Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 200 Aorta Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 300 What are arteries? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 300 Arteries are vessels (tubes) that carry blood away from the heart. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 400 Explain the function of red blood cells. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 400 Red blood cells are the part of the blood that carries the oxygen to the cells of the body. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 500 Describe how blood moves through the circulatory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory System 500 Deoxygenated blood flows into the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava. It enters the right atrium and goes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. The blood then goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Oxygenated blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. It then travels through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From here it flows through the aorta to the rest of the body. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 100 Name the part of the heart. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 100 Pulmonary artery Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 200 What are the smallest of the vessels; they deliver oxygen and energy to the cells, and they connect the arteries and the veins? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 200 Capillaries Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 300 What are veins? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 300 Veins are vessels (tubes) that carry blood back to the heart. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 400 Explain the function of white blood cells. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 400 White blood cells are the part of the blood that fights bacterial and viral infections. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 500 Explain the purpose of the circulatory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Circulatory (part II) 500 The purpose of the circulatory system is to pump blood throughout the body; the blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 100 Name the part of the respiratory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 100 Bronchi Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 200 Name the part of the respiratory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 200 Alveoli Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 300 Explain what the epiglottis is. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 300 The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that closes over the trachea like a trapdoor; it makes sure food goes down the esophagus to the stomach (not down the trachea and into the lungs). Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 400 Explain what the diaphragm is. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 400 The diaphragm is the muscle below the lungs that helps a person inhale and exhale. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 500 Describe how a molecule of oxygen travels through the respiratory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory System 500 A molecule of oxygen first enters through your nose or mouth. Then, it goes down your pharynx/throat and into your windpipe, also known as your trachea. After that, the air molecule goes through the bronchi into your right or left lung. As it travels through the bronchioles, the carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged in the grape-like sacs called alveoli. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 100 Name the part of the respiratory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 100 Trachea Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 200 Name the part of the respiratory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 200 Diaphragm Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 300 Explain what alveoli are and what they do. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 300 The alveoli are little grape-like sacs inside the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 400 Explain what the bronchi are. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 400 The bronchi are tubes that branch off the trachea inside the lungs. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 500 Explain the purpose of the respiratory system. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Respiratory (part II) 500 The purpose of the respiratory system is to breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 100 What is the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 100 Esophagus Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 200 Where is the digestive system are enzymes and acids are added and food is churned? (Some digestion occurs there, too.) Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 200 Stomach Back to Jeopardy Game Board MoonDouble!!! Phases 300 Daily What is the purpose of the digestive system? Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 300 The purpose of the digestive system is break down food into energy and nutrients for the body. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 400 Explain what the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder do. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 400 The gall bladder, pancreas, and liver all produce enzymes that help break down food. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 500 Explain the two functions of the small intestine. Back to Jeopardy Game Board Digestive System 500 The small intestine is where: 1. Most digestion occurs 2. The energy and nutrients from the food are absorbed into the bloodstream Back to Jeopardy Game Board
