Q
What is a cell?
A
Cells are often referred to as the building blocks of life.
8
Q
sequence of how living things are made up:
A
Atom, molecules, cells, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
9
Q
What is Homeostasis?
A
The ability or tendency to maintain internal stability in an organism to compensate for environmental changes.
- The reason our internal temperature stays the same regardless of our environmental
- We shiver or sweat to keep this temperature constant inside our bod
10
Q
examples of homeostatis
A
Keeping blood sugar level
Regulating Blood pressure
pupils
11
Q
Keeping blood sugar level
A
Insulin uses sugar from blood to give it body
If someone has diabetes, they do not have insulin, which means sugar levels are high in blood, and low in body
12
Q
Regulating Blood pressure
A
- If we drink too much water, our blood pressure does not rise as our body exerts any extra out of our body.
- Water goes to blood vessels (arteries)
- We have receptors inside arteries that detect pressure (more volume)
- Receptors send message to brain, then brain sends message to kidneys and tells kidneys to make urine(take extra fluid and make it into urine)
- Then blood pressure goes back down
13
Q
Pupils
A
- Can constrict and expand
- When there is a lot of light, the pupils constrict(close) to protect eye from too much light
- When there is no light, the pupils dilate (get bigger) to bring in as much light as possible
14
Q
organism
A
- living thing made of cells and uses homostatisis to maintain life

36
Protection from skeletal system
The cranium and ribs protect the brain and vital organs in the chest
37
Shape from skeletal system
Gives shape to the body and makes you tall or short
38
support from skeletal system
Hold your vital organs in place when playing sport. The vertebral column holds the body upright.
39
movement from skeletal system
Muscles are attached to bones, which are jointed. When the muscles contract the bones move.
40
blood protection from skeletal system
Red blood cells (to carry oxygen) and white blood cells (to protect against infection) are produced in the bone marrow of some bones.
41
babys bones to adults
babys have 350 bones to fuse to create 206
cartigalte form baby grows and calcium makes it bone
42
Calcium Rich Foods:
Broccoli
Milk
Kale
Yogurt
Almonds
Sardines
Cheese
43
Vitamin D: Why is it so important?
- Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption
- Vitamin D is like a key that unlocks the door and lets calcium into the body
- It is found in little foods and therefore is usually bought as a supplement
- It is also produced when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger your body to procured vitamin D
44
outer surface of bone
- periosteum
- thin, dense membrane
- contains blood vessels and nerves that nourish the bone.
45
layer in outer surface bone
- compact bone
- smooth and very hard.
46
layers of compact bone
- spongy bone
- not quite as hard as compact bone, but it is still very strong.
47
Inner most part of bone
- Bone marrow .
- thick jelly
- makes red blood cells
48
Ligaments
- join bone to bone
- Strong, elastic bands of tissue
- hold bones together in the joints.
49
Muscles
attached by tendons to bones
50
sprain
- involves ligament
- a joint is forced to move into an unnatural position
51
strain
- involves tendons
- tendon gets stretched or pulled away from the bone
52
The Respiratory System
- major function is GAS EXCHANGE
53
Gas Exchange
Inhalation of oxygen gas
Exhalation of carbon dioxide gas
54
Protection from particles
The combination of mucus and cilia allows the
respiratory system to trap irritants and remove
them
55
Nose (nostrils)
- only external part
- Providing an airway for respiration
- Moistening and warming (humidifies) the entering air
- Filtering inspired air and cleans it of foreign matter
56
Pharynx
- connects the
nose to the rest of the
respiratory system
- collects incoming air that is
inhaled from the nose and
passes it downward to the
trachea (windpipe)
57
Larynx
Vocal cords are on both sides at
the upper end of the larynx
- air blow from lung sgive vibration
58
epiglottis
The cartilage that covers the
larynx during swallowing
59
Trachea
- Flexible and mobile tube
extending from the larynx
- There are rings of cartilage that
keep the trachea open
-
60
chocking
food being
lodged in the trachea
61
Tracheotomy
- An incision in the neck
(into the trachea) to form
a temporary or
permanent opening
(tracheostomy)
- Reroutes air when the
usual airway is blocked or
narrowed
62
Bronchi and Bronchioles
- At the base of the trachea, it bifurcates into two bronchi (s: bronchus)
- Once inside the lungs, the bronchi further branch into bronchioles
(to maximize surface area)
63
Bronchial Tubes
- lined with cilia (like very
small hairs) that have a
wave-like motion
- carry contaminant upward
and out into the throat,
where it is either coughed
up or swallowed
64
Lungs
Two air-filled sacs that aids in the inspiration and
expiration of air (ventilation) and gas exchange
65
Inhalation:
When the diaphragm
contracts, there is more space
in the thoracic cavity
Breathe in to maintain
pressure
66
Exhalation:
When the diaphragm
relaxes, there is less space
in the thoracic cavity
Breathe out to maintain
pressure
67
Alveoli
- Each bronchiole branches into
the final destination for air –
where gas exchange occurs
- mak eup lungs
- Once the air reaches the
alveoli, your blood vessels
picks it up and brings it to the
rest of your cells in the body
68
Gas Exchange at the Respiratory Membrane
- carbon dioxide is a waste product of cells
- It is very dangerous if it builds up in your body
- The blood carries the carbon dioxide from your cells to the lungs
- Therefore, you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide
69
Effects of Exercise on Respiratory System
- Exercise helps respiratory muscles
become stronger to expand the
thoracic more (improve lung
capacity)
- Exercise develops capillarization of
alveoli (improved gas exchange)

(this means everything is working!)
145
Concussion
when the brain jiggles inside the skull
146
CTE:
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a brain disease caused by multiple blows/hits to the head. It causes erratic behavior including memory loss, thoughts of suicide, aggression, etc.
147
Lost fluid in body
- As the blood flows through the capillaries, it is under pressure.
- Because of this pressure, fluid seeps out of the arterial side of the capillaries.
- tiny lymph capillaries pick up these lost fluids and transport them back to the heart through lymph vessels.
148
Lyth nodes
- small structures that work as filters for harmful substances.
as this "lymph fluid" flows through the lymph vessels, it is filtered through lymph nodes
- white blood cells remove bacteria and other foreign materials.
149
Lythmatic duct
- lymphatic system returns the interstitial fluid to the thoracic duct
- goes to the bloodstream, where it is recirculated back to the tissues
150
Tonsils
-two lymph nodes located on each side of the back of your throat
- defense mechnisum
- immune system's first line of defense against ingested or inhaled foreign pathogens
151
lytmth vessels
- route lymph fluid through nodes throughout the body
- nodes contain immune cells that can help fight infection by attacking and destroying germs that are carried in through the lymph fluid
152
Edema:
- accumulation of fluid in certain tissues within the body.
- accumulation of fluid may be under the skin - usually in dependent areas such as the legs or ankels
153
How to fix edema
Elevate legs
Diuretics
154
Weeping legs
Leg swelling due to congestive heart failure is very common.
The swelling is due to excess fluid that backs up because the heart muscle is weak and cannot pump well.
155
llyhatic system parts
- tonsils
- thymus
- spleen
- lymth nodes
156
Asthma
- Muscles of the bronchi and bronchioles
spasm and cause bronchioconstriction
- Excess mucus is secreted causing a
narrowing of the airway
- Many triggers including exercise, cold air,
and irritants/allergens
157
Bronchitis
- Narrowing of the airways from
the inflammation of the
bronchial tubes
- Excess mucus is secreted
causing a narrowing of the
airway
- Acute bronchitis often develops
from a cold or viral infection
158
Pneumonia
- inflammation of the lungs, alveoli, and
bronchioles caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal
infection
- causes fluid build-up, coughing, fever, and
malaise
- High mortality rate in elderly
159
Emphysema
- A condition within the lungs that limits the
ability to breathe due to damaged/collapsed
alveoli
- Smoking is generally the main cause, along
with inhalation of air pollution and chemical
fumes
- Damaged cells in the lungs lead to both
alveoli and bronchial tubes rupturing and
leaving behind holes
160
Cystic Fibrosis
- Abnormally thick mucus created in the
conducting zone of the respiratory tract
resulting in an obstructed airway
- Defect in gene causes cells to retain more
water and salt which leads to thickened
mucus production
- Infections are common due to build up of
mucus in the airways
161
