QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Skeletal muscle - ✔✔Connects to the skeleton and allows voluntary movement.
✔✔Cardiac muscle - ✔✔Muscle of the heart, responsible for pumping blood throughout
the body.
✔✔Smooth muscle - ✔✔Found in the skin and digestive tract. Responsible for actions
such as peristalsis and temperature regulation via arrector pili muscles.
✔✔Connective Tissue - ✔✔Responsible for actions such as separating structure,
connecting structures, transporting the nutrients, insulating the body, and protecting the
body.
✔✔Blast Cells - ✔✔Build connective tissue
✔✔Clast Cells - ✔✔Break down connective tissue
✔✔Types of connective tissue - ✔✔Bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fascia,
adipose, serous membranes, and blood.
✔✔Blood - ✔✔Consists of erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, and plasma.
✔✔Erythrocytes - ✔✔Red blood cells, responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon
dioxide throughout the body via hemogloblin, found in them cytoplasm of cells and
made of iron.
✔✔Leukocytes - ✔✔White blood cells, phagocytes that help fight off infections agents
and break down dead cells and debris inside the body.
✔✔Thrombocytes - ✔✔Platelets, responsible for clotting the blood.
,✔✔Plasma - ✔✔Liquid portion of blood, allow transportation of blood cells, hormones,
and waste products throughout the body.
✔✔Serous Membrane - ✔✔Surround organs inside body cavities, preventing organs
from creating friction
✔✔Thorax in terms of tissue - ✔✔Contains the pericardium, which surrounds the heart,
and the pleura, which surrounds the lungs
✔✔Abdomen in terms of tissue - ✔✔Contains the peritoneum, which also extends into
the pelvis.
✔✔Inner wall - ✔✔Visceral Serous Membrane
✔✔Outter wall - ✔✔Parietal Serous Membrane
✔✔Cardiovascular System - ✔✔Transports nutrients such as oxygen and hormones to
tissues and carries waste such a carbon dioxide out of the body.
✔✔Heart - ✔✔Pumps blood
✔✔Arteries - ✔✔Largest and most internal blood vessels, carry blood away from the
heart.
✔✔Veins - ✔✔Move blood towards the heart
✔✔Capillaries - ✔✔Microscopic blood vessels that transport oxygen-rich blood into
tissues.
✔✔Digestive System - ✔✔Brings food into the body, digestion, absorbs nutrients, and
eliminates waste.
✔✔Oral Cavity - ✔✔Mouth, contains tongue, teeth, and salivary glands. Performs
mastication and swallowing.
✔✔Pharynx - ✔✔Throat, transports food from the oral cavity to the esophagus.
✔✔Esophagus - ✔✔Transports food from the pharynx to the stomach.
✔✔Stomach - ✔✔Digests food into absorbable nutrients.
✔✔Liver - ✔✔Filters harmful chemicals from the blood, produces bile.
✔✔Gallbladder - ✔✔Stores bile and empties bile into the duodenum.
, ✔✔Pancreas - ✔✔Produces insulin and glucagon and secretes them into duodenum.
✔✔Small Intestine - ✔✔Absorbs nutrients. Consists of the duodenum, jejunum, and
ileum.
✔✔Large Intestine - ✔✔Absorbs water, eliminates waste.
✔✔Sphincters - ✔✔Ring-like bands of muscle that open to allow food to move into an
organ, or close to prevent food from moving into an organ.
✔✔Esophageal Sphincter - ✔✔Located between the pharynx and esophagus.
✔✔Cardiac Sphincter - ✔✔Located between the esophagus and stomach.
✔✔Pyloric Sphincter - ✔✔Located between the stomach and small intestine.
✔✔Ileocecal Sphincter - ✔✔Located between the small intestine and large intestine.
✔✔Endocrine System - ✔✔Coordinates specific activities of cells and tissues via
hormone release. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the blood stream.
✔✔Adrenal Glands - ✔✔Secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine, which elevate blood
pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar.
✔✔Dopamine - ✔✔Produced by the hypothalamus, increases blood pressure and heart
rate. Considered the reward center hormone.
✔✔Ovaries - ✔✔Secrete progesterone and estrogen.
✔✔Pancreatic Islets - ✔✔Secrete insulin and glucagon. Insulin lowers glucose
concentration in the blood, while glucagon increases glucose concentration in the blood.
✔✔Pituitary Gland - ✔✔Secretes growth hormone, prolactin, and follicle-stimulating
hormone. Responsible for bone growth, milk production, and production of female egg
cells and make sperm cells.
✔✔Testes - ✔✔Secrete testosterone
✔✔Thryroid - ✔✔Produces calcitonin, which decreases calcium concentration in the
blood.
