The
Which set of organs helps the human body get rid of waste (urine)?
kidneys and bladder
What is the main function of the immune system?
to recognize and attack disease-causing organisms
Which two systems interact most to supply the body with nutrients?
The digestive system breaks down the food to make it available for absorption, and the circulatory system transports the nutrients to parts of the body.
Which 2 body systems work together to send oxygen throughout the body?
respiratory and circulatory
What is an example of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system interacting to maintain homeostasis?
The brain sends a message to move a muscle.
An animal's skin protects it from extreme temperatures. When an animal senses it is too cold, it curls into a ball. During this process, the skin works in conjunction with which body system?
nervous system
Which two systems of the human body interact to maintain homeostasis by utilizing white blood cells against invaders?
immune and circulatory
Carter's endocrine glands secrete hormones directly intohis blood. The blood carries the hormones throughout the body. Each hormone acts only upon the organ that recognizes it. During this process, the endocrine glands work in conjunction with which body system?
circulatory
Liquid waste is held in the bladder until the bladder sends sensory information to the brain to let the brain know that the bladder is full. The brain controls the release of this waste. What 2 systems are working together?
nervous and excretory
What is a major function of skeletal muscles?
movement of body extremities through locomotion
How does Kameron's skin and mucous membranes act as barriers to infection?
His skin is tough and forms an effective physical barrier, while pathogens are trapped by sticky mucus.
The digestive and excretory systems work together to get the nutrients needed from food and then release waste products. If the waste products of food are not removed, they can cause pain and discomfort. Why it is important for waste products to be released?
Human bodies cannot stay healthy if they contain excess waste and materials.
Liquid waste is held in the bladder until the bladder sends sensory information to the brain to let the brain know that the bladder is full. The brain controls the release of this waste. Which 2 systems are working together to make this happen?
nervous and excretory
The human circulatory system is composed of a network of arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels that carry blood and lymph throughout the body. An essential task by which the circulatory system helps the body maintain homeostasis is
distributing white blood cells that attack disease across different organs.
List 2/5 major functions of Lupe's skin?
get rid of waste
temperature control
barrier to pathogens
protection
make vitamin D
Which two systems of the human body interact to maintain homeostasis by utilizing white blood cells against invaders?
immune and cirulatory
An animal's skin protects it from extreme temperatures. When an animal senses it is too cold, it curls into a ball. During this process, the skin works in conjunction with which body system?
The nervous system (the sensory receptors in the skin sense the cold and send the message to the brain.)
List 1 of 3 ways that exercise is good for Luis’ veins.
Exercise helps force blood through the veins.
Exercise helps keep the walls around veins strong.
Exercise helps keep blood from accumulating and stretching veins.
How does Bryce’s skeletal system interact with his nervous system?
His skeletal system provides protection for his brain and spinal cord.
Garrett plays on a soccer team and kicked the soccer ball into the goal. What role did his muscles perform?
His muscles moved the bones in his legs.
Describe the internal feedback system that occurs between the respiratory system and the circulatory system?
Increased activity increases the need for oxygen within an organism. This stimulates an increase in the respiratory rate. An increased respiratory rate stimulates an increased heart rate, which in turn causes additional oxygen to be supplied to the muscles.
Gas exchange occurs between the tissue cells and the blood in the ________.
capillaries
Many physiological processes are controlled by calcium. The levels of calcium found in the blood are controlled by hormones. The hormone calcitonin is released from the endocrine system to reduce blood calcium levels when these levels get too high. Which regulatory system stores excess calcium from the blood after stimulation by calcitonin?
Skeletal System
Which system’s main job is to protect the inner organs of the body?
Integumentary System (hair, skin, and nails)
What system produces red blood cells?
Skeletal system (bone marrow makes red blood cells)
