Questions and Answers

How does the circulatory system contribute to maintaining body temperature?

  • By breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
  • By moving blood vessels closer to or further from the skin's surface. (correct)
  • By exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
  • By filtering waste products from the blood.

Which of the following describes the relationship between tissues, organs, and organ systems?

  • Cells are made of organs, which are made of tissues, which form organ systems.
  • Organs are made of organ systems, which are made of tissues, which are made of cells.
  • Tissues are made of cells, which form organs, which work together in organ systems. (correct)
  • Organ systems are made of cells, which are made of tissues, which are made of organs.

In what way does the excretory system assist the respiratory system?

  • By removing carbon dioxide from the blood, a waste product of cellular respiration. (correct)
  • By delivering oxygen to the cells of the respiratory system.
  • By breaking down food to provide nutrients for the respiratory system.
  • By protecting lungs.

Study Notes

  • Large nasal passages and special blood flow enable caribou to warm cold air and retain heat.
  • Insects breathe via spiracles, small holes they adjust to regulate airflow.
  • Darwin discovered 13 finch species with beaks adapted to various food sources like seeds, fruit, and cactus, demonstrating adaptation.
  • Organs consist of tissues, which consist of cells requiring food and oxygen to function, and form systems to perform bodily functions.

Body Systems

  • Organ systems are groups of organs performing functions together.
  • The circulatory system, consisting of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste while regulating body temperature.
  • The respiratory system, which includes the nose, mouth, lungs, and diaphragm, facilitates oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange and balances blood acidity.
  • The digestive system, encompassing the mouth, stomach, liver, and intestines, breaks down food for absorption.
  • The excretory system, containing the kidneys, bladder, and lungs, removes waste from the blood.
  • The integumentary system, which includes the skin, protects the body and perceives touch, pain, and temperature.
  • The muscular system, made up of muscles and tendons, facilitates movement of bones and organs.
  • The skeletal system, including bones and cartilage, supports the body and protects organs.
  • The nervous system, comprising the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory organs, governs body functions and detects changes.

Cell Parts

  • Organelles are small components within cells.
  • The cell membrane is a thin layer surrounding the cell.
  • The cell wall is a rigid exterior layer found in plant cells.
  • Cytoplasm is the liquid filling the cell, containing various components.
  • The nucleus is a large, dark, round structure located in the cell's center.
  • Vacuoles are liquid-filled spaces within the cell.
  • Flagella are long tails utilized for cell movement.
  • Cilia are short, hair-like structures that eliminate harmful particles.
  • Only plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts.
  • Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
  • Hyper refers to more, iso means the same, and hypo signifies less.
