Q

What are arteries

A

They carry blood away from the heart, they are thick walled. And have smooth muscles tissues so they work without thinking about it

A

It is a very large artery leading out of the heart

23
Q

What are arterioles

A

They are smalls, branching arteries

24
Q

What are capillaries

A

They are gas exchange sites where the blood vessels meet the cell. By diffusion

25
Q

What are veinuoles?

A

They are small branches of viens

26
Q

What are vein?

A

They carry blood back tot he heart, they do not have cardiac muscle tissue

27
Q

What is the pulmonary system?

A

It is when the heart works together with the lungs

28
Q

What is the systematic circulations?

A

Between the heart and the body cells, (heart -> aorta -> arteries -> capillaries -> veinuoles -> veins -> heart

29
Q

What is coronary heart disease?

A

When the cardiac muscles gets blocked with plaque, heart overworks itself

30
Q

What is mechanical digestion?

A

When the body breaks the food down to molecule size

31
Q

What is the centriole nervous system?

A

Is made up of the brain and the spinal cord

Q

What is cellular differentiation?

A

Is the process by which a cell becomes specialized to perform a specific function

Q

What is stem cells

A

Is a cell that can differentiate into many different cell types

Q

What is the nervous’s function

A

Is a delicate network of nerves that carries measles around the body

37
Q

What does the nervous system coordinate?

A

The nervous stake coordinates breathing, heart, and digestion

Nasal captivity, bronchi, lungs, mouth, trachea, aveoli

46
Q

What is gas exchange?

A

To make oxygen available To all cells of the body and get rid of waste carbon dioxide

47

A

Automatic nervous system, voluntary nervous system, sensory nervous system

48
Q

What are the cell type of the nervous system

A

Neurons : which are long cells that relay long nerve impulses

49
Q

What are interaction of systems?

A

Digestive and circulatory system : circulator system gets nutrients and water front he large intestines

Respiratory and circulatory: gas exchange occurs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream

50
Q

What is the cell type of respiratory system

A

Epithelial cels that liens the airways to allow smooth passageway (cartilage to keep the trachea open)
