Organ Systems
This system includes the heart and blood vessels, and is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
The Circulatory System (Cardiovascular)
What is the relationship between cells and tissues?
Tissues are made up of different types of cells working together.
During the fight-or-flight response, this system releases adrenaline to prepare the body for quick action.
The Endocrine System
This system includes the lungs and is responsible for bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide.
The Respiratory System
What is the relationship between organs and organ systems?
Organ systems are made up of different types of organs working together.
This system speeds up breathing during fight-or-flight to deliver more oxygen to the body.
The Respiratory System
This system allows the body to move, maintain posture, and produce heat. It works closely with the skeletal system.
The Muscular System
Why do organs have different types of tissues?
So that organs can complete specific functions
This system carries adrenaline and oxygen through the blood to muscles during fight-or-flight.
The Circulatory System
This system breaks down food into nutrients the body can use for energy, growth, and repair.
The Digestive System
What is the hierarchy of living things from largest to smallest?
Organism > Organ System > Organ > Tissue > Cell
In the fight-or-flight response, these TWO systems work together when adrenaline increases heart rate, and blood delivers more oxygen to the muscles.
Circulatory and Endocrine
This system processes information and coordinates the body’s response using electrical signals carried by neurons.
The Nervous System
Sort the following terms in order of complexity of an organism from smallest to largest
Skin, Human, Skin Cell, Integumentary System, Epidermis Tissue
Skin Cell < Epidermis Tissue < Skin < Integumentary System < Human
In fight-or-flight, the brain sends signals that cause muscles to tense and prepare for action. Identify two systems and explain how their interaction helps the body respond quickly to danger.
