Immune/Lymphatic
System use?

A

  2. Lymph Vessels: Tubes that carry lymph fluid throughout the body.
  3. Spleen: An organ that filters the blood, removes old or damaged blood cells, and helps fight infections.
  4. Thymus: A small organ where certain immune cells (T-cells) grow and learn to fight germs.
  5. Tonsils and Adenoids: Help trap germs that enter through the mouth or nose.
  6. Bone Marrow: A spongy material inside bones where blood cells (including immune cells) are made.
  7. White Blood Cells: Special cells that travel through your blood and attack germs and infections.

A

Over 600 muscles in total

41
Q

How does the Muscular System interact with the skeletal?

A

Skeletal muscles pull on bones to allow movement and to maintain posture. Tendons connect muscle to bone.

42
Q

How does the Muscular System interact with the Respiratory system?

A

The diaphragm, smooth muscles, help regulate breathing rate

Q

How does the Muscular System interact with Circulatory/Cardiovascular system?

A

The cardia muscle makes up the heart, which is the pump that keeps blood flowing throughout the body

44
Q

How does the Muscular System interact with Digestive system

A

Smooth muscles are found in esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and rectum. These muscles help keep food and waste moving through this system

45
Q

How does the Muscular System interact with the Excretory system?

A

Smooth muscles line the bladder and the rectum which allows us to control when waste is eliminated

49
Q

What does the word Involuntary mean?

A

Muscles which you do not have control consciously

Carries material through the body using blood

51
Q

What is the Circulatory organs?

A

Heart
Arty
Vein
Capillary

52
Q

How does the Circulatory system interact with the Respiratory system?

A

Blood takes oxygen from the lungs to the cells in all other systems: brings carbon dioxide to the lungs so it can be removed from the body

53
Q

How does the Circulatory system interact with Digestive system?

A

Takes the glucose and other nutrients obtained by the digestive system to the rest of the body

54
Q

How does the Circulatory system interact with Immune system?

A

Carries white blood cells

55
Q

How does the Circulatory system interact with Excretory system?

A

Brings waste to the kidneys and other organs for removal

56
Q

How does the Circulatory system interact with Muscular system?

A

The heart is a muscles

57
Q

All other systems benefits by receiving needed materials that the circulatory system delivers and having its waste removed simultaneously

Fights infections/diseases

Q

What is platelets

A

helps in clotting

Sends and receives information about the body’s activates
Monitors and responds to change in the environment
Uses the senses to take in information from the world around us

64
Q

What are some Nervous system interactions?

A

All other systems—- All of your tissues and organs require instruction and direction from the nervous system. The brain controls breathing, heart rate, digestion, when to use the restroom you sense, ect

65
Q

What is a nerve cell

Allow feeling

65
Q

What are two parts of the nervous system?
