Body systems TEAS exam
Circulatory system - ✅✅ -The human body system that contians the heart, blood,
and all of the blood vessels. It delivers all the nutrients to the cells.
Arteries - ✅✅-Blood wessels that transport blood away from the heart to the
capillaries.
Veins - ✅✅-Blood vessels that transport bloon from the capillaries back to the
heart.
Capillaries - ✅✅ -Tiny blood vessels that transport blood from arteries to veins
within the body. Also serve as he location for the exchange of oxygen,carbon
dioxide, fluid and nutrients within the body.
The heart consists of 4 chambers. - ✅✅-The right and left ATRIUMS and the right
and left VENTRICLES.
Heart valves - ✅✅ -Structures within the heart that open and close with the
heartbeat to regulate the one-way flow of blood.
Tricuspid and Pulmonary valves. - ✅✅-Right side of heart.
✅✅-Left side of heart.
Mitral and Aortic valves. -
How the heart works. - ✅✅-Enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena
cava. Blood travels to RIGHT atrium then flows through tricuspid valve into the right
ventricle. The blood is then pushed through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary
artery and lungs when the right ventrical contracts. Picks up oxygen. Oxygenated
blood is then carried back to the heart by the pulmonary veins into the left atrium
through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle. Contraction of the left ventricle
forces the blood through the aortic valve, through the aorta and out of the entire
body.
Respiratory system - ✅✅ -System responsible for taking in oxygen and releasing
carbon dioxide using the lungs.
Trachea - ✅✅-Windpipe; tube through which air moves.
Bronchial tubes - ✅✅-Small respiratory passages that connect the trachea to the
lungs.
Cilia - ✅✅ -Tiny hairs that keep the airway clear my removing unwanted matter
from the lungs.
, ✅✅-tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles`
Alveoli -
Diaphragm - ✅✅-Abdonimal muscle that contracts and pulls air into the lungs
during inspirtation.
Inspiration -✅✅-The act of taking in oxygenated air.
Expiration - ✅✅-When the diaphragm relaxes, carbon dioxide is forced out of the
body through this.
Alveoli - ✅✅
-It is through the walls of the _______ that oxygen and carbon dioxide
move in and out of the capillaries in the lungs.
Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide - ✅✅-The respiratory system supplies the body with ____
and removes ______.
Diaphragm relaxes - ✅✅-What happends during inspiration?
Central nervous system and Peripheral nervous system. - ✅✅-Two parts of the
nervous system.
Central Nervous System CNS - ✅✅-The brain and the spinal cord.
Peripheral Nervous System - ✅✅-The sensory and motor neurons that connect the
CNS to the rest of the body. Divided into autonomic nervous system and
sensory-somatic nervous system.
Autonomic Nervous System - ✅✅ -The part of the Peripheral Nervous System that
controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its
sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.
Sensory-somatic Nervous System - ✅✅ -A part of the PNS that consists of 12 pairs
of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves and is associated with ganglia
(collections of nerve cells bodies). It controls voluntary actions like talking and
walking.
Dendrites - ✅✅-Branchlike parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive
information.
✅✅-Cell that carries messages throughout the nervous system.
Neurons -
Axon - ✅✅-Connects one neuron with another neuron over a fluid filled gap called
a synapse.
