The Brain
What are the 5 main parts of the digestive system?
Extra credit if you remember the 6th one

Liver
What are the three main types of muscles found in the body?
Smooth Muscles - digestive system, respiratory system (involuntary)
Cardiac Muscles - heart muscles that help pump blood (involuntary)
Skeletal Muscles - Help move bones (voluntary)

Oxygen is sent to the heart then it is transported to all parts of the body through the blood stream.
What are the major parts of the Circulatory system?
Heart- Lungs- Veins and Arteries
TRICK QUESTION: What body system does the nervous system control?
All of them
Skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive
Which body system works with the digestive system to help transport nutrients all throughout the body?
