Organ System Functions
This system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
What is the Digestive System?
The heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries
The Circulatory System
The type of disease you can catch from someone else, touching a contaminated surface, or by consuming contaminated water/food.
Infectious
Situation: During physical activity, your muscles require more oxygen to sustain movement.
Question: Which two body systems are working together to meet this increased oxygen demand?
Non-living pathogen
Viruses
This system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
What is the circulatory (cardiovascular) system?
The lungs, trachea, bronchi, and alveoli
Respiratory System
The type of pathogen that can be fought using antibiotics
Bacteria
Situation: After consuming a meal, nutrients from the food need to reach various cells in your body.
Question: Which two body systems are collaborating to distribute these nutrients?
Circulatory and Respiratory
Kidneys and bladder are organs of this system
Excretory
This system is responsible for bringing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
What is the respiratory system?
Skin, hair, and nails
Integumentary System
List all 5 pathogens that can infect the human body.
1. Bacteria
2. Viruses
3. Protists
4. Fungi
5. Parasites
Situation: After running, you notice sweat on your skin.
Question: Which two body systems are collaborating to remove waste from your body?
Integumentary and Excretory
The first line of defense against pathogens includes which parts of your body?
skin, hair, cilia, mucus, stomach, mouth
These 2 systems are responsible for movement, protection, and structure.
What are the muscular and skeletal systems?
Esophagus, Mouth, Small Intestine, Stomach
Digestive System
The 2nd line of defense. Includes macrophages, swelling, and fever.
Inflammatory Response
Which two systems work to protect you from pathogens?
Integumentary and Immune
Where does digestion begin?
The mouth
In the correct order, name the TWO systems responsible for:
1. Sending and receiving electrical signals in the body
2. Producing and sending chemical signals throughout the body
1. Nervous System
2. Endocrine System
White blood cells, spleen, lymph nodes
Immune System
B-cells Produce these to mark pathogens for destruction
antibodies
Situation: You haven't eaten all day, and you start to feel hungry.
Question: Which two body systems are interacting to signal hunger?
Nervous and Endocrine
Explain the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles.
Voluntary muscles require conscious thought for use, involuntary muscles are automatic.
