Instruction: Answer correctly the following questions below.

The Scientific 1. It is the logical process of learning facts through observation and
Process experimentation from which certain conclusion or theories are
drawn
Urinary System 2. It filters metabolic wastes from the bloodstream and controls the
ionic composition of the blood.
Bone 3. A dynamic tissue composed of many kinds of cell. Blood vessels
passing through channels of it brings oxygen and nutrients to the
cell.
Respiratory System 4. It captures oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Cytoplasm 5. A jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles
are located. Where the action takes place, where the nutrients are
used.
Parathyroids 6. Regulate calcium metabolism and bone building.
Nuclear membrane 7. It is the membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
Nucleolus 8. An organelle within the nucleus- it is where ribosomal RNA is
produced. Some cells have more than one nucleolus.
Urine 9. The residual unabsorbed fluid that contains the body’s waste.
Circulatory System 10. It contains the network of blood vessels that connects the organs
and muscles of the body. It transport food and nutrients, oxygen-
bearing red blood cells, and defensive immune system cells.
Kidneys 11. It plays a crucial role in waste removal and water retention.
Cerebrum 12. Responsible for learning, memory and thought.
Joint 13. A place at which two bones meet. Allow your trunk to twist or
your limbs to move.
Cell wall 14. Supports and protects the cell. It consists of a mixture of proteins
and carbohydrates, including the polysaccharide cellulose
Cell 15. The outer layer of the skin is called _________________.
Fallopian Tubes 16. It connects the ovaries to the uterus.
Central vacuole 17. It stores water and may contain many substances, including ions,
nutrients and wastes.
Ligaments 18. It is a strong fibers that hold bones together.
Vacuole 19. It is a fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell.
Smooth endoplasmic 20. A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and
reticulum convoluted tubes that are located in the cells cytoplasm (the ER is
continuous with the outer nuclear membrane)
Ribosome 21. Small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that
are sites of protein synthesis.
Blood 22. A protein-rich fluid in which many kinds of cells are suspended.
Muscular System 23. It is composed of smooth muscles that line the blood vessels and
hollow internal organs, such as digestive tract and skeletal
muscles.
Human skin 24. It has 10 to 30 cells thick.
Spinal cord 25. It carries input from sensory nerves to the brain and transmits
command from the brain to the motor nerves.
Mitochondrion 26. It is a spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane.
Golgi body 27. A flattened, layered sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of
pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It produces the
membranes that surround the lysosomes.
Nucleus 28. It is a spherical body containing many organelles, including the
nucleolus
Immune System 29. It composed of defensive white blood cells that circulate in the
bloodstream and line the lymphatic system.
Cell membrane 30. It is semi permeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell
and blocking others.
Centrosome 31. A small body located near the nucleus – it has a dense center and
radiating tubules.
Cerebellum 32. Receives information from the sense organs, muscles, joints, and
inner ears.
Capillaries 33. The one that connects the arteries to veins.
 Pancrease 34. Control levels of glucose in the blood.
Endocrine System 35. The system uses chemical signals called hormones to coordinate
and integrate the activities of the body.
Nerve Impulses 36. A short-lived electrical disturbance that passes rapidly along a
neuron.
Hypothalamus 37. It controls the commands that the pituitary issues to the endocrine
system like an army general controls the order that a captain issues
to the troops.
Integumentary 38. It covers and protects the body.
System
Hormones 39. A chemical messenger molecules that are manufactured in a small
quantity in one part of the body and then transported through the
bloodstream to another location, where they bring about a
physiological response.
Diaphragm 40. A thick layer of muscle that separates the thoracic cavity,
containing the lungs, from the abdominal cavity, containing the
digestive organs.

Part II. Choose one human body system; enumerate all organs and components that constitute
to this system with their corresponding roles and function. Use the template below.
System: MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Major Organs Function
1.SMOOTH MUSCLE Smooth muscle
 It can be organized into sheet of tissue. In some smooth muscles, such as
those that line the walls of many blood vessels, visceral organs (such as the
digestive tract and uterus) and are also found attached to hairs in the
integument.

2. SKELETAL MUSCLE Skeletal muscle

 Skeletal muscles are closely associated with the skeleton and are used in
locomotion. It can function in these different ways because it has a
different kinds of fibers. Muscles that contract rapidly have a fast but
inefficient metabolism, while muscles that contract slowly have a slower
but more efficient metabolism. The fibers are closely associated with
connective tissues that are under voluntary control by the nervous system.

Cardiac muscle
2. CARDIAC MUSCLE  Cardiac muscle is found only in your heart. It’s the type of muscle that
allows our heart to beat. Similar to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is
organized into fibers and has a striated appearance. Individual cardiac
muscle cells are closely connected to each other, which helps enable our
heart to beat in a coordinated fashion. The cardiac muscle does not fatigue
readily, which is a desirable trait in the muscles that maintain circulation of
 blood

Minor Organs Function

1. FACIAL MUSCLE  To steady and move the head and to move facial features such as the
eyebrows, eyelids, and lips, the muscles of the face, head and neck interact.
This means, that some facial muscles are joined to each other. Many of
these muscles have their other end inserted into deeper layers of the skin.
The advantage of this complex system is that even a slight degree of
muscle contraction produces movement of the face’s skin, which reveals
itself as a show of expression or emotion.

2.PECTORALIS  The pectoralis muscles are found on each side of your upper chest. These

MUSCLES are usually called pectorals. When many boys hit puberty, their pectoral
muscles become larger. Many athletes and bodybuilders have large has this
kind of muscles. Below these pectorals, down under our ribcage, are
our rectus abdominis muscles, or abdominals also known as abs for short

3. DELTOID MUSCLE  In each of your shoulders is a deltoid muscle. Our deltoid muscles help you
move our shoulders every way from swinging a softball bat to shrugging
your shoulders when you're not sure of an answer.
