Q

Anal sphincter

A

Releases waste products from the digestive system

24
Circulatory system function
delivers nutrients and 02 to cell. Carries waste and CO2 away from cells
25
Red blood cells
Transport O2
26
White blood cells
Defense and immune system. Larger in size
27
Platelets
Protein fragments. Used for clotting
28
Plasma
Makes up 55% of blood. 90% water.
29
Arteries
Carries blood away from the heart. Think muscular wall.
30
Artecioles
Small arteries
31
Capillaries
Tiny thin walked blood vessles. Transports material in and out of a cell
32
Venules
Small veins
33
Veins
Carries blood to the heart. Thin walled, backflow
34
Heart right side
Recieves CO2 rich blood from the body
35
Heart left side
Receives O2 rich blood from the lungs and sends it out to the body
36
Right atrium
Recieces CO2 rich blood from vena cava
37
Right ventricole
Recieves CO2 blood from right atrium pumps blood through pulmonary valve out the pulmonary artery and into the lungs
38
Lungs
CO2 out CO2 in
39
Left atrium
O2 blood returns through pulmonary vein
40
Left ventricle
O2 blood pumped out of heart through suffix calve into aorta into the body
41
Lub
Ventricular contraction. Tricuspid and mitral valves slam shut
42
Dub
Atrial contraction. Pulmonary and aortic valves slam shut
43
Nervous system
A complex network of cells that communicate with eachother
44
Neuron
A nerve cell that transmits/ recieves
45
Axon
Long thin structure that transmits an electrical signal
46
Dendrite
Part that recieves signals from the axon
47
Synaptic cleft
A small gap between an axon and dendrite
48
Synapse
A chemical message between 2 neurons
49
Neurotransmitters
Chemicals released into the synaptic cleft
50
Nerve impulses
A pulse of electricity that flows across a neuron
51
Central nervous system
Brain and spinal chord. Caddies | Messages from the body to the bran and vena cava
52
Peripheral nervous system
Neurons that have cell bodies that are not included in the brain and spinal chord
53
Afferent neurons
sensory neurons that collect info from your body and send if to the brain
54
Efferent neurons
Motor neurons that send info away from the brain
55
Reflex
An involuntary movement where a stimulus is sent to the spinal chord via added end neurons motor neurons lead back to give a respond
56
Autonomic nervous system
Controls internal body conditions
57
Sympathetic division
Can direct blood blow away from digestive organs towards the heart and muscles
58
Parasympathetic Division
Causes organs to resume activity
