A | B |
Nervous System Functions | Helps us gather, relay, interpret, and use information. It also allows us to make all movements and decisions. |
Bone covering | Protects the bone and helps it heal |
Blood vessels | brings in nutrients and wastes out |
Compact Bone | Strong dense part that makes up 80% of skeleton |
Yellow Marrow | It fills center of bone and stores fat |
Spongy bone | contains many tiny holes and red marrow is stored here |
Red Marrow | It is found in the spongy bone and it is responsible for producing red blood cells |
Functions of the digestive system | break down food into nutrients that cells can use and pull nutrients out or and into the blood stream |
Cell body | Keeps the nerve cell alive and functioning |
Axon | Send information to other nerve cells |
Dendrites | Tiny branching fibers that spread out in all directions and gather information |
Spinal Cord Function | Relays signals between the brain, muscles, and organs. It can also relay signals directly from the sensory nerve to motor nerve. |
Brain stem | Part of the brain thta connects the brain and the spinal cord. It controls the bodies automatic function. |
Cerebellum | Smaller portion of the brain that coordinates the motions of the voluntary muscles |
Cerebrum | Largest part of the brain that interprets, stores, and sends information. It deals mostly with our senses. |
Sensory nerves | Gather information to make us aware of our surroundings. |
Motor Nerves | It takes messages from the brain and brings them to our muscles and our organs |
Brain | It interprets all the information that sensory nerves gather |
Nervous system structures | The brain, spinal chord, and all nerves through the body. |
Structures of the Urinary System | 2 kidneys, 2 uterers, a bladder, and a uretha |
Kidney | Filters blood |
Ureters | Carry wates from the kidneys to the bladder |
Bladder | Stores the urine |
Uretha | Carries waste from the body |
Functions of the Urinary System | REmoves waste from our blood and removes waste from our body. |
Cilia | Tiny hairlike fibers that line passages of the respitory system. They trap impurities in the inhaled air. |
Trachea | The tube that branches off from the throat and carries air toward the lungs. It is also known as the wind pipe. |
Diaphragm | The dome shaped muscle below the rib cage. It contracts when we inhale and relaxes when we exhale |
Respitory System Functions | To bring oxygen in, remove carbon dioxide, and to clean the air that we breathe. |
Respitory System Structures | mouth, nose, epiglottus, trachea, bronchial tubes, lungs, and air sacs |
Mouth | Breathe in through |
air sacs | There are over 300 million of these |
Cell membrane | A membrane that surrounds the cell, holds everything together, and controls what enters or leaves the cell |
Nucleus | The brain of the cell |
Cytoplasm | Jelly-like substances that fill the inside of the cell. It holds other structures in place. |
Cells | The basic unit of the body |
Small intestine | where majority of digestion takes place |
Functions of the Skeletal System | Gives the body shape, aids muscular system in the movement of the body, and protects vital organs |
The 3 main protective parts of the skeletal system | Cranium, backbone, and ribs |
Function of muscula system | movement, shape, and functions of our organs |
Ball & Socket joint | hip and shoulder |
Hinge joint | elbow and knee |
Gliding joint | Wrist and ankle |
Pivot joint | neck |
Fixed or immoveable joint | skull or face |
Skeletal muscles | body movement and shape - an exampe is the bicep |
Smooth muscles | organ function and it is involuntary - an example is the stomach |
Cardiac muscle | heart function & it is involuntary |
