1. Explain why the cells below look different from one another.
Nerve cell
2. Muscular and Skeletal Systems
The skeletal and muscular systems work together to support the body and allow for movement. The skeletal system also makes blood cells and protects vital organs.
Bones are living organs that are made up of and have blood vessels and nerves that run through them. They are light because they have a .
The five functions of the skeletal system are: movement, shape and support, store minerals, produce _________________, and __________________________ organs. Muscles always work in . One muscle while the other relaxes.
3. Circulatory System
The circulatory system carries needed substances (oxygen and nutrients) to cells and carries waste products (CO2) away from cells. It also helps fight disease.
Blood is made up of plasma, , white blood cells and platelets.
Red blood cells carry to body cells and ___________ __________________away from body cells.
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called
Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are called
are the tiny blood vessels where gas exchange happens.
Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the capillaries in the lungs. When oxygen rich blood returns from the lungs it enters the ______ _______ of the heart (atria and ventricle) to get pumped out the aorta to the
4. Label the parts of the heart.
The correct sequence that blood takes as it travels through the body is below:
__________ (right side) ( lungs( heart (_________ side) ( to ___________
5. Respiratory System
The respiratory system moves oxygen from the outside air into the body and removes the waste products carbon dioxide and water from the body.
Air is a mixture mostly made up of two gases and
Human use the from the air we breathe for
Air goes in the nasal passages and travels down the tube called the
The trachea splits into smaller and smaller tubes. At the ends of the smallest tubes are the
, tiny air sacs where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged. When a person exercises his/her heart rate increases to bring more and glucose to their muscle cells.
6.
Glucose + Oxygen Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water
The chemical equation above represents the process of
Circle the organic molecule that is broken down for energy in this process:
carbohydrate protein lipid vitamin
Circle the major waste product of respiration in cells:
sugar carbon dioxide oxygen nitrogen
7. Look at the graph below. On the left is a description of Bob’s motion and speed. On the right, describe what Bob’s heart rate would look like at each position. (increasing, decreasing or remaining the same)
Describing Motion Describing Heart Rate
|Part |Description of Bob’s direction and speed |
| |Moving slowly 1 m/s away from starting point |
| |Increase speed 8 m/s away from starting point |
| |Standing still for 3 seconds |
| |Slowly 10/7.5 m/s (1.3 m/s) returning to starting point |
| |Moving past starting point fast 20 m/s |

Why does Bob’s heart rate increase while exercising?
8. Digestive System
The digestive system breaks down food into nutrient molecules the body can use, absorbs the molecules into the blood, and eliminates waste products.
List the six nutrients the human body needs for survival:
9. Complete the chart with the name of the nutrient:
Organic Nutrient Molecules that Provide Calories
|Name of Molecule |Function |Foods Found In |
| |Main source of energy for the body |pasta, bread, cereal, grains |
| |Builds cellular materials |fish, meats, eggs, beans, nuts, peanut butter |
| |Stores energy and dissolve vitamins |butter, ice cream, cheese, oils |
10. List the sequence of organs in the order the food travels through the digestive tract:
11. In the mouth, bite and crush the food and the enzyme amylase found in
begins to break down the carbohydrate starch into
In the esophagus, peristalsis, ____________ ________________, squeezes the food down to the stomach. The churning of the stomach along with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) and the enzyme break down . The thick paste then goes to the small intestine. Most of the ______________ digestion (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) happens in the small intestine. Nutrients are absorbed through the villi into the blood vessels and are carried to the body cells. The liver produces which is secreted into the small intestine and breaks ________ in food down into small droplets. In the large intestine,
is absorbed and the left over substances are formed into a solid form to be eliminated from the body as waste through the anus.
12. Complete the following chart by
• Putting an “X” in each box where mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, or absorption occurs.
• Listing the enzyme(s) found in each digestive organ.
• Listing any other important parts or facts about each organ.
|Part |Mechanical |Chemical Digestion |Absorption |Enzyme(s) |Other |

Nervous System
The nervous system receives information about what is happening to the body and directs the way the body responds to this information.
Cells that carry information through your nervous system are called
A picks up a stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve impulse. The nerve impulse travels through nerves to the
that then carries the impulse to the brain. The brain interprets the impulse and sends a message to the that tell the muscles to contract. A is an automatic response that takes place very fast. In a reflex action, the is not involved. The impulses travel from the __________ neuron to the spinal cord and then back to the ___________ neurons. In order for the body to perform a reflex action the ___________________ and _____________________ systems must work together.
13. Endocrine System
are chemicals that carry messages throughout the body. Hormones are produced by glands of the endocrine system.
The pancreas produces a hormone known as . Not making this any of enough of this hormone results in a disease called diabetes.
14. Excretory System
The remove carbon dioxide waste from blood.
The filter out waste products (urea from the breakdown of proteins and extra water) from the blood. These wastes are eliminated in urine.
Part Two: Brief Constructed Responses
DIRECTIONS
Carefully read the BCR item. Write your response to the BCR, Function of Digestion, in the space provided on your answer sheet.
BCR #1: FUNCTION OF DIGESTION
The function of the digestive system is to break down food into small nutrient molecules. The nutrient molecules are absorbed into the blood and carried to the cells of your body. You eat a slice of pizza for lunch. Your pizza consists of bread, tomato sauce, and cheese. The pizza will travel through your digestive system. Some parts of the pizza will be mechanically digested, and some will be chemically digested in different digestive organs.
Describe what will happen to the pizza as it travels through the digestive system from beginning to end. In your response be sure to
• Include the names of the different digestive organs.
• Identify the types of nutrient molecules.
• Explain what happens to the different parts of the pizza along the way.
Remember that this item will be scored using the MSA Science Rubric. Your response will be scored for completeness, synthesis of information, and accurate use of terms.
Use the following graphic organizer to help you organizer your response. You may not use it during the test.
BCR #2: MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS
Cells in a multicellular organism must be constantly supplied with oxygen and important nutrients to remain alive and healthy. At the same time, waste products are constantly removed from the cells. To accomplish this, the organs and systems of the body must function together, continuously interacting with each other.
A MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM
Suppose you decide to enter a bicycle race. How would the organs and systems of the body interact with each other? In your response be sure to
• Identify the names of two or more systems that will interact.
• Explain how your heart and lungs will work together to meet the needs of your muscle cells as you ride, so that you can successfully compete in the race.

Mechanical digestion- the physical process of breaking food into smaller pieces. (The pieces could be put back together).
Chemical digestion- the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones. (The final product is not the same as the original molecule. It cannot be returned to the original molecule).
Absorption- the process by which nutrient molecules pass through the wall of the digestive system into the blood.
