circulatory and Respiratory system

• Kidneys filter blood to remove waste products from the body
• Each kidney is about the size of your fist
• The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the ribcage.
• The kidneys are located on either side of the spine, just below the ribcage.
• The liver produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder, it also stores glucose as glycogen and converts amino acids into proteins.
• Pancreas produce insulin that regulates blood sugar levels
• Blood flows into the kidneys through renal arteries and leaves via renal veins.
• Spleen filters blood and removes old red blood cells
• Glomerulus - A cluster of capillaries where filtration occurs.
• Nephron - the functional unit of the kidney that filters blood
• Nephron - The functional unit of the kidney that filters blood and produces urine.
• Thymus makes T lymphocytes (T cells) which fight infection
• Nephron - The functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering waste products from the blood.
• The spleen filters blood and removes old red blood cells.
• The pancreas secretes insulin and digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats and protein.
• Blood flows into the kidneys through renal arteries and leaves via renal veins.
• Thymus gland helps develop immune system
• Glomerulus - A cluster of capillaries within the nephron where filtration occurs.
• Lungs take oxygen out of air and put carbon dioxide back into air
• Bowman's capsule - Surrounds the glomerulus and collects filtered fluid.
• Adrenal glands release hormones such as adrenaline to prepare body for fight or flight response
• Bowman's capsule - The cup-shaped structure surrounding the glomerulus.
• Renal tubule - The part of the nephron that returns useful substances to the bloodstream and excretes waste products from the body.
• Pancreas produces hormones to control glucose levels and produce digestive juices
• The adrenal glands produce hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine.
• Pancreas - An organ located near the stomach that produces both digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin and glucagon.
• Air enters the body through the nostrils or mouth and passes down the trachea to reach the bronchi, which branch out into smaller tubes called bronchioles.
• Lungs are organs responsible for gas exchange between the body and the environment.
• The liver is involved in detoxification, metabolism, and storage functions.
• Spleen filters blood and destroys worn out RBC's
• Spleen - A soft, spongy organ located behind the stomach that helps to remove old or damaged red blood cells from circulation and stores platelets.
• Spleen - An organ involved in immune function, producing white blood cells and removing old or damaged red blood cells.
• The respiratory system consists of the nose, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleurae, diaphragm, and intercostal muscles.
• Proximal convoluted tubule - Transports absorbed substances to the loop of Henle.
• Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure at the beginning of each nephron.
• Liver - A large organ located on the right side of the abdominal cavity that plays multiple roles including producing bile, storing glycogen, detoxifying substances, and regulating metabolism.
• The thyroid gland regulates metabolic rate and growth.
• Loop of Henle - Helps regulate water balance by transporting salt and water.
• Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering waste products from the blood.
• Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering blood and producing urine.
