What the reactant of cellular respiration
Glucose + oxygen
Whats the function of the circulatory system?
Transport glucose and oxygen around the body to cells
What would happen to a person’s energy levels if their oxygen intake decreased
- decrease oxygen = decrease in energy level
Cellular respiration creates energy, less oxygen means less cell. Respiration = less energy
Examples of pathogens
Bacteria, viruses, fungi
How does hair, mucus, and saliva defend pathogens from entering the body?
Hair: traps pathogens to prevent entry
Mucus: Traps and removes pathogens
Saliva: enzymes damage pathogens
Identify the defence system, antibodies
Antibodies help clump pathogens together to be consume and destroy
Describe how body protects itself against allergens
Hair traps allergens from entering the body, mucus helps trap and remove allergens, and the saliva enzymes help destroy the allergens
What does PNS stand for
Peripheral nervous system
What are the two parts of the CNS
Central nervous system: brain and spinal cord
Definition of dendrite
Single extension where a nerve impulse starts
Definition of cell body
Contains the nucleus which controls the neurons
Definition of axon
Single extension of a cell body and sends nerve impulses in one direction
Detention of Axon terminal
Branches that send nerve impulses to other neurons, muscles or glands
Identify the direction of motor neurons
CNS -> PNS
Interneuron -> sensory organs
Definition of stimulus
A change in the environment
