SCIENCE 9 Flashcards
What gas do we inhale
Oxygen
What gas do we exhale
Carbon Dioxide
The process that involves in exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in organism
Respiration
Cells that convert energy from glucose that we eat into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Cellular Respiration
Opening to the respiratory tract
Nostrils
3 parts of the pharynx
Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Laryngopharynx
Connects the mouth and nasal cavity to the esophagus
Pharynx
A flap cartilage that opens during respiration
Epiglottis
Also known as the voice box
larynx
Connects the Larynx and Pharynx to the lungs. Also known as the Windpipe
Trachea
Air Passage from the Trachea to the lungs
Bronchi
bronchi branch into smaller tubes
Bronchioles
Main organ for respiration
lungs
What are the Lower respiratory tract
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
What are the upper respiratory tract
nostrils, nasal cavities, pharynx, and larynx,
tiny saclike structures at the end of the bronchioles
Alveoli
a powerful muscle nestled in the bottom of the rib cage
Diaphragm
Exchange of gases between an organism and its environment
Respiratory system
The system responsible for the distribution and pumping of the blood
Circulatory system
How many liters of blood does an average person have?
6 liters
is responsible for transporting materials for immune defense
blood
What are the extracellular fluid?
Plasma, Red and White Blood cell
is a pale yellowish liquid that is 92% water. The fluid part
Plasma
the most abundant cells, nearly 40% in the blood.
Red Blood cell
It takes oxygen from the lungs and delivers it to the tissues, it also transport carbon dioxide
Red blood cell
cells involved in protecting the body
White blood cell
Refers to the infection of the lungs caused by bacteria, virus, fungi, or protozoa in rare conditions.
Pneumonia
Chronic and allergic condition that makes the breathing airways narrow and swollen and causes them to produce extra mucus.
Asthma
Red blood cell is also known as_____
Erythrocytes (erythro-red, cytes-cells)
Three types of Formed elements
Red blood cell, White blood cell, and platelets
are fragments of cytoplasm with nucleus from large bone marrow cells known as megakaryoctes. They play a part in clotting blood
Blood Platelet
Another term for blood platelet
thrombocytes
Blood is carried throughout the body by a vast network of ____
Blood vessels
The three types of blood vessles are ____
Arteries, Veins, Capillaries
Blood vessels that move blood with wastes towards the heart
Veins
Blood vessels that move blood away from the heart
Arteries
Arteries and Veins are connected by a very small blood vessel called ______
Capillaries
What branch of Science is the Respiratory and Circulatory System part of
Biology
The ______ and _______ systems work together to provide enough oxygen and nutrients throughout the different parts of the body.
Circulatory and Respiratory
A disease in the cardiovascular system that blocks blood flow in the heart, resulting in starvation in oxygen supply
Heart Attack
A disease in the cardiovascular system, that increase volume of the blood in the body
Hypertension or High Blood
Both the _____ and _____systems work for the transport of vital gases and molecules in our body. Thus, it is essential that these systems are cared for.
Respiratory and Cardiovascular
The components that serve as the transportation in the human body are composed of the ____, ___, ___
The blood, blood vessels, and the Heart
The major system responsible for the distribution and pumping of the blood.
Circulatory System
is composed of strong cardiac muscle tissues that continuously contract and relax to pump blood all throughout the body
Heart
What are the 4 chambers of the heart
two atria and two ventricles.
The _____ specifically happens in the alveoli within the lungs.
Gas exchange
The iron-containing protein present in the red blood cells.
Hemoglobin
What are the 2 major circulation loops
Systematic and Pulmonary
When hemoglobin is loaded with oxygen, it can be referred to as ____ . It is characterized by a bright red color.
oxyhemoglobin
is the form of hemoglobin without oxygen that is purple to bluish.
Deoxyhemoglobin
______ circulation loop is where oxygenated blood is distributed into the body’s systems.
Systematic
________ circulation loop is where the blood from the systemic circulation returns to the heart and refilled with oxygen in replacement with the carbon dioxide it carries.
Pulmonary
is the direct measure of the heart rate. The ____is easiest to find on the wrist or neck.
Pulse
is the number of times your heart beats in one minute.
Pulse Rate
is a part of the systemic circulation loop that is the circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the heart muscle.
Coronary circulation
is the process of food-making in plants.
Photosynthesis
Plants are known as ___. They produce their own food.
Autotrophs
