3. Topic 1: 1 point What is the function of the circulatory system? The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. It brings wastes to the excretory organs.

4. Topic 1: 2 points Fill in the blank: The _____ are the collecting chambers of the heart and the _____ are the pumping chambers of the heart. The atria are the collecting chambers of the heart and the ventricles are the pumping chambers of the heart.

5. Topic 1: 3 points Explain how the circulatory system works with the endocrine system. The circulatory system brings the hormones made by the glands (endocrine system) throughout the body to target cells.

6. Topic 1: 4 points What are the three types of blood vessels and what do they do? The blood vessels are: Arteries – carry blood from heart to body Capillaries – small vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells; pick up wastes Veins – carry blood back to heart

7. Topic 1: 5 points Explain why the ventricles of the heart are more muscular than the atria. The atria only have to pump blood through the heart, while the ventricles have to pump the blood as far away as the feet so they need to be stronger.

8. Topic 2: 1 point What is the function of the immune system? The immune system helps maintain health by preventing and fighting of disease causing pathogens.

9. Topic 2: 2 points What are the four types of pathogens that can cause illness? The four types of pathogens are: Bacteria, Virus, Parasite, and Fungus.

10. Topic 2: 3 points What happens in your body when it is infected by a pathogen? The body develops antibodies that are specific to the pathogen and attempt to eliminate it from the body.

11. Topic 2: 4 points Explain how three other body systems help the immune system keep the body healthy. Three systems that help the immune system are: • Respiratory – Hairs and mucus trap pathogens before they enter the blood. • Digestive – Stomach acids kill pathogens before they enter the blood. • Integumentary – The skin provides a barrier preventing pathogens from entering the blood.

12. Topic 2: 5 points How are antibiotics and vaccines similar? How are they different? Antibiotics and vaccines are both medicines used to keep the body healthy when exposed to pathogens. While antibiotics are used to heal a person after a bacterial infection, vaccines are given before someone gets sick to prevent an infection from a virus.

13. Topic 3: 1 point What is the function and major parts of the integumentary system? The integumentary system provides a barrier for the body from the outside world. It is made up of the skin, hair, and nails.

14. Topic 3: 2 points What is the function and major parts of the endocrine system? The endocrine system produces chemicals that allow the body to react to changes in the body and environment. The major parts of the endocrine system are glands and hormones.

15. Topic 3: 3 points Fill in the blank. The _____ gland is known as the director of the endocrine system because it controls the other glands. The _____ glands are also pretty important because they produce over 30 hormones including adrenaline. The pituitary gland is known as the director of the endocrine system because it controls the other glands. The adrenal glands are also pretty important because they produce over 30 hormones including adrenaline.

16. Topic 3: 4 points Give three important steps necessary to keep the integumentary system healthy. In order to keep the integumentary system healthy, one should: • Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated. • Wear sunblock or cover the skin when out in the sun to prevent skin cancer. • Wash the skin regularly to remove unhealthy pathogens and buildups of oil , sweat, and dirt.

17. Topic 3: 5 points Explain how the endocrine and reproductive systems work together. The reproductive organs (ovaries and testes) are also considered glands in the endocrine system because they produce hormones. These hormones (testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen) are needed to produce the reproductive cells (egg and sperm).

18. Topic 4: 1 point What is the function of the nervous system? The nervous system controls the functions of the body and allows it to respond to its environment.

19. Topic 4: 2 points The body is made up of billions of nerve cells that send and receive messages. What name do we give to these nerves cells? Nerve cells are called neurons.

20. Topic 4: 3 points Fill in the blank. The _____ nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The _____ nervous system is made up of the peripheral (surrounding) nerves. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of the peripheral nerves.

21. Topic 4: 4 points Give a stimulus for each of the five senses that are everyday occurrences and cause you to react and are NOT life threatening. Examples of stimuli: Hearing: 7:30 bell rings Sight: teacher passing out papers Smell: pizza cooking in cafeteria Touch: bug lands on arm Taste: put Sour Patch Kids in mouth

Your breathing is mostly autonomic so you can focus on other things, however, we can choose to hold our breath when swimming.

23. Topic 5: 1 point What is the function of the reproductive system? The reproductive system produces the cells needed to create offspring.

24. Topic 5: 2 points What are the reproductive cells of the male and female? The reproductive cells of the male are sperm and egg for female.

25. Topic 5: 3 points The joining of the egg and sperm to create an eventual embryo is called _____. The joining of the egg and sperm to create an eventual embryo is called fertilization.

26. Topic 5: 4 points In what ways is the reproductive system different from all other body systems? The reproductive system is unique because males and females have different organs. The reproductive system is not fully developed at birth. The reproductive system is not necessary for everyday functioning of the body.

27. Topic 5: 5 points How are an embryo and a fetus similar? How are they different? An embryo and a fetus are both stages of development of a baby before birth. However, the embryo stage is the name of the first 8 weeks while the fetus stage lasts from 9 weeks to birth.

30. Topic 6: 3 points Fill in the blank. ____ immunity is received from another source such as through a mother’s milk. _____ immunity is created by the body such as the body making antibodies to the flu virus. Passive immunity is received from another source such as through a mother’s milk. Active immunity is created by the body such as the body making antibodies to the flu virus.

31. Topic 6: 4 points Give three activities that can lead to addiction. (Give behaviors not consumables.) The body can develop addictions to: Gambling, Gaming/Internet, Physical love, Shopping.
