General Science: Module 14 Study Guide
Where is hemoglobin found?
In the red blood cells.
What is the red cell's function?
It carries oxygen to the other cells in the body.
What purpose does the heart serve?
It pumps blood through the circulatory system.
Where are vocal cords found?
Larynx
When oxygenated blood comes into the heart, what chamber does it fill?
Left atrium
Name the chambers of the heart.
Left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle.
Once oxygenated blood comes back into the heart, it is then transferred to another chamber. What chamber is that?
Left ventricle
When deoxygenated blood leaves the heart, through where does it go?
Lungs
Where are bronchiole tubes found?
Lungs
What makes up more than half your blood?
Plasma
Name the three types of blood cells.
Red blood cell, white blood cell, and blood platelets.
When deoxygenated blood is returning to the heart, which chamber does it enter?
Right atrium
After entering the heart, the deoxygenated blood is then transferred to a second chamber. What chamber is that?
Right ventricle
What are alveoli?
Small sacs at the end of tiny bronchiole
What controls the volume of the sound produced by the vocal cords?
The amount of air.
What happens in the alveoli?
The blood gets oxygenated and gives up waste products there.
What purpose do the lungs serve?
The lungs oxygenate the blood and allow the blood to get rid of carbon dioxide.
What controls the pitch of the sound?
The tightness of the vocal cords.
What is the white blood cell's function?
They fight pathogenic organisms.
Capillaries
Tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and cells and are located between arteries and veins.
What is the blood platelet's function?
To assist the blood clotting process.
Are there any exceptions to this general rule?
Yes
A sample of fluid is taken from a tube within a plant, If it's mostly water, which was it taken from: a xylem of phloem tube.
xylem
What is hemoglobin?
A protein that carries oxygen.
What travels through bronchiole tubes?
Air
When oxygenated blood leaves the heart, through what artery does it travel first?
Aorta
Arteries
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Veins
Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart.
Where are blood cells produced?
Bone marrow
In what kind of blood vessels does the blood transfer oxygen to the cells and pick up wastes?
Capillaries
What kind of blood vessels surround the alveoli?
Capillaries
Most veins carry what kind of blood?
Deoxygenated blood
What is special about a four-chambered heart as compared to a three-chambered heart or a two chambered heart? heart?
A four-chambered heart is more efficient.
How many chambers are in the human heart?
four chambers
When you inhale, air travels through the following parts of the respiratory system...
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes, and alveoli.
