readings, notes from class, textbook, directed reading questions, foldable
Format is: multiple choice questions, fill in, short answer
Homeostasis
1. What is homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in a cell or a living organism. It is how our
body reacts to changes in our external environment to try to keep our body working the same
Levels of Organization (cellstissuesorgansorgan systemsliving organism)
1. Kinds of Body Tissues Jobs in Body
Muscle
Nerve
contracts and relaxes muscles which PULL on bones to produce
movement of body
sends electrical signals through the body from the brain “telling” the
body parts what to do (raise hand, blink, digest food etc)
Connective
joins, supports, protects, insulates, nourishes and cushions organs
Epithelial
cover and protect all the tissues underneath the skin
4. Skeletal System : Explain each of the 5 jobs of the skeleton system?
1. Protects organs (ribs protect heart and lungs, skull protects brain, vertebrae protect spinal cord)
2. Bones store minerals such as calcium, potassium and iron
3. Allow movement of body, and supports shape of body (muscles pull on bones to move)
4. Blood cell formation (in red marrow)
5. Supports and Shapes body
5. What is a joint
-a place where two or more bones meet. A joint allows little or no
movement like your skull. Others allow lots of movement like your
shoulder
6. What cushions the ends of bones?
-Cartilage cushions the ends of bones to prevent bones from rubbing one
another. It is located at the end of bones and between joints. Cartilage
is what most of our bones were originally made of before they hardened
to become bone.
7. Label the bones and different kinds of joints in the Following
Skeleton:
8. Match the 5 kinds of joints with their appropriate function
1. ____d____ Pivot
a. Allows little to no movement
2. ___a____ _fixed
b. Glides, allows flexibility

10.Type of Bone Tissue
Spongy
Function

Muscular System
1. What are flexor and extensor muscles?
Flexor-skeletal muscle that contract to BEND a joint (biceps)
Extensor-skeletal muscle that contracts to STRAIGHTEN a limb or body part (triceps)
2. Identify the muscles in your arm that allow it to bend and straighten?
Biceps-bend and Triceps-straighten
3. Identify the 3 kinds of muscle, voluntary or involuntary, and their location in the body.
Type of Muscle: Skeletal
Cardiac
Smooth
Voluntary or
Voluntary
Involuntary
Involuntary
Involuntary
Location
Attached to all bones
Heart only
Blood vessels and
digestive organs
Respiratory System
4. What is the difference between respiration and cellular respiration?
-Respiration is the process of the body taking in oxygen for our cells, and the removal of carbon dioxide that is the
waste product from cells. Cellular respiration is when our body cell uses oxygen to break down glucose and
release energy (ATP) within the cells. List the pathway of oxygen as it travels through the respiratory system on
its way to your blood.
5. What happens to oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli? _____diffusion_____________________
6. Which muscle controls how you breathe in and out? How does it work?
-Contraction of the diaphragm causes inhalation; relaxation of the diaphragm causes exhalation.
7. Match the following terms to their correct definition.
_e____. Process of using oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and water
a. breathing
__a___. Inhalation and exhalation
b. larynx
_b____. Area of the throat that contains the vocal chords
c. nose
_f____. Group of organs that take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide
d. pharynx
__c___. Main passage into and out of the respiratory system
e. respiration
__d__. Throat
f. respiratory system
__J_ _. Use of oxygen by cells to release energy stored in food
g. alveoli
_k____. Tube guarded by the larynx, carries oxygen to the lungs
h. bronchioles
_i____. Tube that connects the trachea to the lungs
i. bronchus/bronchi
_h____. Smaller branches of the bronchi in the lungs
j. cellular respiration
_g____. Tiny sacs at the ends of the bronchi
k. trachea
Circulatory System
8. List and explain the 5 jobs of the circulatory system (2 points each)
1. It carries food, water, and oxygen to all of the cells in the body.
2. It removes waste from all of the cells of the body.
3. It helps to maintain our body temperature.
4. It helps to fight against disease.
5. It carries chemicals to different parts of the body.
9. How are the circulatory system and respiratory system connected? (Hint: think about oxygen)
-The systems are connected because oxygen enters the body through the nose and is transported through the
respiratory system to the alveoli of the lungs and diffuses into capillaries and into our blood stream (entering
the circulatory system). The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the arteries which carry the oxygen to
capillaries throughout the body and oxygen diffuses into our body’s cells. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of our
body’s cells and enters our bloodstream at the various capillaries in our body. Veins transport the waste back
to our heart which pumps it to the capillaries in the lungs and carbon dioxide diffuses back into the
respiratory system and travels back up out of our body
21.
Where does blood enter the heart from the lungs? __through the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium
22.
Where does blood enter the heart from the body? through the superior or inferior vena cava and into the
right atrium
23.
What makes the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein different from other arteries and veins?
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to remove the carbon
dioxide and exchange it for oxygen. Most arteries carry oxygenated blood away from heart to deliver
oxygen to body cells. The pulmonary vein travels towards the heart from the lungs carrying
oxygenated blood. Most veins travel towards the heart carrying deoxygenated blood.

c. carries digested food and waste throughout the body
4. ___c_____ Plasma
d. Creates blood clots using chemical fibrin to stop bleeding.
Digestive System-------There will be 1-2 questions about digestion on the test******
What is happening during digestion? (why do we need to digest food?)
-During digestion food is being broken down to smaller pieces both mechanically and chemically. The food has to
be smaller so that the body can continue to break it down to get the nutrients it needs from food (fats, proteins,
carbohydrates)
What are the two kinds of digestion and how do they differ from one another?
Chemical Digestion
The break down of food into molecules using chemicals
such as enzymes to change the food into nutrients body can
use.(a change in the food)
Mechanical Digstion
The physical break down of food into smaller pieces by an
applied force such as chewing or squeezing.
32. Name the locations of mechanical digestion- mouth (teeth), stomach
33. Name the locations of chemical digestion- mouth (saliva), stomach, small intestines
34. What is the pathway of food through the digestive system?
Mouth pharynx  esophagus  stomach  small intestines  large intestines  rectum  anus
35. What are villi?
Finger-like projections in the lining of the small intestine that increases the surface area available for absorption.
Food and nutrients are absorbed through the villi and into the bloodstream.
