Year 9 Science Quiz: Body Processes

Instructions

Read each question carefully and provide a detailed answer. Each question is based on a described image concerning body processes.


Questions

  1. The image of a human digestive system diagram showing the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
    Describe the role of the stomach in the digestive process.

  2. The image of a human respiratory system, highlighting the lungs, diaphragm, trachea, and alveoli.
    Explain how oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the alveoli.

  3. The image of a human circulatory system, featuring the heart, arteries, and veins with blood flow directions marked.
    Describe the function of the heart in the circulatory system.

  4. The image of a human nervous system highlighting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves branching out.
    Discuss the role of the spinal cord in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

  5. The image of a human integumentary system, showing skin layers, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
    Explain how the skin helps regulate body temperature.


Correct Answers

  1. The stomach plays a critical role in breaking down food using gastric juices and muscle contractions, transforming it into a semi-liquid form called chyme for further digestion in the small intestine.

  2. In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses from the air sacs into the blood within capillaries, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.

  3. The heart functions as a pump that circulates blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells while removing waste products.

  4. The spinal cord serves as a major pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body, facilitating reflex actions and communication.

  5. The skin aids in regulating body temperature through processes such as sweating and adjusting blood flow to the skin's surface, promoting heat loss or retention.
