Levels of Organization
The smallest level of organization
What is "a cell"?
Organ that produces testosterone.
What is "the testes"?
The two body systems that work together for movement. (Not including the nervous system).
What is "the muscular system and the skeletal system"?
Releases hormones
What is "the endocrine system"?
The process of maintaining stable internal conditions to ensure an organism is functioning optimally
What is "homeostasis"?
A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
What is "a tissue"?
Organ that produces estrogen and progesterone
The five body systems (that we have discussed so far in class) that help maintain homeostasis.
What is "the endocrine, nervous, reproductive, skeletal, and muscular systems"?
Protects internal organs and produces red and white blood cells.
What is "the skeletal system"?
The endocrine system relies on _______ messengers called hormones to regulate processes and send signals, while the nervous system uses _______ signals to send messages throughout the body.
What is "chemical" and "electrical"?
Different kinds of tissues that perform a specific function.
What is "an organ"?
The hormone that causes facial hair growth and sperm production.
What is "testosterone"?
Three ways that the ____ system helps maintain homeostasis by working with other organ systems is by (1) causing you to shiver when you are too cold, (2) helping circulate blood, and (3) moving food and waste throughout the body. (Hint: not looking for the nervous system!)
What is "the muscular system"?
Controls growth and development.
What is "the endocrine system"?
Consider your body's withdrawal reflex (involuntary reaction that protects the body from damaging stimuli). For example, you might withdraw your hand if it's burned. Which two body systems are responsible for reflexes?
What is "the nervous system and the muscular system"?
An organ and a tissue are made up of the same type of ____ to perform a specific function.
What is "a cell"?
The hormone influenced by the female monthly cycle and responsible for the development of the female reproductive system.
What is "the respiratory system provides oxygen to the circulatory system, which delivers it throughout the body"?
The body system that coordinates and/or influences the activity of all other parts of the body.
What is "the nervous system"?
Provide one example of how your body works to maintain homeostasis.
What is "shivering to produce heat"?
List the five levels of organization from smallest to largest.
What is "cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organism"?
Hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy
What is "progesterone"?
Describe the relationship between the nervous system and the muscular system.
What is "The nervous system system coordinates the actions of the muscular system and tells muscles how to react to stimuli, and the muscular system carries out the instructed movements"?
Receives information from outside the body and responds to it
What is "the nervous system"?
Emma was cooking in the kitchen when she accidentally touched a hot pan. Her nervous system helped her quickly pull her hand away before she got seriously burned.
These are the events that occurred:
A) A signal travels through a motor neuron.
B) Sensory neurons detect the stimuli.
C) The signal travels to Emma’s hand muscles.
D) The signal travels to the spinal cord.
E) The signal travels to the interneurons.
What is "B → D → E → A → C"?
