  • True or false: We can detect flavours with our skin.
    False
  • What joins bones together at the joints?
    Ligaments
  • These detect special chemicals in the things that we eat or drink.
    Taste buds
  • This part of the ear detects vibrations and then creates nerve impulses
    Cochlea
  • True or false: eardrum vibrations causes small bones in the ear to vibrate too.
    True
  • Responsible for balance, movement and coordination
    Cerebellum
  • What connects the brain to the rest of the body?
    Spinal cord
  • What part of the skeletal system is shown in the picture?
    Skull
  • What muscle is this?
    Trapezius
  • Give four types of tastes that our tongue can detect.
    sweet, salty, bitter, sour
  • What is the small hole that lets light into the eye?
    Pupil
  • True or false: The lens projects an upside-down image onto our retina.
    True.
  • These are electric signals sent by the nerve cells.
    Nerve impulses
  • This system allows us to move and perform voluntary and involuntary actions.
    Locomotor system
  • These are hard and solid on the outside and sponge-like on the inside.
    Bones
  • True or false: Smells are made up of gases in the air.
    True
  • What opens and closes the pupil?
    Iris
  • What detect the gases and send nerve impulses to the olfactory nerve?
    Olfactory cells
  • This system gives support and stability to the body as it protects the vital organs
    Skeletal system
  • Largest and most complex part of the brain
    Cerebrum
  • What are the three layers of the skin?
    Epidermis, dermis, fatty layer
  • True or false: the olfactory nerve transmits the impulses to the mouth
    False
  • Nerves that detect the nerve impulses sent by the taste buds
    Gustatory nerves
  • This is a nervous tissue that detects light and colours and sends information to the optic nerve.
    Retina
  • This vibrates when sound waves hit it.
    Eardrum
  • These attach muscles to bones
    Tendons
  • What is the function of the skin?
    To feel pressure, temperature and textures
  • True or false: the skeletal muscle is an involuntary muscle.
    False (smooth and cardiac)
  • These make up the nerve tissue; these transmit electrochemical messages from one to another.
    Nerve cells
  • What bone is shown in the picture?
    Femur
