accessory organs - Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas aerobic respiration - cellular respiration that uses oxygen, sequentially releasing energy and storing it in ATP begins in cytoplasm--ends in mitochondria alimentary canal - a long, muscular tube that begins at teh mouth and includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomcah, small intestine, large intestine, and anus alveolus - tiny air sac at the end of a bronchiole in the lungs that provides surface area for gas exchange to occur amalyse - saliva contains this enzyme; begins the process of chemical digestion by breaking down starches (carbohydrates--glucose) anaerobic respiration - less efficient, produce less ATP produces lactic acid aorta - The largest artery in the body; it conducts freshly oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues.
atrioventricular valve - A valve in the heart between each atrium and ventricle that prevents a backflow of blood when the ventricles contract. bile - a digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder--breaks down fats Blood - - connective tissue
- variety of cells suspended in liquid (plasmid) 45% CELLS (red cells, white cells, platelets) 55%PLASMID (proteins, ions, hormones, gases) bronchi - The passages that branch from the trachea and direct air into the lungs capillaries - tiny blood vessels--connect arteries and veins--where materials enter and leave blood cardiovascular system - the body system that consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, and that carries needed substances to cells and carries waste products away from cells cellular respiration - the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic moelcules aerobic or anareobic
diastole - relaxation phase of the heartbeat (pressure decreases) Digestion - Breaking down of nutrients into small, soluable molecules that can be absorbed into the blood facilitates absorption in small intestine? - villi (increase surface area toa absorb end products of digestion into blood and nymph) fermentation - anaerobic respiration in yeast--produces ethanol gallbladder - the organ that stores bile after it is produced by the liver gas exchange in lungs - capillaries and alveoli via avleolar membrane via diffusion gastric juices - secreted by the stomach; contain digestive enzymes (proteases) and hydrochloric acid hemoglobin - iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen for delivery to cells hydrolases - Enzymes that carry out digestion by hydrolosis, uses H2O to breakdown polymers to monomers hydrolysis - Breaking down complex molecules by the chemical addition of water (essential part of chemical digestion)
inferior vena cava - A vein that is the largest vein in the human body and returns blood to the right atrium of the heart from bodily parts below the diaphragm. larynx - voice box; passageway for air moving from pharynx to trachea; contains vocal cords Lipases - class of enzymes that breaks down fats (lipids) into fatty acids and glycerol. (in small intestine) liver - Large organ just above the stomach that produces bile lymph capillaries - microscopic thin-walled lymph vessels that pick up lymph, proteins, and waste from body tissues lymph nodes - many small oval structures that filter the lymph received from the lymph vessels lymphatic system - a collection of organs whose primary function is to collect extracellular fluid and return it to the blood mechanical digestion - the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces (chewing increases surface area-easier to swallow) pancreas - gland that makes digestive enzymes and secretes them into the small intestine; makes the hormones insulin and glucagon and secretes them into the blood
route of respiratory system - nasal cavaties pharynx larynx trachea bronchi lungs bronchioles alveolus semilunar valve - another name for the pulmonary and aortic valves , A valve located at the two exits of the heart, where the aorta leaves the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery leaves the right ventricle. small intestine - responsible for most chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients
- longest part of canal superior vena cava - carries blood from upper regions of the body to right atrium 2nd largest vein (IVC largest) systole - Contraction of heart (increases blood pressure) white blood cells - diease fighting cells in blood less abundant than white infection indicated by excess concentration WBC
a.k.a LEUKOCYTES
