Third Period 6.1.1 Body Systems by Darlene Seifert https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1 Functions and effect on Anna en-us 2019-05-13 18:40:24 UTC 2025-10-25 16:20:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Digestive System https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359893869 Function : breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body
Colon - reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination
Esophagus - It forms an important piece of the gastrointestinal tract and functions as the conduit for food and liquids
Liver - main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract
Gall Bladder - store and concentrate bile and digestive enzyme
Pancreas - helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar
Diabetes - The pancreas doesn't work when someone has diabetes thus, the blood sugar is not regulated
______________________
Sickle Cell Anemia - The low count of red blood cells causes significant damage on the liver
Heart Disease - No effect
UTI - No effect ]]> 2019-05-14 13:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359893869 Urinary System https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359894701 FUNCTION: 
eliminates waste from the body. It regulates the present water levels, and maintains balance in your blood. 
STRUCTURES:
Bladder- storage for urine
Kidney- Maintains fluid balance; filters blood
Urethras- carries waste fluid from inside the urinary bladder to outside the body.

Brain: Controls our thoughts in our body.
Brain Stem: controls the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
Ear: transmits sound to the brain.
Eye: Transmits light and sight to the brain.
Nerves: Transmits signal to the rest of the body and its organ.
Ol Factory cells: Sense of smell
Spinal Cord: Connects the brain to the rest of the body.
Taste Buds: Sense of taste

Aorta- the largest artery in the body. it pumps/carries a lot of oxygen rich blood to most of the major organs via the abdominal aortic branch
 
Arteries-the tubes that push oxygen rich blood to places in the body from the heart. Arteries carry blood Away

Arterioles-small blood vessels that help blood from the main arteries get to the capillaries so that the cells can accept the oxygen from the blood cells

Atrium-]]> 2019-05-14 13:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359895474 Digestive System 2021brendantabor https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359895549 Teeth- Rip food apart and allow us to make it small enough to eat.

Salivary Glands - Helps keep the mouth and other parts of the digestive system moist. They also help break down carbohydrates.

Stomach- Receives food from the esophagus. The stomach secretes acid that allows it to break down food.

Tongue- Vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as speech and taste.

Small Intestine-  Absorbs nutrients and minerals from food using protrusions called villi]]> 2019-05-14 13:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359895549 Immune system 2021elizabethroth https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/359899118 function: attack organisms & substances that invade the body- protects the body.
________________
t-cell: destroy infected cells
b-cell: make antibodies
lymph node: acts as a filter for foreign particles and cancer cells
spleen: filter blood
thymus: helps train and develop T Cells
phagocytes: white blood cells that protect the body by engulfing bacteria, includes macrophages
skin: physical barrier, throughout layer of skin there are multiple cells from the immune system
________________
diabetes: more likely to get infection and can weaken immune system
sickle cell: weaken immune system
heart disease: triggers the immune system to release a certain molecule
UTI: triggers immune system

Structure of Respiratory:Nasal cavity, bronchial tubes, and trachea make up the path to carry the air into the lungs. Then the Lungs take the oxygen and use the oxygen around the body. The lungs then use the alveoli. The alveoli allows the body to carry oxygen around the blood stream and lungs. ]]> 2019-05-16 13:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360769723 Hear 2022ellakleiman https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360770591 2019-05-16 13:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360770591 cardiovascular system pt. 2 2022ellakleiman https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360770631 heart- pumps blood throughout the body via the circulatory system

superior vena cava-  return the deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation to the right atrium. 

Vein- responsible for returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart. ]]> 2019-05-16 13:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360770631 cardiovascular system 2022mckaylahflagle https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360771060 atrium- is at the top of the heart, passes blood to the ventricles, and receives blood from the pulmonary veins and the superior/inferior vena cavas. there is a left and right atrium. 
blood- liquid that circulates through the arteries and veins. it carries oxygen to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues. 
capillaries- small branching blood vessels between the arterioles and venules. ]]> 2019-05-16 13:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dseifert/n50cem3nesr1/wish/360771060
