What is muscle?
The endocrine system uses these chemical messengers to control body processes and maintain homeostasis.
What are hormones?
200 — Name the longest bone in the human body that connects to the hip.
What is the femur?
200 — The central nervous system contains the brain and this long structure that carries signals down the back.
What is the spinal cord?
Receptors that bring sensory (input) information to the nervous system are called what?
What are sensory nerves?
Give one organ from the urinary/excretory system that removes waste (besides the kidneys).
What is the bladder (or urethra, lungs, sweat glands, liver, or colon)?
This gland in the brain is often called the "master gland" because it helps control other endocrine glands.
What is the pituitary gland?
300 — These four general bone shapes include long, short, flat, and irregular bones. Give one example of a flat bone.
What is the skull (or rib or sternum)?
The left and right sides of the cerebrum control opposite sides of the body. Which side of the body does the left cerebrum control?
What is the right side?
The nervous system's motor nerves carry signals to produce movement. Are motor signals considered input or output?
What is output?

What is a compound fracture? (or greenstick, comminuted)
(for example: compound, greenstick, or comminuted).

What are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem?
Name two functions of the cerebellum or brain stem listed in the image extractions
What are movement coordination and regulation of heart rate/breathing?
(for example: movement coordination, heart rate, breathing).
Explain briefly how skeletal and muscular systems and the nervous system work together to lift an object (two or three short steps).
Nervous system sends motor signals to muscles → muscles contract via tendons attached to bones → bones move at joints to lift the object.
Name two organs or systems (other than kidneys/bladder) that help remove waste from the body as listed in the materials.
What are the lungs and liver? (also: sweat glands, colon)
