A
Liver, gallbladder, pancreas
23
Q
What does the liver do?
A
Produces bile
24
Q
What is the function of bile?
A
Helps digest fat and filters out toxins and waste including alcohol
25
What is the function of the gall bladder?
Stores bike from the liver, releases it into the small intestine
26
What can cause gall stones?
Fatty diets
27
What is the function of the pancreas?
Produces digestive enzymes to digest fats carbohydrates and proteins.
Regulates blood sugar by producing insulin.
28
What is the main function of the respiratory system?
Take in and release carbon dioxide
29
What organs are in the respiratory system?
```
Nose/Mouth
Trachea
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Alveoli
```
30
Explain the steps to breath in detail.
goes through the nose and is filtered by cilia
Air goes down the trachea and into the lungs
Then to the bronchi
Then To the bronchioles
At the end of each bronchioles is the alveoli and blood enters using diffusion into the capillaries
Then we exhale carbon dioxide
31
What happens inside the alveoli?
Around the alveoli are lots of capillaries
| Inside the capillaries are red blood cells, they drop off the carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen using diffusion
32
What organs are apart of the circulatory system?
```
Blood
Heart
Veins
Arteries
Capillaries
```
33
What is the function of the circulatory system?
* It connects to all organ systems
* It transports nutrients
* It transports waste
34
How much blood does the human body contain?
5 Litres
35
What does the right side of the heart do?
Takes in deoxygenated blood and sends it to the lungs
36
What does the left side of the heart do?
Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body
37
What are the two chambers of the heart known as?
Atria and Ventricles
38
What does the right atrium do?
Receives deoxygenated blood and sends it to the right ventricle
39
What does the right ventricle do?
Receives deoxygenated blood from the left atrium and sends it to the lungs
40
What does the left atrium do?
Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle
41
What does the left ventricle do?
Pumps blood to the aorta and through out the body
42
What are the three types of blood vessels?
* Arteries
* Veins
* Cappillaries
43
What do arteries do?
Carries blood away from your heart to all parts of the body. Carries oxygen rich blood
44
What do the veins do?
Returns blood to the heart.
45
What do veins have to prevent blood from flowing backwards?
Thinner walls and valves
46
What are Cappillaries?
Thin tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins
47
What is the functions of capillaries?
Exchange gasses and nutrients
Carry blood to the cells
Carries oxygen rich blood from the arteries to the cells then carries blood to the veins
48
What are the adaptions that capillaries have?
They are only one cells layer thick
| They are very narrow so that blood cells pass through single file
49
How much of your blood is plasma?
55%
50
How much of your blood is red blood cells (RBC)?
44%
51
How much of your blood is white blood cells (WBC) and platelets?
About 1%
52
What is the function of white blood cells?
They fight infections. Some are capable of eating bacteria
53
What is plasma and what does it do?
It's the liquid portion of your blood. Transports nutrients to your cells and carries away waste such as carbon dioxide away
54
What are platelets?
Cells that stop bleeding in cuts
55
What is the function of red blood cells?
Carry oxygen.
56
What adaption do red blood cells have?
In order to carry the most oxygen possible mature red blood cells have no nuclei making more room for oxygen.
57
What is the function of the excretory system?
Gets rid of chemical and gaseous waste
58
What does the excretory system get rid of?
Ammonia
| And excess water and salts
59
How is ammonia produced?
When the body breaks down proteins
60
What is the function of the liver?
Takes in ammonia and turns it into a less toxic substance called urea then reduces it into the bloodstream
61
What is the function of the kidneys?
They filter out urea, water and other salts and produces urine
62
How do the kidneys work?
* Blood flows into the kidneys using the renal artery
* The arteries then turn into filtering capillaries called nephrons
* The nephrons take out waste and produces urine
* Then the clean blood goes to the renal vein and back to the heart
63
Where does the urine go after the kidneys?
The ureters that connect to the bladder. When the bladder is full it pushes out into the urethra
64
How can urine diseases be diagnosed?
By monitoring urine production and contents
65
When people are being tested for hyperglycemia what are they looking for?
Ketones. A metabolic product produced when fat is metabolized. They increase when there is insufficient insulin
66
What is dialysis?
What people with failing kidneys have to go to
67
How does dialysis work?
Using osmosis and diffusion to remove waste from the blood. This takes about 4-6 hours
68
What is the purpose of the nervous system?
Monitor and respond to stimuli
69
What is a neuron?
Cells that make up a nervous system
70
What are the two types of neurons?
Sensory and Motor
71
What are dendrites?
The receiving part and sending out part of the cell
72
What is an axon?
The part the message travels through before it gets to the dendrite
73
What do dendrites do?
Receive messages and send out messages
74
What does the axon do?
Carries impulses away from the cell body to dendrites
75
The nervous system can be divided into two main parts. What are they?
The central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
76
The peripheral nervous system can be further divided into to sections. What are they?
Somatic and autonomic nervous system
77
What happens in the central nervous system?
It is where we process information from our senses and where we produce both voluntary and involuntary responses
78
What does the somatic nervous system do?
Gives conscious responses to stimuli
79
What does the autonomic nervous system do?
Automatically responds to stimuli. Like the size of your pupil it breathing or your heart rate.
80
What happens when you touch a hot stove?
Sensory neurons in your hand stimulus by sending impulses to your spinal cord. The. They relay the message to motor neurons. And your hand moves.
81
Are sensory neurons evenly distributed?
No some areas of are body are more sensitive than others
