Body System Interactions
What two systems work together to bring oxygen to the body's cells?
The respiratory and circulatory systems.
This disease affects the respiratory system, making breathing difficult due to narrowed airways.
Asthma
This system transports oxygen-rich blood to the body.
The circulatory system.
I pump blood to your entire body. What am I?
The heart.
What two systems work together to bring oxygen to the body's cells?
The respiratory and circulatory systems.
This system breaks down food, while this system transports nutrients to cells.
The digestive and circulatory systems.
This system is attacked in Type 1 diabetes, preventing insulin production.
The endocrine system
The primary function of the kidneys is to filter this from the blood.
Waste
I’m the largest organ in your body and help regulate temperature. What am I?
The skin.
This system breaks down food, while this system transports nutrients to cells.
The digestive and circulatory systems.
The nervous system sends signals to this system to control voluntary movement.
The muscular system.
A condition where bones become weak and brittle, often affecting older adults.
Osteoporosis
The small intestine absorbs nutrients, while this organ produces bile to aid digestion.
The liver.
I store and break down food in an acidic environment before it moves to the intestines.
The stomach.
The nervous system sends signals to this system to control voluntary movement.
The muscular system.
What two systems interact to regulate body temperature?
The integumentary (skin) and nervous systems.
This disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells.
Autoimmune disease
The purpose of red blood cells is to carry this essential gas.
Oxygen
I control all voluntary and involuntary actions in your body.
The Brain.
What two systems interact to regulate body temperature?
The integumentary (skin) and nervous systems.
This system works with the immune system by producing white blood cells in the bone marrow.
The skeletal system.
This nervous system disorder leads to memory loss and cognitive decline, common in older adults.
Alzheimer’s disease.
The brain controls reflex actions through this part of the nervous system.
The spinal cord.
I am the longest part of the digestive system, responsible for absorbing nutrients from food.
The small intestine.
This system removes waste from the blood, while this system helps regulate water balance by signaling when to retain or release fluids.
The excretory (urinary) and endocrine systems.
