Q

What is Cell Theory?

A

A theory that states:
- All Living things are made up of one or more cells is the simplest unit that can carry out all life processes.
- The cell is the simplest unit that can carry out all life processes.
- All cells come from other cells; they do not come from non-living matter.

99
Q

What are the alveoli?

A

Tiny sacs that are filled with air. Can be described as a bundle of grapes. This is where gas exchange happens and diffusion.

100
Q

What is the main purpose/role of the respiratory system?

A

Gaseous exchange.

101
Q

What is gaseous exchange?

A

Gaseous exchange is when oxygen enters the bloodstream in the lungs and carbon dioxide leaves the body. This occurs due to diffusion. The concentration of oxygen is always higher in the air that we inhale into our lungs than in the blood flowing through our lungs that is coming out of our lungs. This causes oxygen to diffuse from an area of higher concentration. Into the area of lower concentration.

102
Q

What happens to the oxygen that is diffused into our blood?

A

It traverses through the circulatory system handed off by Red blood cells to other cells for cellular respiration.

The main rule of the skeleton is to provide structure and support for our bodies and anchoring ports for our muscles. Some bones also protect the soft internal organs, such as the brain. Bones contain bone marrow which creates red blood cells.

116
Q

What is a muscle?

A

Muscle tissue consists of bundles of lung cells called muscle fibers that contain specialized proteins. These proteins cause the muscle to contract when signaled by nerve cells.When they contract, the muscle gets shorter and thicker. Skeletal muscle tissue is one of the three types of muscle tissue. The other are smooth muscle, mostly located in the intestines, and cardiac muscle in the heart.

117
Q

What is skeletal muscle?

A

Skeletal muscle is attached to bones by tendons, allowing the movement of body parts. This is a voluntary movement which can be controlled by us. Skeletal muscle is the only muscle that can be controlled by us voluntarily.

118
Q

What are tendons?

A

Tendons are the tissue that connects the muscles to the bones. Are like ropes being pulled by people to move a rock.
Thank you. Thank you. Yes, yes, I know that was a beautiful analogy.

119
Q

What is osteoporosis?

A

It is a disease that can affect people of all ages but is most common among older women. This disease involves the loss of bone tissue, making the bones brittle and weak. Osteoporosis does not cause any pain, so only a bone density test can indicate the presence of this disease. This can lead to broken bones. This is due to the lack of calcium and vitamin D. Physical activity can also lessen the risk of osteoporosis. Drink your milk, kids.

120
Q

What is the nervous system?

A

The organ system that is made-up of the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves. The system senses the environment and coordinates appropriate responses.

121
Q

What is the central nervous system?

A

The part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and the spinal cord.

122
Q

What is the peripheral nervous system?

A

The part of the nervous system consisting of the nerves and connecting the body to the central nervous system.

123
Q

What is the sensory neuron?

A

The neurons that sense your environment and send it to the brain and spinal cord.

124
Q

What is an interneuron?

A

Connects the sensory to the motor neurons.

125
Q

What is a motor neuron?

A

Nerves that control voluntary muscle.

126
Q

What is the overall function of the nervous? Ohh this is so obvious bro.

A

Transffo info and stuffo.

127
Q

Give 3 examples of the nervous system coordinating activities in your body.

A

Digestion. By triggering peristalsis.
Breathing. By moving the diaphragm up and down.
Heartbeat. By making it beat.

128
Q

What does our brain help us do?

A

Smell, feel, taste, hear, see and perceive.
Perceive as in like very quick reactions.

129
Q

Give two functions of the spinal cord.

A

Acts as a shortcut for reflexes, sends info around and stuff.

130
Q

What is the cerebral spinal fluid?

A

Surround your spinal cord and brain to protect and transport chemicals and remove waste products from the brain.

131
Q

NERVE CELL

A

like the diagram and stuff ya know. go review it…

But there is a eazy way of remembering the diagram (Logical method)
So the Axon terminal is the end of the nerves soooooooooo

Terminal means end… ez to remember

So the cell body is like THE BODY.
pretty straight forward

The Melenen sheath is like a sheath

like a sword sheath

it surrounds something to protect it

132
Q

What are sensory receptors?

A

The receptors are special cells or tissue that receive input from our internal environment and send signals along the peripheral nerves to our central nervous system. For example, our eyes have receptors that are sensitive to light.The ears, mouth, nose, muscles and skins have other receptors as well.

133
Q

Define the word stimulus.

A

Something that causes a reaction in the body. For example, if someone shoots me with a gun I will react with… I don’t know really.

134
Q

What is the circulatory system?

A

The organ system that is made-up of the heart, the blood and the bully vessels. The system that transports oxygen an nutrients around the body and carries away waste. Does not excrete waste.

135
Q

What three main parts is the circulatory system made of?

A

Blood.
Hearts.
Blood vessels.

136
Q

What is the blood and what is its purpose?

A

Blood is a type of connective tissue that circulates through all parts of your body. The blood consists of four components, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. blood picks up oxygen and then flows through the body to deliver it to the active cells

137
Q

What is the heart?

A

The heart is made-up of three different types of tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue. Cardiac muscle tissue is a special type of tissue only found in the heart. The cardiac muscle contracts at the same time to pump blood around the body.Boo.

138
Q

What are blood vessels?

A

Blood vessels form a network of tubes throughout the body to transfer blood. There are three types of blood vessels.

139
Q

What are red blood cells?

A

Red blood cells contain proteins called hemoglobins, which give blood its red colour. It makes up almost half of the blood’s volume. It transports oxygen around the body by storing it in a donut shape. The hemoglobin sends oxygen to cells that need cellular respiration.

140
Q

What are white blood cells?

A

Makes up less than 1% of the body’s volume. Has a nucleus. And are several types of it. Its main function is to protect the body from bacteria and others.

141
Q

What are platelets?

A

Tiny fragments, pieces of cells. Makes up less than 1% of the blood. This helps in blood clotting. Without this you would bleed forever. you would be a paper cut away from death

142
Q

What is plasma? like the one in our blood.

A

The liquid portion of blood, protein rich, makes up over half of the blood’s volume. Sends proteins and nutrients to all cells.

143
Q

What are the three types of blood vessels?

A

Arteries, veins and capillaries.

144
Q

What are arteries?

A

Very thick walls, and have a small lumen. Carries blood away from the heart at very high pressure.
Wait what?
oh no…

145
Q

What are veins?

A

Veins have walls not as thick as arteries and have larger lumens. It carries blood towards the heart at lower pressure.
wait lower? uhhhhhhhhhh…
um… Thats not good

146
Q

What are capillaries?

A

Tiny blood vessels, very thin walls. Enables the exchange of gases, nutrients and wastes between the blood and the body’s tissue.
WaIT? exchange gas?
I’m flipping done for my test!

147
Q

What is coronary artery disease?

A

It is when blood clots form in the arteries. This cuts off the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart. The heart has muscles that work all the time and need oxygen and nutrients all the time.

148
Q

What is the digestive system?

A

The organ system that is made-up of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas and gallbladder. The system that takes in, breaks up and digest food and then excretes the waste.

149
Q

Parts of the Digestive system. 10 in total.

A

Mouth.
Salivary gland.
Gallbladder.
Liver.
Pancreas.
Small intestine.
Esophagus.
Stomach.
Big intestine.
**** slash **. What?
it’s supposed to say Rectum/Anus

150
Q

What is the mouth?

A

Is an opening in the face. Consists of teeth, saliva gland and tongue. It is meant for chewing food…
Nothing else.
NOTHING ELSE!

151
Q

What is the esophagus?

A

A muscular tube connecting your mouth to your stomach, made of smooth muscle. Brings food to the stomach by contracting. This is called paralysis. No peristalsis.

152
Q

What is the stomach?

A

The stomach is one of the major organs in an animal’s digestive system. Very muscular J-shaped organ. Is lined with smooth muscle. Also is lined with cells that make digestive enzymes an acids. Richly supplied with nerves. The main function is the hold food and churn it. Protein digestions begin here. Tick.Next.Nerves in the stomach signal when we’re hungry an when we have enough to eat.

153
Q

What is the intestine?

A

The small one is 6 meters long and very narrow. The large one is 1.5 meters long, very big or larger in diameter. Found between the stomach and the anus. Made up of smooth muscle. Richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. Also, some cells make mucus. The function of the intestine is to digest food and absorb water.

154
Q

What are accessory organs?

A

The small one is 6 meters long and very narrow. The large one is 1.5 meters long, very big or larger in diameter. Found between the stomach and the anus. Made up of smooth muscle. Richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. Also, some cells make mucus. The function of the intestine is to digest food and absorb water.

155
Q

Why are accessory organs called accessory organs? (what google says)

A

Accessory organs are organs that secrete substances needed for the chemical digestion of food but do not move food as it is digested.

156
Q

How many openings does the digestive track have?

A

Two. There’s one at the face. And one in the anus.

157
Q

Describe 3 diseases/disorders of the digestive system.

A

Constipation: You are dehydrated, so the large intestine sucks out all the water of your poo to make it very hard. Also, mucus is gone because it is made of water. No soft I guess. Very, very pain. I have first-hand evidence.
Diarrhea: This is a disorder when there is a lot of water but not a lot of sucking. This is usually when there is bacteria in the water digestive system just flush it all out in a liquidy substance.
Cancer…

158
Q

Compare the two digestive systems of an earthworm and a human.

A

One is useless, one is a type of worm
Worm
-One intestine
-Gizzard and crop
-2 Stomacks
Human
-2 intestines
-One Stomach
-Pancreas, liver, salivary gland, and others
BOTH
-Anus
-Esophagus
-Mouth
-Pharynx
-Epiglottis(Don’t do this one cuz she gonna kill you)
