The liquid part of your blood
-
CO2 may form a small amount of _________ when it dissolves in the blood
carbonic acid (H2CO3)
-
A buildup of carbonic acid in blood plasma lowers pH levels and triggers the brain to stimulate what?
To stimulate the diaphragm to breathe more deeply and rapidly
-
Is the respiratory system conscious or subconscious?
subconscious (controlled by medulla) but it can be temporarily conscious
-
What's the purpose of the respiratory system?
To get oxygen and nitrogen to the blood and carbon dioxide to the external enviroment
-
What's the purpose of the digestive system?
To get molecules of food to blood cells
-
What is ingestion?
The taking in of foods or liquids
-
What is digestion?
A mechanical/chemical process which breaks down food into simpler molecules, synthesizes new molecules, and provides energy to the body
-
What is mechanical digestion?
The mixing and churning of food which increases the food's surface area for chemical digestion to occur
-
What is chemical digestion?
The chemical process which breaks down food particles into smaller molecules
-
What is the order of the gastrointestinal tract? (My peach ensemble sings sweet lullabies)
- 1. Mouth
- 2. Pharynx
- 3. Esophagus
- 4. Stomach
- 5. Small intestine
- 6. Large intestine
-
Name the four accessory digestive organs or glands that secrete materials that chemically digest food into the tract through ducts
- 1. Salivary gland (ie parotid salivary gland)
- 2. Gall bladder
- 3. Liver
- 4. Pancreas
-
FIll out the following diagram:
Mouth: Mixing / Chewing ; salivary amylase breaks down starch (carbohydrates)
Stomach: Mixing / Churning ; Gastric fluid containing Pepsin and HCI break down proteins
Liver / Gall Bladder: None ; Liver creates bile and gall bladder secreted bile into the tract which emulsifies fats into smaller droplets
Pancreas: None ; Secretes several enzymes into the tract that aid in chemical digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates (FCP)
Small intestine : None ; Secretes enzymes that complete the chemical digestion of all nutrients
-
What does HCI do to enzymes?
It allows them to work faster
-
What happens when a fat is emulsified?
It is made into smaller, separated droplets that cannot combine back together
-
What are the end products of digestion?
Amino acids, monosaccharides, glycerol, and fatty acids
-
What happens to the end products of digestion?
They are absorbed into the bloodstream via the blood vessels in the lining of the small instesting
-
Explain this diagram and answer the question
The villi are the finger-like projection coming off of the walls of the small intestine. In the villi are microvilli. Both the villi and the microvilli increase the surface area so more particles can be absorbed. Non absorbed particles go to the large intestine.
-
What is / does the large intestine do?
It completes the absorption of water and results in feces
-
What is the purpose of the circulatory system?
To move oxygen and food to parts of the body as well as to bring waste products to where they can be removed
-
What are the three major components of the circulatory system?
The heart, blood, and blood vessels
-
What is the muscle that is used to pump blood through the body?
The heart

Arteries, veins, and capillaries
-
What are large, muscular vessels which usually carry OXYGENATED blood AWAY from the heart and are very elastic to deal with the high pressure of pumped blood?
Arteries
-
What types of vessels carry blood back to the heart, are less muscular than arteries due to low blood pressure, and contain one-way valves to keep blood moving TOWARDS the heart?
Veins
-
What are the smallest blood vessels, with walls only one cell layer thick, that are involved in the diffusion of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc
capillaries
