How does the skeletal system allow

movement?

(answer)

Joints

Skeletal 100

Name 3 types of joints and where they are

located in the body.

(answer)

Pivot – neck Hinge – elbow, knee Ball-and-socket – shoulder, hip Gliding – wrist, ankle

Skeletal 200

What is the importance of water in

the skeletal system? Explain.

(answer)

Lubricant – reduces friction at joints and keeps them moving smoothly

Skeletal 300

What are the 4 main functions of the skeletal

system?

(answer)

Protects internal organs Makes red blood cells Allows movement Stores minerals

Skeletal 400

Why does the skeletal system

depend on the muscular system?

(answer)

The skeleton is built to move, but doesn’t have the capability to move on its own. The muscles attach to bones to make them move.

Skeletal 500

What is the primary function of the muscular

system?

(answer)

movement

Muscular 100

What are the 2 types of muscle action?

Explain.

(answer)

Voluntary – move under your control Involuntary – move without you thinking

Muscular 200

What are the 3 types of muscle? Where in the

body can each be found?

(answer)

Cardiac – only in the heart Smooth – lines the walls of digestive tract Skeletal – attached to bones

Muscular 300

Skeletal muscles must work in pairs to move

bones. What are these pairs? Explain.

(answer)

Flexor – contracts to bend a body part Extensor – contracts to straighten a body part

Muscular 400

Why would some muscles fail to work

properly if a bone is broken?

(answer)

Skeletal muscle is attached to bone, and if the bone is broken the flexors and extensors wouldn’t be able to pull on the bone to move the joint.

Muscular 500

What is another name for the cardiovascular

system?

(answer)

Circulatory system

Cardiovascular 100

What are the 5 parts that make up this

system? Explain each of their functions.

(answer)

Heart – pumps blood Blood – delivers oxygen and nutrients Artery – takes blood away from the heart Capillary – allows an exchange of

materials from blood cells to other body cells

Vein – takes blood back to the heart

Cardiovascular 200

What is the difference between systemic

and pulmonary circulation?

(answer)

Systemic – circulation of blood from the heart to the body and back to the heart

Pulmonary – circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart

Cardiovascular 300

Why is water important in the

cardiovascular system?

(answer)

Temperature Regulator – absorbs heat to help keep body temperature constant

Cardiovascular 400

Why are other systems dependent on

the cardiovascular system? (respiratory, digestive, urinary)

(answer)

The blood will transport (pick up and deliver) oxygen, nutrients and waste materials around the body

Cardiovascular 500

What is the primary function of the

respiratory system?

(answer)

To bring in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide

Respiratory 100

What are the structures that make up the

respiratory system?

(answer)

Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, bronchioles, and alveoli.

Respiratory 200

Explain the importance of the alveoli.

(answer)

Alveoli filter oxygen from the air and pass it into the blood stream through capillaries. At the same time, carbon dioxide is passed into the alveoli from the blood to be removed from the body.

Respiratory 300

What is the role of water in cellular

respiration? Explain.

(answer)

Metabolite – water helps the cells perform chemical reactions such as cellular respiration

Respiratory 400

What is the difference between breathing

and respiration?

(answer)

Breathing is inhaling and exhaling air. Respiration is getting and using oxygen.

Respiratory 500

What are the structures that make up

the digestive system?

(answer)

Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, and large intestine.

Digestive 100

What are the two types of digestion?

Explain.

(answer)

Mechanical digestion – physically breaking, ripping, smashing (etc.) into smaller pieces

Chemical digestion – using substances to breakdown into smaller molecules

Digestive 200

What is the role of water in regards to

digestion?

(answer)

Solvent – water helps to dissolve nutrients so the body can use them

Digestive 300

What are the organs that assist with digestion,

but are not part of the digestive tract? Explain their functions.

(answer)

Liver – stores nutrients, makes bile, breaks down toxins

Gallbladder – stores bile and squeezes it into the small intestine to break down fat.

Pancreas – protects the small intestine from stomach acid in chyme, by neutralizing the acid

Digestive 400

Why is the small intestine so long?

Explain.

(answer)

Villi are fingerlike projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food. It is long so that it can get as many nutrients as possible from the food.

Digestive 500

What are the structures that make up this

system?

(answer)

Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra

Urinary 100

What is the tube in which urine leaves the

body?

(answer)

Urethra

Urinary 200

Where does urine get stored before it can be

expelled from the body?

(answer)

Urinary bladder

Urinary 300

What is the primary function of the

urinary system?

(answer)

To remove waste from the blood that was made in the body.

Urinary 400

What are nephrons? Explain how they

function.

(answer)

Nephrons are microscopic filters in the kidneys. They filter the waste and water out of the blood which makes urine. Most of the water and the nutrients are returned to the blood and the blood is recirculated. The urine leaves the kidneys in tubes called ureters.
