Health - Grade 7 - Chapter 4 - Body Systems

AB
Nervous System FunctionsHelps us gather, relay, interpret, and use information. It also allows us to make all movements and decisions.
Bone coveringProtects the bone and helps it heal
Blood vesselsbrings in nutrients and wastes out
Compact BoneStrong dense part that makes up 80% of skeleton
Yellow MarrowIt fills center of bone and stores fat
Spongy bonecontains many tiny holes and red marrow is stored here
Red MarrowIt is found in the spongy bone and it is responsible for producing red blood cells
Functions of the digestive systembreak down food into nutrients that cells can use and pull nutrients out or and into the blood stream
Cell bodyKeeps the nerve cell alive and functioning
AxonSend information to other nerve cells
DendritesTiny branching fibers that spread out in all directions and gather information
Spinal Cord FunctionRelays signals between the brain, muscles, and organs. It can also relay signals directly from the sensory nerve to motor nerve.
Brain stemPart of the brain thta connects the brain and the spinal cord. It controls the bodies automatic function.
CerebellumSmaller portion of the brain that coordinates the motions of the voluntary muscles
CerebrumLargest part of the brain that interprets, stores, and sends information. It deals mostly with our senses.
Sensory nervesGather information to make us aware of our surroundings.
Motor NervesIt takes messages from the brain and brings them to our muscles and our organs
BrainIt interprets all the information that sensory nerves gather
Nervous system structuresThe brain, spinal chord, and all nerves through the body.
Structures of the Urinary System2 kidneys, 2 uterers, a bladder, and a uretha
KidneyFilters blood
UretersCarry wates from the kidneys to the bladder
BladderStores the urine
UrethaCarries waste from the body
Functions of the Urinary SystemREmoves waste from our blood and removes waste from our body.
CiliaTiny hairlike fibers that line passages of the respitory system. They trap impurities in the inhaled air.
TracheaThe tube that branches off from the throat and carries air toward the lungs. It is also known as the wind pipe.
DiaphragmThe dome shaped muscle below the rib cage. It contracts when we inhale and relaxes when we exhale
Respitory System FunctionsTo bring oxygen in, remove carbon dioxide, and to clean the air that we breathe.
Respitory System Structuresmouth, nose, epiglottus, trachea, bronchial tubes, lungs, and air sacs
MouthBreathe in through
air sacsThere are over 300 million of these
Cell membraneA membrane that surrounds the cell, holds everything together, and controls what enters or leaves the cell
NucleusThe brain of the cell
CytoplasmJelly-like substances that fill the inside of the cell. It holds other structures in place.
CellsThe basic unit of the body
Small intestinewhere majority of digestion takes place
Functions of the Skeletal SystemGives the body shape, aids muscular system in the movement of the body, and protects vital organs
The 3 main protective parts of the skeletal systemCranium, backbone, and ribs
Function of muscula systemmovement, shape, and functions of our organs
Ball & Socket jointhip and shoulder
Hinge jointelbow and knee
Gliding jointWrist and ankle
Pivot jointneck
Fixed or immoveable jointskull or face
Skeletal musclesbody movement and shape - an exampe is the bicep
Smooth musclesorgan function and it is involuntary - an example is the stomach
Cardiac muscleheart function & it is involuntary
