1. The digestive system has three accessory organs that aid food breakdown: Pancreas, liver and
... [Show More] gallbladder
2. The pancreas is the only organ with: Exorcine and endocrine functions
3. The exorcine function of the pancreas is to: Excrete digestive enzymes into
the small intestine
4. The enzymes include: Pancreatin, trypsin, maltase, amylase, and lipase
(P.T.M.A.L)
5. The liver has many important functions: - Produce bile
-Converts glucose to glycogen
- Stores fat soluble vitamins
- breaks toxins.
- Destroys old RBC
- synthesizes blood proteins
6. The liver produces: Cholesterol, coagulation, products and antibodies
7. The gallbladder located adjacent to the liver stores: Bile until needed in the
small intestine for digestion
8. Ball and socket joint: Ball like convex surface that fits into a concave shaped
socket.
Ex. Hip and shoulder joint
9. Three main types of blood vessels: Arteries, veins, capillaries
10. Arteries carry blood: Away from the heart *hint: away=anterior*
11. Veins carry blood: Back to the heart *hint veins=ventricular*
12. Capillaries: Carry blood between the arterial and venous vessels. *hint: capillaries=carry*
13. Blood is pumped from the heart to the: aorta
14. Arterioles: Aorta branches into other arteries which branch into smaller vessels
15. The blood moves from arterioles to: Microscopic capillaries
16. What is exchanged through the thin walls of the capillaries?: Gases,
nutrients, and wastes
17. Venules: Blood which gave up on oxygen flows from the capillaries into tiny
veins
18. Venules branch together to form: Larger veins

19. The blood is returned to the heart in the bodies...: Largest veins, superior
and inferior vena cava
20. With the exception of the pulmonary artery: Blood in the arteries is oxygenated
21. Except for the pulmonary vein: Blood in veins is deoxygenated
22. Arteries have a muscular layer of tissue that helps: Pump blood out of the
body
23. Veins have a much thinner: Muscular layer
24. Gravity and the muscles surrounding the veins help deliver: Blood back
to the heart
25. Veins have valves that prevent: Blood from flowing back, away from the heart
once it has moved forward
26. The brain is composed of: White and gray matter
27. Gray matter is made up of *brian: Neuron cell bodies and dendrites
28. White matter: Made up of bundles of nerve fibers (myelinated axons)
29. Largest area of the brain: Cerebrum
30. The cerebrum is divided into: Two hemispheres
31. The right hemisphere: Controls logical thinking processes
32. Left hemisphere: Controls creativity
33. Next largest segment of the brain: Cerebellum
34. Cerebellum: Helps control most of the muscle functions and movements of the
body
35. The brainstem connects the brain to the: Spinal cord
36. Three main areas of the brainstem: Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata
37. The midbrain and pons are a collection of: Nerves that branch off into other
areas and serve as an intersection.
38. Medulla oblongata controls: Breathing, cardiac rate, force of contraction of
the heart and dilation of blood vessels
39. Wedged between the midbrain and the cerebrum are: The thalamus and
hypothalamus
40. the hypothalamus and thalamus are active when: They produce chemical
reactions throughout the body, linking the nervous system to the endocrine system [Show Less]
