Body Systems
This body system carries nutrients from digested food to cells throughout the body
What is the circulatory system
The process of keeping the body's internal environment stable
What is homeostasis?
The smallest level of biological organization
What is the cell?
This organ absorbs nutrients from digested food into the bloodstream
What is the small intestines?
This system sends signals that help control the body's responses
What is the nervous system?
These two body systems work together to allow you to move your body
What are the muscular and nervous systems?
What you should do when you enter the class.
What is go to your seat and take out your notebook?
Put these in order from simplest to most complex: organ, cell, organism, tissue, organ system
What is cell → tissue → organ → organ system → organism?
This system removes excess water from the body?
What is the excretory system?
This type of reproduction requires DNA from two parents
What is sexual reproduction?
These three systems work together when you flex your arm
What are the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems?
This is what you should do when you receive a paper handout in class.
What is glue it into your notebook and add a title/date/page number?
A group of similar cells working together forms what level of organization
What is a tissue?
These two systems work together to remove excess water from the body
What is the excretory system and the circulatory system?
Your bladder sends sensory information to your brain, telling you that you need to urinate. These two body systems are primarily involved.
What are the nervous and excretory systems?
These 2 body systems are communicating when your brain sends signals to your muscles telling them to move.
What are the nervous and muscular systems?
The correct actions when you finish your test early
What is read a book, put my head down on my desk or sit quietly until all students have completed the test?
An organ is made of tissues working together. This level comes immediately after an organ.
What is an organ system?
A student eats lunch. Nutrients are absorbed into the blood and then carried to body cells. These two systems are working together
A person touches something painful and immediately pulls their hand away. This system receives the sensory information, and this system produces the movement.
What are the nervous system and muscular system?
A student touches a hot stove and quickly pulls their hand away. Identify the three body systems involved in this response and explain what each one does.
What are the integumentary, nervous, and muscular systems? The skin detects the stimulus, the nervous system processes the information, and the muscles respond by moving the hand.
Panting helps a dog maintain homeostasis on a hot day. Explain how this happens.
What is panting causes moisture to evaporate, which cools the blood; the body then adjusts urine output to help manage water loss?
A student's body contains cells that form tissues, tissues that form organs, and organs that work together. Explain why an organism is considered the highest level in this sequence.
What is an organism is made of organ systems working together to carry out all the functions needed to sustain life?
A dog loses water while panting. Why does the excretory system need to adjust the amount of urine it produces?
What is the body needs to regulate water loss and maintain a stable internal environment?
A student says, "The nervous system only controls movements that we choose to make." Is this correct? Use an example to explain your answer.
No. The nervous system is involved in both voluntary and involuntary activities. For example, it helps control voluntary muscle movement and also helps regulate processes such as heart rate.
