What is the Heart?
If the small intestine is damaged and cannot absorb nutrients properly, which two other body systems would be directly affected, and why?
What are the circulatory system (fewer nutrients in the blood) and muscular system (less energy for movement)?
Damage to bones can also interfere with the production of blood cells.
Which additional body system is affected and why?
What is the circulatory system, because blood cells are made in bone marrow?
On a hot day, a student runs laps in PE and begins sweating, breathing faster, and feeling thirsty.
Which three body systems are working together to cool the body and keep internal conditions balanced, and how does each system help?
What are the integumentary system (sweating to release heat), respiratory system (releasing heat and carbon dioxide through faster breathing), and urinary system (maintaining water balance)?
