Section 2

(30 cards)

urinary system

Front

Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood. (Urethra, ureters, kidney)

Back

digestive system

Front

Breaks down food into smaller molecules. Absorbs these nutrients into the body. (Stomach, liver, rectum, esophagus)

Back

Lipids

Front

fats (store energy, structure, and hormones)

Back

Carbohydrates

Front

Broken down to glucose to provide energy.

Back

cardiovascular system

Front

Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood.

Back

Proteins

Front

Nutrients the body uses to build and maintain its cells and tissues

Back

epithelial tissue

Front

Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and cavities.

Back

reproductive system

Front

system of organs involved in producing offspring

Back

hydrogen bond

Front

Attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a slightly negative atom.

Back

nucleic acids

Front

DNA and RNA

Back

Control system

Front

Stimulus>receptor>afferent path>control center>efferent path>effector=response

Back

ionic bond

Front

A chemical bond resulting from the attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Back

skeletal system

Front

Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to support movement. Made up of bones and joints

Back

Translation

Front

Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced

Back

negative feedback

Front

a mechanism of response in which a stimulus initiates reactions that reduce the stimulus or shuts off original stimulus

Back

Respitory system

Front

the organ system that brings oxygen to body cells and removes waste gas (lungs, mouth)

Back

Tissue

Front

A group of similar cells that perform the same function.

Back

Properties of water

Front

universal solvent, cohesion, adhesion, high heat capacity

Back

universal solvent

Front

Dissolves into anything (Water).

Back

nervous system

Front

the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body. (Brain, nerves, spinal cord)

Back

immune system

Front

A system (including the thymus and bone marrow and lymphoid tissues) that protects the body from foreign substances and pathogenic organisms by producing the immune response
